ctafoya Report post Posted September 14, 2022 House is sold! The buyers did a fast close, rate lock was expiring. We parked at a rental for now. Downsized square feet by about 1100SF. It sucks, but it'll help weed out what we need vs what we want. Big gamble to see if the market dips or takes off again. We are flirting with the idea of just buying land and going from there. Anyone ever built their own house? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are flirting with the idea of just buying land and going from there. Anyone ever built their own house? In the process right now, Plans and permits took 7 months thru the county. Breaking ground next week. Lumber prices have dropped 35% from my first quotes. Concrete is still high. Not bad if you have the know how to do it yourself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctafoya Report post Posted September 15, 2022 That's crazy it takes that long for permits. I'd more then likely be doing most of the work on my own with some help from my father in law. He built his own house as well. Still a lot of time to figure it out and see how the real estate market plays out over the next few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
