You need to mention prices, these homes are still way to much expensive than a small home should cost. Small homes should be about saving money, not being even more expensive than regular ones.
Where are all the affordable homes????? This was all started for people to be able to purchase a hone outright, or in a short amount of time. To NOT have people tied to a mortgage their whole life. This all defeats the purpose of financial freedom. Not slaving your life away for a home.
I like your comment its all true .I'm 76 and with a mortgage I don't work anymore .m on hard time of my life ..Government Should forgive mortgage loans to people are retired with no money saved .its sad ...can't go out No were because Can't afford . been on this Country more than fifty years Government gives me hardly anny thing monthly so sad .. Sorry for my sad expression God Bless❤
I think these tiny houses are kind of a necessity for all classes looking just for a place to live cause of overpopulation and no where to live. And new houses are built very dangerous.
@@MariaAmaral-p4x ASK your angels and guides to help you create what serves you the best. Tell them what your goal is, let them figure out HOW and they will help. They need to be asked to help you. cheers.
I like windows as much as the next guy, but let me tell ya, as someone who's lived in a bunch of ground level studio apartments, having a giant window in the front sucks. Yes, it's lovely to have natural light and a pretty view, but a window looking right in on your primary living and sleeping area is awful unless you somehow have absolutely zero people around. I basically had to keep the blinds/curtains drawn 24/7, which kind of makes the big window worthless.
@@KvltKommando That's why you build your house with ICF blocks and pour concrete in it, there is no better result and insulation than concrete + outside insulation. In general these types of buildings is easy to build yourself. Also look up "ICF Houses Still Standing After Storms".
i am moving to 100 acres in wv. after spending YEARS looking at different options i have settled on the following: 20 by 30. built on 3ft stilts hip roof. all metal with spray on insulation and noise dampening built to hurricane specs all off grid, powered by propane and panels steel girder inner framing so i can have 8 foot glass sliders all way round wrap around deck, not attached to house
Yay! Lloyoll Skali took the top spot in 2023!! I remember when you first talked about it. Blew my mind! Just imagine, never ever having to use exterior or interior paint ever again. There's no paint anywhere. No mess. No upkeep. No paint splattered floors or furniture. The Corten steel siding looks like a Richard Serra sculpture. The deep rust color is gorgeous and blend with nature perfectly. Patina will soften and enrich these homes naturally over time. The layout is incredible. Tall ceilings with a ton of light and real wood burning fireplaces too. Llloyoll makes the best prefab homes I've ever seen. Merry Christmas, everyone!!!
For the price these Lloyoll Skali models are asking, you might be able to purchase a small Richard Serra sculpture for your existing home. Depressing how costly psf prefab modular has become recently. And most of the floorplans are constricted by the limits of transporting the module down a highway. Admittedly this is a very difficult design challenge and one I have direct experience trying to solve, unsuccessfully, using prefab construction tech (really just stick-built at two sites: factory and onsite too). So I switched to using structural steel as portal frames to build a skeleton that I can apply flat panel floors, exterior walls and a commercial concrete roof deck to cover it. This is working for me, YMMV.
Love your videos - so many of these are not available or have a huge wait. Please break down estimated delivery date and if they are actually available now. Too many future options - which is disappointing and still not available. Too many presale who I doubt will actually come to fruition. They show an awesome concept but can't deliver. Please find out how many are available and how many they can deliver.
Many thanks for all the great work and I love how quick and clean your videos are edited - no waiting around for all the important information ! Kudos !
My Prefab Priority List: 1- Kitchen with reliable appliances,solid island (not a table), large pantry for dry goods, good exhaust over burners/cooking area. 2- Kitchen & Living both to have high ceilings. (makes the main area feel larger) 3- Large shower/with waterfall faucet, Floating toilet. (there should be an award for the "Floating Throne") 4- Large glass windows,sliding doors/entrance or exit to medium-large size patio... 5- Washer& dryer, bbq hook up or outdoor grill area, ...outdoor fire pit/round gas fire area/gathering area.
sounds great!. i went in a different directions. take a look at my new posting about 100 acres in wv. after all the coverage of floods and fires and tornadoes, i went for structure over looks.
I really look forward to your videos and dry humor. I think you have the right combination . Thank You again for all content. I could never afford almost all of them but do enjoy the show !! Ps … I always almost remember to like the 👍 button
Happy New Year Kerry. I want to use your videos to educate my local government. We need municipalities to create a "development" with prefabs so that we have affordable possibilities....
Tiny homes will be the new way of life for families in the 25th century and beyond kerry🎉🎉. Once again, you’ve all done yourself for the great show bring it to these great showpieces of tiny homes.
It’s insane to me tiny the window of “Tiny homes are cheap” was. Tiny homes are now the same price as full sized homes were a decade ago. Like what the heck would they charge for an empty 400 square foot box at this point, 50 grand? Lots of temporarily successful tiny home manufacturers out there. The one who figures out how to do it ACTUALLY cheap, and is capable of pushing their business out to create what will essentially be tiny home building franchises, that’s the company that’s going to take the market. We’re about to enter a time in which 50k homes will be in extremely high demand.
