It has become an over-used term, but anyone who's been through the construction process knows how expensive the "you gotta live somewhere while it's under construction" factor is...especially when a homebuilding project is plagued by delays. I would like to add that because so much of the home is complete by the time it is set on the foundation, a lot of otherwise "uncontrollable" delays inherent in stick building are also avoided; not all, but many.

The phrase means something in a vacuum, but when you factor in land costs and carry, time literally means money.
