When I was researching it, it really did seem like it's close to a break even scenario when compared to moving.

If you are selling a $500,000 place you have well over $20,000 out the door on realtor/lawyer/moving costs. Often easily $25,000. That gives adding on a nice little head start.
You'll probably need a foundation of at least grade beams, to get under the frost line.

Pricing? it depends on how much you do yourself, and how much change there is to the more expensive systems (mechanical & electrical)
