That's like saying the days of buying a $5000 diamond ring are over and you can easily buy one for $1000. There is a huge range of factors involved that affect building cost from foundation to finish. Many builders exploited the market a few years back, but they are now paying the price and the days of selling an average home for premium dollars are over (for now anyway). Yes, you can build a house for $100 a square foot (or even less), but I have also seen several homes that cost more than that in materials only.....it's all about what you want and what you can afford. There are homes on the lake that are worth over $400 a square foot and very many that are not; in today's buyers market, I'd say the old adage of "you get what you pay for" stands true more than ever.
