Question:
Dear Mr. Princiotta;
I'm wondering if it's cheaper to build than to buy in the Ottawa area these days. How much can we expect to pay per square foot if we decide to hire a builder?
Sincerely,
Melanie McElhinney
Answer:
Hi Melanie,
It is probably less expensive to purchase a used home than a new. Depending on the size of home, a new home could cost more or less $150 per square foot to build brand new.
Regards,
Joe Princiotta
