Thanks for this good work

I think you have made it crystal clear that a disaster of a teardown south of montana will cost us 1.4 million today july 08

a disaster of a teardown will cost us 1.9 million today july 08 north of montana

no one on this board is happy to see the numbers you have shown but there it is - we just have to accept that right now july 08 the prices aren't yet at sane levels

but we know which way they are heading

anon 6:32, I don't understand that analysis. There haven't been any sales in 90403 at that price, and only 2 houses and 1 lot under $2 MM in 90402...out of nearly 30 sales.

No offense, but they don't seem to be heading in the direction you're thinking.

national trends are down, and the westside is part of the nation, so it'll head down too.

the fact that overall things are up doesn't account for the fact that people are generally having to wait weeks, sometimes a month or more, for buyers.

the tide is turning. by 2011 SM will be down by 50% or more you just watch.

Any data on 90405? I think we've seen the most movement there.

let's say that a teardown today north of montana is 2.1 million and a teardown south of montana is 1.5 million


what do you think the average buyer of a teardown is paying to slap up a new house on the land ?

300$/sq foot

No way...I'd say closer to $400-$500 sq. ft. for custom home with all the bells and whistles and arch.fees/permits, etc...


Thats what I'm hearing NOMO

$300/sq. ft. was so 5 years ago....

What does it cost to do a complete remodel? Is it significantly cheaper than building new, per square foot?

Not necessarily less per SF, but a WHOLE lot faster for SM planning and permit purposes. The other good part is working with an existing footprint keeps the design process focused - no blue sky back and forth with radically different designs.

The other plus to remodeling is the spec builders, who looked down their nose at a $500k remodel last year, are now starting to return calls.
