sf bay area building costs per sq ft
Any real estate folks have estimates for what it costs per sq ft a new homebuilder to build in the 2k, 3k, or 4k sq ft range? I'm talking "far" east 580 corridor, such as Dublin, Livermore, or even as far as Tracy.

Re: sf bay area building costs per sq ft
Funny you should ask. I got quoted two days ago from a competent real estate agent at 400 per sq. ft. for a house on the peninsula with a reputable builder and reasonably upgraded building material. She said, "Don't count on anything less than 300 per sq. ft." It sounded high to me.
I suppose that it could possibly be cheaper in those East Bay areas. But I think most of the cost differential is in land price, not building price.

Re: sf bay area building costs per sq ft
it really varies so much between where you are. and what you are doing. a cheap tract type house or a nice custom job. you pay for what you get.
california and cities are alot more to build in as the permits and fees are high.

Re: sf bay area building costs per sq ft
Really depends on how custom you want to get, but it can range anywhere from $200-$350 for about 95% of builders. There are some significantly higher, of course, but for a normal, nice 3500 sq ft custom home, you should be in the upper end of that range in a place like Livermore/Dublin.
(this is just the construction, of course. the lot is extra) Most of my appraisers use $200 sq ft for replacement value for normal ranch style older homes with nice updates, so you can figure from there.
