Should I consider building instead of buying?

Pfeifer, KS

I am one of those fence sitters. I am looking to either buy or build in the $500K-$1.0M price range but I have not found what I am looking for in the Mt P area.
It seems many sellers want top of the bubble prices which is unrealistic. Having said that, I may be better off building now that the trades are hungry.
I would purchase a lot separately and build a 3000 SF home.
I would think the building price would be relatively reasonable so I can get everything I want at a price I am willing to pay.
What kind of SF price would I be looking at?

Do I build now or do I wait for prices to come down further?

Or are there great deals on existing homes which I have not seen yet?
