        Not to mention the labor shortage mentioned in this very article. If you want to pay a builder enough to live in the area they are working in, your labor costs will also be very high.

      Eh material prices where I am had nearly doubled, they've dropped back a bit but I had to buy a few pieces of sheet rock and some lumber a few months ago and it was painfully expensive.
