Congratulations 

Meeting with builders today and tomorrow to go over our blueprints of 2200sq ft one story house and get pricing.

We're in NW Ohio. Any guesses on total cost of the build?

We are not doing anything too fancy. Not finishing the basement right away. Vaulted ceilings. But other than that pretty basic/normal for the most part.

someone i know listed their house for 40k over what it was worth and ended up getting 126k over what the houses value was.

No idea, but keep us updated. I'd be curious what kinda of price they give you. This is pretty close to the size of house we'd like to build.

Where did you get your blueprints? Which builders are you meeting with?

Our architect was Graham Design Group out of Toledo. Really liked them, and more specifically Joel Graham who we worked with closely during the process.

The builders we are meeting with our local (NW Ohio, SE Michigan) custom home builders: Blake Homes and Redfox Custom Homes.

Blake Homes just finished a friends of ours home. The home is stunning, already finished their basement, 3 car garage, and is a 2600sq ft. ranch - that was over $500k.

I am desperately hoping ours can be as close to $400k as possible.

If you don't mind telling, how much was the design service? Was it a fully custom design?

Their group charges $0.60 / sq. ft. So our prints, after a 2200 sq. ft. house was right around $1300.

You might be the winner. We told him we wanted to stay as close to $400k as we could and he seemed optimistic about that. Lumber has gone down a bit. He's hoping lumber keeps dropping if interest rates keep rising.

any of you have an idea how i can get ahold of the plans for a house i used to own? we've decided that is the home we want to build on our plot.

If you know the builder of the home, contact them. They could still have the plans archived. Long shot though maybe.

only concern i have with that is that it's a huge corporation that built it so i feel like there is like a 2 hour phone call involved with that for them to just tell me it's going to cost an insane amount and i'm not going to want to do it.

What a process.....

Just met with both builders today who bid out the cost of our house (2,157 sq. ft.)

Builder A - $463,000

Builder B - $445,000

Pretty wild. With the purchase of the lot were looking at half a million. Luckily, we have a home now that we are in and will sell and can use the profit there towards the down payment of new home.
