I am in shock!!

May 25th, 2006 at 03:24 pm

My husband is a builder. Until a few years ago, he only built custom homes. He does all the inside work by himself, the painting, the trim, builds all the cabinets and built ins, rocks the fireplace, lays the tile, does the hardwood flooring, marble, countertops, plumbing, electrical, etc.
He does it all and perfectly!
He build a nice house in 2000 and it costs about $400,000 to build it. ( He made about $35,000 for the year he spent building it, working 7 days a week, even thanksgiving day)
The lot was $60,000, so they had a total of $460,000.
It has just gone on the market for 1.35 million dollars! Wow!!

    Goodness...thats such an increase for just 6 years...but it is the trend all over. Our house has had a similare value increase...Makes you wonder how the next generation will EVER be able to make it....We already have both parents working outside the home to make it...what's next? the kids?
    Frown
    On a side note, this does show how talented your DH must be...to build houses fit for millionnaires!!! He must be(should be!) very proud!
