I a contributed to growing housing crisis editors note this article the third in a five part series from the a special assignment team examines what s behind the upward spiral in House prices. By Dick Barnes associated press writer san Francisco apr six years ago you could build a three bedroom House in Northern California for $14,854. Today the same House would Cost you $21,509 to construct. That san increase of 46 per1 cent in six years and the prices done to even include buying a lot to put your House on. You a find that among 36 categories of work going into the Houfe the Only two that did t crease in Price since 1964 were plans and specifications and preliminary lot work both expenses. Plumbing up 63 per cent. Rough carpentry labor up 52 per cent. Linoleum boors up 43 per cent. Cabinets up 112 per cent the biggest increase of any category. These figures come from Bank of America of san Francisco which periodically submits for construction bids what it Calls a a a my drum Quality dwelling a a three bedroom 2-Bath, 1,395-Square foot House with family room. They reflect the National spiral in building costs which has contributed to the growing . Housing crisis along with tight Money rising land costs and a Bevy of Public and private constraints. Bank of America figures pinpoint some of the reasons for rising Home prices a roofing material and labor $705 in Early 1964 to $1,151. A electric wiring $613 to $1.,1 0o. Painting $640 to $919. A sewer line and connection $218 to $350 amidst these rising costs no aspect seems More confused or contradictory than the Price of labor. Construction Are shooting up so fast that a Southern California Carpenter for example is in the midst of receiving a 39 per cent pay increase Over four , yet a study by the National association of Home builders nah shows that Over a 20-year Span the coat of labor has declined from one third of a houses Price to less than one fifth. Because the actual once of the a average House used in the Survey increased from $9.780 to $20,534, the Dollar coat of the labor increased from $3,227 to $3.6%, though the percentage declined. Builders overhead and profit was 15 per cent or $1.467 in 1949, and 13 per cent or $2,669 in 1969. Land nearly doubled from 11 per cent to 21 per cent which meant a quadrupling in terms of actual dollars from $1,076 to $4,3.12. Financing costs went from 5 to 10 per cent another quadrupling from $489 to $2,053 building materials increased from 36 per cent of the 1949 houses Cost $3,521 to 38 per cent $7,808 in 1966.
