    I mean, it’s the price of land that went up. The house will always cost the same to build. It still sucks that the person owning that land and the one making commission selling it is making bank, but changes in housing prices (especially the ones that are already built and just sitting there) won’t usually translate into higher construction salaries.

      yes largely its the price of land but lumber prices are insane. 1 sheet of OSB is like 50 bucks. 2x6x12 is 15. not to mention copper prices for all the wiring
