We bought our land for $7,500 and build our house for $33k. All back in 73, 74. We were recently offered $1.3M. INSANE!!!
The problem is where the hell do you go if you sell? Very limited inventory and prices, as everyone has pointed out, are sky high.

No boat, back in the suds.

Our new subdivision with 28 house lots will be selling out quickly!
These are smaller homes on smaller lots than we normally have done in the past.... and they are going up fast. I believe they are priced starting in the low $600,000's....crazy!
Before we started on it, a few months ago, my boss wanted reassurance that I wouldnt be retiring this year.
I have spent the last 49 years working in constuction and the wear and tear on my hands is severe, and its becoming more difficult using them , going to hang in to make it a nice round figure of 50 years next June. In the meantime I would like to tutor one of our younger guys on cabinet installation.
Sometimes when I observe the methods of work these kids use i just shake my head....when I know much better ways...but dont want to be overbearing or be the "know it all". If they ask thats different and I am always willing to share what I've learned.

With the recent rise in interest rates and historic inflation....we are expecting a big drop off in our new home sales. Not a concern for me personally as I am planning on working less....not retiring......just cutting back on work and spend more time doing what I like.
Besides when we are not building homes we have lots of commercial properties that need retrofitting. Never been laid off or out of work since I started in the trade.
In June of next year, it will be fifty years that I have been building homes.... looking forward to that milestone as a finish line, after which I will defer my responsibilities to the youngsters.
