At present, you can buy an existing house for less than you can build
it.


So? That has little to do with why a person would want to build their
own house as opposed to owning someone elses ideas about what you
want.


Or, it might be the entire reason, asslick. The OP didn't say why he
wanted to build a house. He did mention the economy as a factor.


Now tell us all, what do you know about the housing market in
Atlanta?


Apparently a lot more than you know.


As usual, when shown you're an idiot, you instantly start your third
grade vulgar insults just like your brother Harry. I didn't say the
economy had nothing to do with his decision. DID I?


The rest is a non-answer. You don't know a damned thing about the
market in Atlanta. If you did, you'd know that in many areas of
Atlanta, the market value of houses is still pretty high.

Well, really? Prove me wrong. Almost all of Atlanta's areas are in
much better shape than the rest of the country. Now, what sources did
you use to analyze the situation here? What counties did you research?
What are the numbers?
Oh, and seeing how I'm "wrong on all counts". Where did I say that the
economy had nothing to do with the poster's decision? I know, I've
proven what a dummy you are, therefore, let the childish vulgar
Harryesque name calling begin.
