@Account Closed there are so many variables that there is no absolute answer to your question. 

Which architect are you using

Which GC are you using 

Are the soil reports done on the property already or is that another cost and variable you are unfamiliar with 

What kind of material do you want to use 

I can go on but I'm sure you get the idea. 

If this is for you, you can choose any style and budget that realistically works for you.. if you are doing it to sell the clientele in South Pasadena is very intelligent and appreciates quality work and craftsmanship. (Ie you wouldn't use vinyl flooring/ Pirch would be your go to appliance store over Home Depot) 

I'm sorry that doesn't answer your question but I hope it gives you some perspective.

    I'm looking for myself (actually my sister).  We don't have an architect or GC.  It looks like the houses next door are already built.  It's an empty lot.  I have no idea about soil reports.   We don't want vinyl.  Probably more middle to upper quality.  We would like granite and better cabinets.  

    There is a lot available so I was just curious would it be worthwhile to build on it instead of fighting others for houses in the area.  How would you suggest starting to research?  If it cost too much, then we won't even pursue this avenue.

    @Account Closed who could detail your options from remodeling to developing. 

    If you need help finding a place within a particular budget, that's what I can help you with if you needed guidance in that area. 

    Let me know and I will be happy to help

    @Account Closed

    As a ballpark figure it's about $190 per square foot.  If you want high end finishes because the area demands it it will cost more.  Close of escrow to close of escrow should be about 12 months (ballpark).  This is the build cost & does not include the cost of the land.  Unless you've done quite a few flips I would advise not to go this route as it's very risky.

    Good luck

    For a basic home that home builders like KB Homes build, about 125/sft. A custom home with high end finishes, about 200/sft.
