Nov. 15, 2007 - Building Cost Calculator

The house I "built" on the Building Cost Calculator was flawed.

Calculate the Cost of YOUR Columbus Dream Home

It only had two baths "Quality Class" determines the number of as well as quality of baths. I did not read directions. I flew through it. I went back and redid to see if I was consistent in quality what the difference in cost would be.

I still think there is something odd about the ZIP code... not representative of new construction in Central Ohio.... Compared to real sales in 2007.

By School District 3200 square foot homes:

Big Walnut - $486,165
Columbus - $517,531 (These it turns out are condos... the single family homes were smaller)
Dublin - $440,466
Hilliard - $484,994
Olentangy - $429,978
