The last three years have really taken a toll on the industry. The demand for building supplies has been huge. You don't see annual prices being listed anymore. Most of what you will see is prices that are only good for 90 days.

It is hard to compare it. Most custom home builders don't build smaller than 2,200 square feet. And that is about what we top out at. So its not a true apples to apples comparison.
