Here's what I've always been curious about - putting aside property costs, how does it cost that much less to build a house in CLE - in terms of labor and materials?
But more accurately and on a serious note, the huge (percentage) fluctuations from month to month can only mean that there's not much transaction volume going on to smooth things.
Do we know that it does?What is the cost per sq ft of high quality building elsewhere?
Quality new construction in NYC ~$200 sq.ft.
