Just curious – cost of rebuild

Categories: Research

hello everybody – long time lurker, first time poster.

We’ve just moved to NY and looking to buy a house in Flatbush in the next year or so.

I’m curious as to the cost to build one of these houses from scratch. ie get an idea of what the underlying land is valued at.

eg What would be a ballpark to build one of these to the same specification? http://www.bhsbrooklyn.com/detail.asp?id=719448
(no particular reason for choosing that one, just that its got a floorplan and okay pictures)

I appreciate it’s one of those “how long is a piece of string” type questions but any comments would be appreciated.

On the other forums I frequent, it is customary for the newbie to buy a round at the virtual bar – so what are yo having?
