First off let me say that OP is a faggot.

Listen here dipshit
Houses cost $$ to build. They cost $$ to design. There's a cost associated with building permits. Plans need to be stamped, approved by a licensed engineer, in-order to conform with building code and perform within legal standards of your local jurisdiction. Material and labor are influenced heavily by the region in which you live (ie people building your house in a nicer region will demand a higher wage to contend with local living costs).

Typically homes in the US are built from the ground up (think McMansions and new developments). The new construction will inevitably increase property value.

>Americans have been conditioned to spend small fortunes on shacks made of glued together wood chips and tyvek cardboard.
Americans have no choice but to spend small fortunes on shitty homes. You can blame the economy for that anon. Live in a shitty area if you want a cheap house dipshit.
