So I am curious how much would it cost to build a house in Madison. I know that would depend on the builder, location, etc.

Say a lot was 70K and we wanted to build a house between 2000-2500 square feet. Full brick with crawlspace or basement home. Could this be done in the $225 range?

I guess I am trying to figure out price per square foot.

Thanks for the assistance.

In Madison City, I would guess it is around $110 to $130 per square foot for full brick on a crawl space.

I"m wondering where you will find a decent lot in Madison for $70 K, lol. Typically, you want your home cost to be 4x lot cost...meaning, the home should price out around $280'ish. (In the perfect world). For resale now, you'll need all the bells and whistles: Hardwood, tile in all wet areas, granite, etc. The big box builders have really stepped up their game and it's hard to compete for resale in those price ranges right now. The one thing that saves many resales is having a nicer lot in an established subdivison with a bit more character.
