SAN JUAN ISLAND

CUSTOM CONSTRUCTION OR BUY EXISTING AND REMODEL?

In the current market it is much more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to purchase new or custom construction. Why is that? The costs of materials and labor did not correct as the housing and land prices did during the recession.

The agents that work with General Contractors were quoting estimates of $250-$350 per foot for mid-level new home construction costs before the recession and are now quoting $350-$400 in the current market. This price per foot will afford some hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, granite and a high-end appliance package.

REDUCED

SOUTH FACING WATER VIEWS Within walking distance of town and public beach with boat launch. Views from most every room include Jackson’s beach, Griffin Bay and it’s wildlife and the outer islands. The home offers 2580 sf with 2 bedrooms plus the lower area is finished with rec room.

GULL COVE LOT

2500+ SqFt. 3 Bed / 2 Bath, open living, dining & kitchen.

Nice finishes include hardwood floors, concrete counter tops and T&G cedar ceiling. Smugglers Cove Community beach access included.

.57 of an acre, private roads, a paid Roche Harbor water hook up, valid septic permit for 4 bedroom system, power and phone in the road and access to the Gull Cove community beach. The plat is on the north end of San Juan Island.

Some homes on the island have been built for as high as $1,000 per square foot. Those sellers that decided to sell after building their dream home at those levels may lose money as the current market rarely supports those extra fine improvements and unfortunately, all the receipts in the world do not make a home more valuable than the market is willing to pay. The buyers rely on the market approach to value – comparing similar homes available, more than the replacement cost approach.
