Building a house costs from $125.00 to $175.00 per square foot depending on the features and other things you want such as upgraded cabinets and bathroom features etc.
So for $125.00 per square foot it would cost $312,500.00 to build a 2500 square foot home and for a $175.00 per square foot the home would cost $437,500.00 to build the 2500 square foot home.
Home costs can vary but it's still very expensive to build a new home today.
