Letâs take the example of a car whose sticker price is $34,000. To buy it, with a 7% four-year loan and a down payment of 20% ($6,800), your payment would be $650 a month. However, if you were to lease instead, you would pay a one-month refundable security deposit and your payment would be $450 a month.
The cost per square foot of a 2000 square foot single story home can be half again as much as the cost per square foot for a 2000 square foot story and a half or two story home.But the cost to construct could be very similar.imber frames live larger and can often be smaller than a conventional home because there are seldom hallways and are no bearing walls. Weâve seen timber frame homes built from $150 to $350 per square foot, but donât be drawn into the âcost per square footâ conundrum. Itâs really smoke and mirrors.
This surveyâs results showed that in 2013, the share of construction costs going to framing and trusses was nearly 17%, up from only 13.5% in 2011. The cost per square foot of framing and trusses was $11 in 2011 and jumped to $16 per square foot in 2013.The reason behind these increases is possibly attributed to rising lumber costs and shortage of professional framers.Framing crews were reportedly hard to come by in 2013.he 2013 construction cost per square foot ($95) also jumped in comparison to 2011, where it was $80 per square foot. Framing and trusses are the largest component of construction costs.
