It depends, to

some extent on where you live or if you are building

on a Golf course where the lot price will kill you! The average can be anywhere from $80 a square foot to $300. I'd plan on around $125. Also, it is always cheaper to build UP instead of OUT. So a 2 story house with 4 bedrooms will cost less than an ranch with 4 bedrooms. But - you need room for a staircase which takes away square feet. Open concept main floors help give you more functional space in smaller area. If you are going to have a basement, and can get a lot with walkout - make the basement ceilings higher, and with enough exposed walls you can put in full sized windows and create the same feeling you have on the main or upper floors. It is one way to make the bedrooms larger; having only three up and one down, or 2 up, 2 down. Only difference is finished basements don't give you much return or count as total square footage.

Bottom line is not how many bedrooms you want, it is how much square footage you can afford, what kind of finishes you want, lot location. If you are in a cold climate, plan on addressing issues of warmth in basement. And if you have a second story bedroom over the garage, it will be ice cold without a lot of extra insulation.

I think you can remodel and existing house, even build on a bit, for about half the square foot cost. Consider that alternative.

Well, it really depends how big the house is. Today the building price in America is 100 dollars per square foot, and for a four bedroom house you need at least 2000 square feet (for small bedrooms. It also depends on if you want upgrades, like woo floors instead of carpet, or granite instead of laminate, so all together, as long as you have a lot, you are looking at about 225,000 or more.
