Same as last year, or better (lower prices, easier to find contractors)?
Availability will be location-dependent, but I know of a few families that thought they had it all planned out. Finally decided to sell the house and plan to buy property to build the dream home.

Each one of them have broken their property purchase contracts as the availability of materials and even contractors willing to take on the custom jobs was far and few between. Things like windows were 6 months out and they haven’t even finalized a design to determine exactly what windows and how many.

I, for one, would love to do what DETRoadster is doing (and it’s looking killer!), but it sure is a wild time to be doing it. Gotta have those connects!