Thanks. So many great homes for both style and strength. In FL, I'm always look for the ability to handle strong winds , heavy rains and bug resistant. Hopeful to select my perfect home in 2024. Happy Holidays!
Your passion for modern smallish homes shows in every one of your videos. Thank you for showing so many different options. My style is a 2 story, open floor plan, lots of windows, solar, environmentally-responsible, and MODERN. I do notice that the vast majority of buillders have 1 level units only. Have a great day!.
@@KerryTarnow Thank you for informing all of us about so many interesting homes. I believe homes, built in pieces, are the future. They take less time to build on-site. You are terrific! ha ha I thought you were a california guy but now know you are canadian...
The interior of your number one choice is probably the best interior I’ve seen since I subscribed. Sensational! Another informative and entertaining video… Happy holidays from Memphis, Tennessee.
Outrageous prices for cracker boxes. Oh wow, look at this it's a big box for only 120 k, seriously. I pray that humans are not that crazy . Look at this. That doesn't explain insulation plumbing electrical appliances, so on an on. Oh, my favorite is wow. I love the looks. Looks mean little if the tiny space is unable to live in. Let's see you live in a 500 square foot space with a dog and your significant other 6 months. Then tell us all, "What a fabulous space it is. Your living space can't have a wonderful outdoor fully furnished porch. It must be plain. We can watch you and your better half make do like so many other families. Ok, well ok then. I truly believe you will not even dare. You couldn't handle it.
@@beklandfarm16 I have no idea what your point is, but I can tell you that my husband and l lived in a 400 sf cottage for 14 years. We had 2 dogs and 2 cats and big gardens outside---it was a very happy period in our lives.
These homes are a work of Art which is necessary for many good reasons. Although, small homes are only fit for those who have an interest in small homes and that is more than OK.
Love your top 10 modular prefabricated homes for 2023, I am hoping that you get to visit more factories in 2024 and see more “Try before you buy” setups if our economy holds up😮😮😮
I am looking for this kind of homes, I saw some on Amazon but too little ratings and feedbacks from true customers so make me very skeptical, but I like the affordable prices of these tiny houses. Someone gives some good advices?
I hope Smartpads will deliver to the west eventually, the Leadville 840 has a stylish interior and exterior while being completely functional. I definitely prefer it over the trend of different leveled roofs and giant glass doors into the bedrooms.
I am new to tiny homes, I love watt. But if I had to I could do a 1 bedroom. Thank you for showing me the top 10. You have a merft 11:04 ching videos. I think a 2 bedroom is grea
i enjoy your content. i haven't been watching the last few wks as all these homes are way too expensive for what a person would get in buying one, BUT i do enjoy your vids when i do catch them and i wanted to tell you Merry Christmas and keeep up the great work!
It's just a waste of time unless you are rich and want a plaything for your vacation land. But he doesn't care, he's making good money because people are watching this and dreaming or too stupid to realize they'll never have this
Thank you-- I am very excited to get this project started on the Hudson River in Stony Point New York! You have given great information and made me feel better about overspending in an area that may not support the high price tag.
Another awesome year end video. Thanks and looking forward to more homes from around the world. Love that you show so many options. Have a great Christmas!
I loved the Loyola skali with the cool high loft beds in the cabinet work, and the Blend Garden Suite 600 with the awesome beams . Both have featured natural materials and architectural feel for the structures.
Kerry you rock no matter what. Your vids take much time and effort and I don't see myself or anyone getting off their couch and phone to make videos. Thank you. If you could add a one liner on insulation and appropriateness for these homes to be in heavy snow winter climates or heavy sun and hurricane climates in terms of durability and warmth as well as estimated life span of each if maintained or perhaps methods of maintenece as well as stack ability and or add on ability which you do cover so I'm babbling a little here .... Yet whenever I watch a video what does come to mind is insulation and if these units are both good for winter and snow as well as high sun and winds....like could a tornado lift these? Haha. You're the best KT. Thanks
Manufacturing has come farther in 2023 than ever before regarding prefab homes. I always enjoy your video Kerry. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thank you Kerry! And for a full year too! I’m up in NorCal coast. Tentatively purchasing the property and your channel is a very fine niche! In fact, your channel inspired me to switch gears about purchasing a home! Especially when I’m on a budget in California! Thank you again!!!
Great job sir. Conventional stick framing houses we are being reminded that there's a lot of waste a lot of wasted space. I'm in my mid-60s and a lot of my friends have houses most of the house is empty because their children have moved out. It just makes more sense more efficiency and of course my thing... "Minalismsm".
Happy new year Kerry! We look forward to having you back. We are releasing a “LitePOD” ADU range shortly for the masses with affordability in mind! Stay tuned dude! Great work as always
Wow, my new favorite TH-cam channel! Thanks Kerry for the passion and endless videos. Still trying to get used to the sense of humor, but overall excellent information!
