I dont but just keep in mind lumber prices have doubled in a year and the US has a shortage of mexicans to build right now

>How custom and what materials are we looking at?
I was thinking of getting an 800-square-foot house built (from ordinary materials--stick-built or panelized) in the backwoods of Pennsylvania, after my early retirement (around a decade from now).

There were some architects in the last thread, maybe they'll come out in a while.
What specialty needs are you considering for this custom house to be able to suit?
I wager you don't need anything bigger, especially if you don't get the huge bread-baking furnace in the middle of the house. Many women hate the idea of sut, smoke and the smell of burning wood inside the house. I would suggest having a summer-kitchen for that purpose.
Met the guy at a festival where he did a presentation on his craft. Not only is he an amazing woodworker/carpenter, he is one based lad.

>Many women hate the idea of sut, smoke and the smell of burning wood inside the house

Its just a woodstove

In which degenerated country women don't like it ?

>What specialty needs are you considering for this custom house to be able to suit?
Don't misunderstand me. I'm not asking about /diy/ minutiae here. I'm just wondering whether building a house in general is a good idea or a retarded idea.

Built my own house and other structures, unironically in Russia in a siberian village looking like OP pic.

Post more pics of the surroundings, which part of Siberia?

Its Altai Rep.
Few men there have jobs. Everyone just builds.

How do I find cheap apartment buildings

Someone has a idea off buying land in the Netherlands, like forest ground?

Looking good, do you live off your cryptogains? Are you a foreigner ?

Most countries, which have feminine wahmen.

oh fuck, sawdust insulation?

that hillside erosion looks like its going to a problem
considering they don't look like they have money for engineered solutions i'd say be creeper vines on them but the soil looks like poor quality
so best sell your cottage before the literal plunge

Living off of wageslave gains. I'm American; married a Siberian girl. I've used crypto to get money cross-borders and into the Russian accounts, but honestly its so cheap to live here. The property cost me $17k in 2014. It was just a 20 coт. plot of land with a shed. Both my kids were born in Russia and Putin gave us $14k under the motherhood fund (мaтepинcкий кaпитaл) which can be used for "dwelling of the children" so I spent it all on building materials.

Yea, amazing how much a difference homegrown food makes in your life.

Kek, I had no idea what it was either. My father-in-law dumped it up there. Its more like sand. Ancient slav wisdom I guess.

Based; have a great life friend!

Your veggies are better for you too if you use heirloom varieties and taste better, the nutritional load of supermarket veggies went down with the time, they do grow slower though.

Nice. I've been meaning to get more into it. Can only grow between June and September, but then everything grows just effortlessly. Chickens are also on my list.

Building wooden houses is not that hard. In my country we have traditional architecture catalogs and in addition to house plans, they give you all the technological information you actually need to build one. Then it's just planning, counting how much material you need and also what tools you need.

I have a pile of money (100k) that I have sitting in the bank ready to make a down payment with. But there's no inventory. Nobody is selling. Is this because of the time of year or because of the mortgage forbearance?
I'm getting older. I want a place of my own. But why would anybody sell when they're not on the hook for their own bills?

Master in architecture reporting in. Ama.

I'm sure you know many people in the industry. Is the housing market going to change any time soon?

I really have to wonder what the future will hold will these interest rates, foreclosures on pause, and everyone panic buying houses outside of their means. This is either as good as it's gonna get a time to buy, or the absolute worst time.
>be house hunting in (((Northern Virginia)))
>starter homes are literally in the 700's on the low end; most shit is 800 or even close to 1mil
>chinks and indians buying 99% of the properties sold in the last year according to county-level data I see
>hear many accounts from others of houses getting $50K earnest offers and/or selling within 2 days of listing
at least the joggers and hispanics are filtered by prices, so I guess that's good

Inventory is way down in winter. Also the market is very hot, so if you're going to want a decent place you're going to have to get aggressive.

I built with my dad growing up in the states, but in Russia like I said, EVERYONE builds. Construction / material stores are everywhere. I deferred to my in-laws for specifics like hiring out excavation and septic tank install. Also electric hookup. We laid foundation with some help, then just started building. Online you can find schematics that tell you exactly what to buy and building progression. Hardware stores have them printed out so I just got a basic one and had the materials delivered at stages. Again I had to rely on in-laws for Siberian log cabin style building, so I learned about "chinking" and other insulation nuances for -40C winters.

After the basic structure, I just kept adding whatever I wanted. This yurt-style thing is an outdoor kitchen. One of my neighbors builds them and I just asked him to help me in return for getting him car parts for his toyota.

How accurate is The Fountainhead?

I hate drawing homes in the city. They sell no matter what, so all of the qualities are outside of the architecture. Parasitic. I think more and more will move out. Its what I did, and seems like a future trend. Properties 30 min from a large city will increase more in value

as user below said, you'll see inventory increase in the spring and summer as people need to move to get their kids in school and shit.
And depending on how cucked the area is, you may indeed need to literally tack on an additional 20-fucking-thousand dollars just to bE CoMPetItIvE with your offer -- this market is like a scummy used car salesman's heaven, cause suckers are flocking in 100% willing to be pressured into buying the first thing they see at a huge markup.

Only watched the movie a long time ago. What i struggle with is land owners who think with dollar signs. My entire proposal got wrecked today so he could get 49.6% use of the land instead of 47%. Now it looks like shit.

I have a house: 3beds, 2baths, 1,691sq ft, 8,002 sqft lot
$175kest on zillow

It's kinda too big for me and my GF and I might want to sell and downsize. Is now a good time to sell since the market is so scarce or should I hold and sell later when its easier to buy a new place
?

cheers bros, comfy thread

Consider if you're going to have kids and if you won't regret it later.

Is it difficult? Do you think I could learn on my own with nothing but manuals and material

Those are all dachas, people only live in them for a couple months out of the year. Their permanent home is in a commie block.

Just bought a tiny cabin on 2.2 acres of woods. Hoping to do some building/expansion out there.

lmoa, no
not the Siberia user, but it is all doable. you'll most probably need at least one helping hand when assembling larger pieces, when working higher (top logs, rafters, etc.) try to plan a small project and learn on it, the mistakes you make will not be crucial, since this project is probably not going to be meant for living, say, a small storehouse or sauna.

man that shit is so existentially crushing and generally depressing just to look at. How do people cope?

It's not difficult. Building is extremely satisfying. What I didn't learn from other people I figured out from manuals, internet and youtube. Actually a lot I learned from boomers turned out to be not the best way, like that sand roof insulation. I'll still leave it there for the luls.

>how do they cope
Those new ones have like duplexes per floor. So like 2000+ sqft apartments. At least the ones I've been in. Also he's right that they only work like 3 months per year. Still NOT cozy.

It's very hard to buy a house now. My real estate agent essentially says I'm SOL until the summer even though I have the money. The inventory doesn't exist.

tell me more.

what have you built etc.

Fuck off PA is full.

Even Wayne County?

>Wayne County
I unironically live here and yes we are full. Leave my trout alone god dammit.

I'm in California, and most places that aren't total shitholes don't even make it to the market. They get sold to someone in the owner's personal network. If they do get listed, they get sold the same day, often sight unseen.

I have red here that it's worth to invest in Vietnam real estate
Can someone smarter than me explain to me why?
