In 2020, the average cost to build a house was over $485,000. Meanwhile, the average cost to buy an existing single-family home was nearly $309,000. That means choosing to buy a pre-existing house instead of building a new one could save you $177,000!

Also, of the largest fixed costs in constructing a house, the groundworks, foundations, and roofing are the ones with the heaviest price tags. But the specification and cost for a set foundation size and roof layout will not vary that much whether the design is single or double storey.

The Foundation Pouring a foundation is expensive; often it is one of the most expensive parts of building a home, usually over most of the items on this list. The type of foundation and the climate you’re building in will also matter. Adding a basement will increase the cost of the foundation too, of course.

The type and quality of materials used to build your property can greatly influence the total price. Different material types won’t mean much to the average Joe, but using a timber frame is typically the cheapest option, brick veneer a median price point and double skin brick the most expensive option.

Cost to Build a Modular Home The average cost to build a modular prefab home is $80 to $160 per square foot. Of the three types of fabricated building structure options, modular homes are the most expensive, with a 2,500-square-foot home costing around $200,000 to $365,000.

Home construction is certainly not cheap given land costs, labor costs, building materials, etc. For starters, building materials alone are generally more expensive in LA.

For this budget, you could build a four-bedroom home, which typically costs $200,000 to $500,000, or up to 4,000 square feet.

Lumber and plywood prices have jumped through the roof in the U.S. Building materials prices will retreat in 2022, returning to pre-pandemic levels by 2023. They reflect housing-specific issues, not general inflation. (The general inflation is coming, I have argued, but lumber is not an early sign.)

Cost Comparison of a One Story vs Two Story Home When it comes to pure economics, two story homes are surprisingly the more affordable option. Tall rather than wide, two story homes have a smaller footprint, which means there is less foundation for the home and also less roof structure up at the top.

It is always cheaper to build your own house, especially if you are careful in selecting trades people. Also shop around for prices on building materials. Try to do some of the laboring yourself but only in consultation with your trades people, as they are the ones with the brains and experience in building.
