but by doing it myself i was able to pay out of pocket for material and no mortgage, so if you have it built it would add another 50k and then if you got a moorage it would add about another 100k over the life of the loan.

Your keywords, "luxury home", SW Cape ( affluent area of the Cape), "top finishes".

These are all factors that will affect your taxable value.

For a 2500 sq foot, SW Cape home, non waterfront, approx. values are between 190,000 up to $340,000. Conversely taxes would be between 1400
