The average size of a new house has now risen to 2,720 square feet.
The average cost of a new house has now risen to 351,000 (that’s 100,000 more than it was seven years ago)
And what does a home buyer get for that extra money?
1) Smart home technology
and…
2) Another ten years of paying a mortgage
3) Half of all children under the age of 30 still living with their parents.
4) A cookie-cutter home built as cheaply as possible.
There is an alternative.
A handmade house.
Much higher quality.
And at a lower price.
But, for a season in your life, a year or two, you will need to contribute a good deal of effort towards it’s design and construction.
I designed and built this home for myself.
At half the current average cost of a new home.
And, it’s larger than the average home.
It’s also built better.
It did take a lot of effort.
It was worth it, though.
I’m not special… you can do it too.
I’m on the downhill side now of finishing up the Handmade House Academy. It’s taken more effort and time to put together than I ever imagined. It will be ready to go by the end of this month. Don’t miss it. Eight hours of video content where I will share all that I’ve learned over the course of several decades in how the average guy or gal can design and build their own home… and not just any home… an amazing home… a handmade home.
