Julian,
I think you are a bit off on your price estimates on a Newly Constructed home. But nicely enough, you are on the high side of things. A "builder grade" is actually closer to $110 sq/ft and that is with additional unfinished sq/ft in th-e basement. For a nice home with hardwoods, granite, stainless appliances, 42" cabinets, etc.... your looking at about $130-135 sq/ft. With high end stuff being a bit taste specific it's harder to estimate, but about $150-160 sq/ft gives you one heck of a house and $200 sq/ft is basically anything you would want. Feel free to call or email me for more info as I work for one of the bigger builders in the state.

Have you ever thought of Building your custom home in the Roaring Fork Valley?

With the dramatic fall in real estate prices over the last couple of years, the prevailing wisdom has suggested that it is better to buy existing homes than build since they are so cheap.
While I would not disagree with this outlook, land prices have fallen so dramatically that I believe it is now possible to build a brand new home to your exact specifications at a cost that could be equivalent to the current depressed market values.
Along with every thing else in the valley, labor costs have fallen as the construction sector has been the hardest hit and contractors can no longer charge the high prices of 4 years ago.
As a very rough guide, it should be possible to build a fairly simple home for around $150 / square foot and one with "high end" finishes for around $200 / square foot.
