[quote=Nor-LA-SD-GUY2]There is no comparison to a custom house built on a custom lot (say sitting on top of a mountain or backing to a forest) to a tract home, the custom home will easily cost 2-5 times as much to build as a tract home.

The same thing can be said in reverse. There’s no comparison to a tract house on a large lot with ocean or canyon or forest view to a custom home that’s stuffed in a 4k-5k sq-ft lot with a view of your neighbor.

I don’t buy for one bit that it cost 2-5 times to build a custom homes vs a tract home. The cost of permit can’t possibly be that expensive.
