One of my neighbors in Houston decided that NC was the place to retire and he chose the Durham area.
He settled on a neighborhood and signed a contract and funded money on a custom home. This was about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday he called and the builder said he can't build the house for the agreed price. Cost of lumber went up 20% in the past month. On a $780K house, he wants $50K more to cover the costs. House to be completed in a year.
