How we compared
- Every number comes from the models each builder lists in the Structofy directory, recalculated when the page loads. Nothing on this page is paid placement.
- Prices are builders' listed starting prices for the home itself. Listings without a price (or with a placeholder under $1,000) are left out of price figures. Land, foundation, delivery, setup and permits are usually extra.
- Price per sq ft uses only models that list both a price and a size of at least 80 sq ft. Home types use the builder's own label, with ADU and HUD-code rules shared with our hubs.
- "Which is right for you" points are generated from these numbers only. We do not rate or review builders, and this page does not measure quality, service or warranties.
