Builder is NOT screwing this guy. Houses are up five digits. He is being totally legit.

[richard]

this situation sucks for everyone, I dont blame the contractor for raising the price.

[Coananlover]

For once the contractor isn't screwing their customers. Material costs really are skyrocketing right now.

[ChadZeluff]

Bless Dave for sticking up for the contractor on this one. Caller would be unhappy with all home prices, whether he's building new or not.

[truckingwithtobee]

This guy needs to open his eyes to what’s happening around him🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[ladysparkle]

I’m paying off my mortgage this week then I’m 100% debt free!!!! Thank you Heavenly Father for answering my prayers and blessing me abundantly.

[Adrian--A]

He is about to learn the hard way that leaving this deal isn't going to make getting a house somewhere else any easier.

[joesillamanrs]

If he’s going to be that tight. He won’t be getting a house for awhile

[ImOnAnEffinBoat]

Contractor isn't raising prices, the material inflation is. Stimulus is. Printing money is. General inflation is.

[NN-ixku]

I am in the construction industry. This is happening and the caller is not getting ripped off.

[maryjane-vxdd]

A lot of contractors around here won't even bid on a job if they can't buy supplies up front. Wood is going up so fast they will loose money.

[zevlove]

10k is a very small increase in the bigger scheme of things especially having spent hours and hours researching homes and finding ideal home...

[mjmorden]

A Ten thousand fluctuation on a 300k plus deal is nothing to get this worked up about. He is just not ready to be a home owner yet, period.

[davidking]

Wait until this guy tries to buy another house down the road a bit, it will even be more money and what will eat at him is that he should have gone through on the first house.

[newdeal_]

its 10 grand on a 300k house that seems like a drop in the bucket

[KK-tksk]

Ten years from now when the guy sees what houses cost he won't get over the fact that he bailed over a 3-5% increase.

[SalisburySnake]

"10 years from now is this all you're going to be thinking about?"

I guarantee it is, because he's going to pay $425k for a house he could have had for $325k but he blew it over $12k in lumber. :D

[GApeech]

I knew I was blessed, but I didnt know how much. Thank you heavenly Father and Lord Jesus that I closed 12/29/20.

[cherokeet-shirtco.]

We're contractors & we are not currently bidding remodels, additions or new construction because our distributors flat refuse to lock in prices & in many cases can't guarantee enough stock for us to preorder framing packages. In our area most materials are up to nearly double, more on some items.

[gregoriomurtagian]

Inflation is here. Printing money does have consequences
