The cost per sq foot has dropped and of course depends on the finishes you want in your new home. Call my Husband he builds custom Homes in the area and has his finger on the pulse 843 303 5772 Jeff Johnson and visit his site blackdogdb.com Its a great time to build!! Diana

Hi Weakley,

Good question, long answer but I will do my best to keep it short and sweet. New construction prices vary with builders, location and upgrades. Usaually the Big national builders are priced lower than your custom builders. At this time I see square foot prices varying from about 86-200 per square foot. There is another angle to consider, prefab homes. Prefab homes are becoming popular and being considered by everyone for a starter home to mansions on Kiawah and Seabrook.

I would talk to your Realtor, they will help you alot.

Good Luck.

The previous answers are correct but it is very important to note that builders are being very aggressive right now with pricing and incentives and this would include a contract/custom build job. There are some great builders out there building below $150/ft for the first time in several years for top of the line finishes and materials. I run the development and Projects Division for Sandlapper Real Estate Group and am in constant contact with builders in the area about the current and propopsed invenstory.

Give me a call if you'd like more inside industry information.

The average depends a lot on area and type of construction, homebuilder, type of home, ect. In James island a new home can be 350-700000. The average cost per sq feet is about $200 a sqft. I would be happy to send you more info on New construction in areas of interest if you would like.

Weakley,

The AVG price per sqft ranges a LOT in Charleston but I see that you are looking in James Island.

For James Island, this year to date, on Single Family Detached Homes (no Condos)

The avg listing price per square foot is: $222/sq ft

The avg SELLING price per square foot was $184/sq ft

I hope that helps and please feel free to drop me a line anytime with othe questions about buying a home here in Charleston.
