What the table shows

Finished basements lower the price per square foot. The Ethan Special comes out at $379 per sq ft because its 2,056 sq ft includes the finished basement. Basement space costs less to build than space above grade, so compare like with like.

The detached premium is mostly land. The Joey is $582 per sq ft, against $508 for the Liam. For that you get a 33-foot lot of your own, a yard, no shared walls and a double car garage.

Adding the basement on a detached is the cheapest space on the list. The finished basement option costs $50,000. On the Joey it adds 533 sq ft, a bedroom and a bathroom, which works out to about $94 per added sq ft.

How to decide

  • Start from the monthly payment, not the price. Get a pre-approval and work back to the price range that leaves room for property tax, utilities and savings.
  • Count bedrooms you will use in five years, not only today.
  • Think about who you would sell to later. Townhomes at this price appeal to first-time buyers. Detached homes appeal to families moving up.
  • Look at the lot. Position on the site plan and the lot premium can matter as much as the model.
