Are house prices much less in the south due to there being no heating and insulation along with all the heat ducts and whatnot that is required when a house has a central furnace for heat like nearly every house up north? I would think that would reduce the cost of home building significantly
It's a factor, but not much. In Florida for example you might not have a furnace, but you have two air conditioners. Ducting is needed for either heating or cooling.
I have two central heaters and two central air conditioners LoL
I have always heard that you can get a lot more home for the same amount of money in Texas.
That may be part of the reason why. Though I know that home prices are much less here up north than anywhere I have ever looked in the south USA
