Are all you guys paying this much for houses????
When I left Boise ID in 2001 you could get new stick construction for $75 sf turn key construction.
Going off straight numbers @75 a sf a 2000sf home is 150K. If you are a modest person I think you can come in close to that.
I just got done doing a basement this last summer. It was 15K for 800sf with extra 2" on wall thickness.
If you are willing to do work yourself, or buy a kit house you can save serious amounts of labor. Look into having someone frame it out and you finish the inside?
