Participant[quote=sdcellar]As I understand it, you have to build like an 18-inch thick wall to conform to their architectural guidelines. This means that each wall has to actually be two walls; i.e. it comes down to building a house within a house.

Twice the framing really is not that much of a cost addition: Houses cost much more than the wood or the labor of nailing the framing together, as you can guess by the time that framing takes relative to the rest of the construction time. A house may take four months to build; framing takes four days.Still, no way would I build a custom house, unless there was something specific I just had to have. Not only is custom construction expensive, it is one hell of a headache.

Participant[quote=sdrealtor]What you dont understand about running an MLS is that it is not just a database. That part is cheap. Its all the other things that go on behind that which are expensive.
[/quote]I am curious. What are some of those things?

Participant[quote=sdrealtor]All things considered I’d call it about 25% off peak.[/quote]
Which is about right, if you think about it, for this point in the unwind.
For people arguing against sdrealtor’s observations: Why would wealth suddenly disappear? Why should it? Where would it go, all of a sudden?
Expect a long, slow grind.
