Not to be a smartass - but with the massive amount of foreclosures and shortsales in Florida wouldn't it have made more sense to buy one already built for considerably less than it costs to build? My house that I paid $250k for in '06 is now selling in the $45-$60k range. There are more houses than money to buy in Florida. When you build your costs are fixed - when you buy you can usually get in Florida now for about .25 on the dollar.
