Isn’t the asking price ~$200/sqft?

Ya it’s kinda weird. You’d think someone bright enough to earn enough money to build a multi-million dollar house would also be smart enough to check development plans for the surrounding area. I suppose not.
Edit: asking is closer to $400/sqft. Comment still applies though. It’s also a huge plot of land, 10ac inside city limits is substantial.

Asking is $3.5MM, didnt that article say 16,000 sqft? My Marth is under 220/sqft there.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Ring road would suck but that is a lot of house for the money. Is the location that bad? I never get that far out.

Complete with full sized barn hockey rink. Rent that sucker out to minor league teams. Not a fan of the grid road.

npham covered it. Plus the article claim of 16k sqft is simply wrong/exaggerated, no matter how you calculate.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Ring road notwithstanding, the location is pretty good, except it's on the wrong side of the city limits. When buying an acreage, one of the benefits is being part of MD rockyview tax base instead of CoC - it's a 30-50% discount on taxes ($/sqft). This is basically the worst of all worlds. Acreage size lot to take care of, close proximity to tons of traffic/noise, and high taxes. Basically the only positive is the location - it's a huge amount of lot/house in very close proximity to city amenities.
Is it just me, or did they just sawzall the legs of the built in desk out to remove it from the office?

Gotcha
I don’t think it’s necessarily misvalued at $3.5MM is all. And I think current owner is likely taking a bath.

Realtor 101 "developed square footage" or "living area" including basement and who knows what else vs MLS "floor space" which is above grade and excludes wall thickness, etc. The ad itself says 14,600 sq ft of developed space.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
There's no standard as far as I know for which number makes up the denominator in the $/sq ft calc for either sale price or build price.

Beyond: I want a fancy oversized finished garage with room for 13 cars with all the toys lifts and poly flooring and an awesome basement media room 8k HDR 12 speaker Atmos home theatre setup with a hot tub and a pool.
Also beyond: hurr durr realtors are slimy bastards for including full developed living space in the ad
Sorry but all that makes me chuckle.
To me the full developed space is more useful for estimating build cost than a gerrymandered above ground not including walls or garage or patio etc. etc. just my opinion.

Likely bought the land and some tear down for $1.2M in 2006. It would be hard to build that for $2M, even in 2006.

It looks like cheap bottom end builder basics.
The owners are most likely the builders as well, I bet they built that place for less than $150/sqft.
