As all know, housing prices have shot up in the last few years. It seems like the cost of labor & materials can't have gone up as fast.

Is it cheaper to build a house than to buy a pre-existing one? Is it difficult to find unused lots around major cities? How much do architects,contractors, etc. cost?

I'm in the market to get my first home soon, and it seems like it would be great to get exactly the layout & features. I want instead of hunting around for an overpriced place that's "almost good enough."

I'm not a handy person, so I don't think I'd want to be my own contractor, or remodel an existing home. If anybody has experiences with getting a home built, I'd love to know what you think the advantages or disadvantages are.
