I think the writing is on the wall... and I think I got what I wanted to get from this thread.
From a cost perspective, it doesn't make sense to build new. From the best I can tell, we'd be dropping 200-250K to get what we want, and when we're done we'd probably not be able to sell for anywhere near that based on what I see on the market now.
I think the only impetus for building new would be if you already had or inherited some land. Or if you knew exactly what you wanted, and don't want to compromise in other ways and don't plan on selling for many, many years.
