I wish no harm to anyone or any business but if we do not see some sort of economic downturn or a crash in the housing market where builders are desperate for work (which is NOT right now) we may not see $200 sq/ft for a long time.
In theory, high prices should draw more (builders) into the market, leading to lower prices. At this point, we are paying people, in a sense, to not work, so they aren't moving to other industries. It's like the gov't paying farmers to not plant so that prices will be artificially high.
