I agree. I built my own home using a general contractor. There are plenty of ways to spend lots of money on upgrades. Stucco versus vinyl siding. Pella designer series aluminum clad wood windows with blinds between the glass versus vinyl windows. Radiant floor hot water heating and dual zone a/c versus a heat pump. Fancy tile work versus vinyl flooring. When you look at things like ceiling fans they can range from $50 to $1000. Believe me, you can find all kinds of ways to make a house more expensive and it can add up really fast.
