Many are in the mid 200s as well.The majority of our neighborhood is single family homes built in the 60s and 70s.

Break even points from the low 2s to mid 3s is where the market is at, depending on this, that, and the other.

Lots of different topics and a very friendly group.DFW Mid Cities REIA - https://dfwmidcitiesreia.com/ - meets each month and is completely free.

I called dozens of them yesterday, only for them to be either unavailable or for the phone to be hung up on me (even in mid-sentence!)

We will be living in one unit so we aren't looking for the cheapest build but rather looking for a quality build at mid-price.

About mid-month I served the 5-day pay or quit.

Again, not super precise temporarily, but it gives you a sense of how each tract has grown from 2000 to the mid-2010's.I compiled a massive spreadsheet of ACS 1-Year Studies, which only gets as local as the MSA.

best time was the mid 70s to be exact.. by 1980 prices had started their historic appreciation rise second to none in the US.anyone who bought in the 70s in the right areas is a multi millionaire on equity alone.. and if it was the exact right area SF peninsula you could be a multi millionaire with exactly ONE single family home..

although it really depends on were your working. downtown is fun.. we build a lot there price points though start in the mid 400s.. 

I don't have hard numbers, but even the cheaper price of land may be completely washed out by the fact that a builder in Springfield can buy a platted subdivision for less cost per lot than in a rural town. as a new home builder myself.. the reason most of the mid west smaller areas has little to no production building is as you so accurately point out you can buy an existing home for less than replacement costs.. so until that flips.. the only new construction is usually upper end  those that have the money and want to build themselves a nice home to live in.. as a point in fact. in our market by the time you buy a lot and pay for permits etc your at 200k  before you build anything.. median price point is about 400k..
