http://www.trulia.com/voices/Home_Buying/What_does_it_cost_per_square_foot_to_build_a_new_h-122970I am looking at 10 acres on the SANTA ROSA SOUND, I am comparing prices for land and build new verses buying a use home on the sound.en-ushttp://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Destin_FL-120998/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Destin_FL-120998/Charles at todays prices you can get more home for less then you can build one for. I work for several builders and they can build a basic home around $80 sq ft. I hope this helps out and if you need a good builder let me know and I will refer one to you.

I would be happy to discuss options with you. there are so many bargains right now for existing homes, that new construction is going to have a hard time competing from a price perspective. 10 acres on Santa Rosa Sound is a huge amount of land --is this in Fort Walton Beach? Would love to talk to you about what you want to do. Myke Triebold 850-305-6256 MykeSaysSold@aol.comMon, 11 May 2009 19:46:44 -0700
