Please tell me where you can get construction done in ND for less than
$85/sf. I've had contractors ask for $175/sf with a straight face!

Home don't cost that much in Phoenix or Denver, much less ND.

Average cost of a 2000sf home on Colorado Springs is $179K, just under
$90/sf.

Our house, 2,800 sq ft + 1,800 sq ft finished basement (5 bedrooms, 3.5
baths, etc.) was 28 months and $215/ft (not counting the basement
footage) in the St Louis area. We were our own GC.

I'd say St. Louis is a tad more expensive than North Dakota.

How about comparing apples to apples?
