The general market for building houses closely tracks the market for buying houses. It it were 50% cheaper to build a house, everyone would do it. If it were 50% more to build a house, no one would do it. So no matter were you live it's about a wash. The free market sees to that.

Yes, but not everyone wants to wait close to 6-8 months for house to build. Builders aren't dumb, but you can save here and there. I would probably need just foundation and framing done by builder, then I have my own people and myself to do the finish. Or go modular.
I dont care about design etc. 1970s house sell for 500k without any major renovations. If I can build a brand new house under 600k, i think it could be a huge win
