Why is it you can find a 3000 sf house for $300K and also well into $400K in the Holly Springs/Apex area? Is there something about the construction? What accounts for the big price difference for what seems like comparable houses? Should buyer beware?

We are looking at HOlly Springs. Seems as though there is a big price range right in Holly Springs so I am guessing the "location" factor is not it??
What builders are considered "custom"?
As important as "location" and "custom" - the difference is probably because of lot size and lot placement. Cul-de-sacs will likely have a higher price per sqtf than a house right beside a highway.
I think I understand your question. The quality of the homes being built and their customization is often the differing factor. Some homes that might be advertised as $300 have very little in the way of upgrade (e.g., hardwood floors, upgraded cabinets (dovetailed drawers), granite counter tops, high end appliances, brick or stone finishing on the facade, computer network wiring, screened porches or finished patios, etc. Communities amenities might also be different. Check out the neighborhoods and the differences should be apparent to you. If not, buy the one's that cheaper!
If I had to guess, its the quality of the house, the better neighboorhood, better school district, walking distance to shopping and other perks. Rich people that have way too much money dont care, they want the best
