In the US at least we know how many hours it takes to build a home and it's around 300. The average 375k asking price is in no way justified by labor and especially materials which have been crashing.

Mass produced track homes are simple and cheap to build. It is 100% tax breaks, speculation and collusion as to why homes are so expensive.
