[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 799563, member: 1199"] A friend here in Oriental (not a real estate hot spot) wanted to sell his 2000 sq foot condo and move into house. When he and his wife started looking about 1-2 years ago the cost to build on a lot he already owns was in the 400s. Last year he got two quotes for the same plans north of 700k. The reason? The price of lumber has doubled and is rising. So, he made a full price offer on an existing house nearby that had just gone on the market. Turned down because the house was already under contract for $100k more than the asking price. In two days. [/QUOTE]
