3- There is no mention about the land-size, so I am assuming "as small as legally possible", so around 2,800 to 3,200 sq. ft. which is 20% to 40% smaller than comparable homes nearer to Morgan Creek.
Conclusion: based on comps, it's priced correctly.
PSS: Don't forget to negotiate! Free upgrades, etc. in lieu of price decreases if the developer is not budging on the price.

In 2013, it cost me around $550k to build a 3-storey, ~2900 sq foot house in Vancouver. I would say we used "above average" materials/finishings (i.e. not cheap, but not luxury either), and my general contractor (a trusted family member) called in a lot of favours too.
This is excluding the price of the land!

^ $190/ft is definitely on the lower end for new resi construction. People don't realize the cost to build in the GVA these days...

No labour so when you do find someone to do it you're paying out the ass for everything. My parents just finished there house out there and honestly they would have been so much better of just buying something either older or from a developer.