Just when i thought NOTHING could make me laugh at this moment (as I am going through something intense) YOU DID. Better than your best humor that i love was that display of those comments at beginning of this vid... and your take on that second and last one. LOL .. THANK YOU...!!! BEST HUMOR and, BEST COVERAGE OF homes award , i say goes to you. ...i just love your expertise and skills at communicating. Wishing you the best year and more to follow...and hope you had a wonderfilled Christmas. You and all those who are here too watching. As for the homes...I agree they are the best for the year and so much so it would take me much more time to choose my favorite. The top two might be it for me too, but still not sure yet. Would have to watch a few more times to say for sure.
Hi Marian! Glad you were able to get a bit of a chuckle during a tough time. Whatever you’re going through I hope it all works out and you have a lovely 2024. Thank you for the support 🙌🏼
2 br - 1 bath / 500-800 sq. ft. layouts work for me anything smaller gets pretty cramped. A second bedroom or dedicated office / T.V. room to hang out is the perfect setup imo.
Eco-modulaire des sources in Québec Canada is a prefab/modular home manufacturer. Sorry, their site seems to be only in french, but they have so many models it's crazy.
Have you evaluated Deltec Homes? My cousin used this company after their home was destroyed by an earthquake in California in 1994 (Northridge). It's been 30 years, and I love it!
Do you know how the zoning for these work? Can you plop these down in your backyard if the zoning allows ADUs (accessory dwelling units) or are there different rules? These also look like great guest house options. But then again it may be next to impossible to get them in if a house is already in the front even with a crane.
Since I live in FL, do you have a list of the homes thatare built for high winds and heavy rains? I believe I have a list of 3 that I saw on this channel. Thanks
Kerry, why are some $60k, and others similarly sized $150k+? I know build auality and finishing is part of the answer, but I cannot imagine the difference justifying $80-$100k difference
wondering if you have a west coast or close company you like that will work up a custom design and delivers a panel, pre-cut, weather tight house that can be built by 4 or 5 handy people with the inside and utilities finished locally on site.
Merry Christmas, Kerry. I've been following your videos for some time -- and I'm torn between frustration and inspiration. You're a great presenter and your stories are always entertaining. From you I get all kinds of new ideas (thank you) but you're like the mean uncle who dangles candy in front of the family kids and then snatches it away when they reach for it. IOW, WHY do I so often watch introductions of homes I love but cannot buy? How about a video of homes that are available NOW throughout the east coast? Or how about a video of a European company that will not only build the the home, but ALSO ship it and handle delivery to your east coast site -- sort of a one-stop shop. I'm not an international importer who can handle truck-to-shp-to-truck & deliver(!) -- but if some Euro company would offer to do the whole deal, now THAT could be a game changer. Finally, have you ever looked at the HomeDepot building kits that go for about $55k and you build on site?
I think that my #1 choice would be SMARTPADS but I don’t think they operate out of Colorado. Flexibility of design is their superhero strength and I especially like the design featured @ 7:20 in this video. Note garage placement on left of main house to estsblish good FUNG SHUI (healing/healthy clockwise energy spin) for the entire design/house. I was surprised that BOXABL didn’t make your TOP 10 list this year. The Casitas is still my #1 if it wasn’t for the milenial waitlist ha. Happy New Year Bro. Your videos rock. Especially like the video edit of U walking left to right thru various exteriors edit at the beginning of this video. Very awesome. And Your comment about viewer “insightful comments” caught me off guard and was just another example of your whip smart humor shining thru again and again. Cheers💜🐬🏡🎁🎄🎶
Hi there, I just watched this and checked out all of the builders who will deliver to the US. You found a lot of really great floorplans. I'm looking for something with more of a cottage feel to put on a lot with an existing home. It needs a coittage feel to fit in. Any suggestions?? Thank you!
Big fan, Kerry! Thank you for this video. Question: do you know of any companies that create a model that: 1) ships to the East coast; 2) has impact windows; and 3) can comfortably fit a family of 4 (and not just for a holiday)? Thanks so much!
I would love to design homes like this but in the smarter transformative way for less cheaper. I am very passionate about design and architecture and always think about how to design something in a better way with hidden functions. Would love to get into this one day
I like the random comments about your appearance: sunburn, curly or wild hair, standard black shirt. Also, thanks for all the in person tours you did well with those, and I look forward to '24 seeing more coming selections. 🥶🖤🔔👍🏻💓🎄
Great work Terry. Been watching for years. Looking to do 10 houses on my farm with 1800 ft on Sebec River a good Trout River in Maine with west coast vibe, lots of glass, wood and energy efficiency. What can you recommend. I’m located near Dexter Maine. Please reach out to me. Thank you RJ.
If you can try to prioritise the sustainability of these models instead of the look. So when i am browsing these prefab houses, i want to know how much is this house carbon negative, does it even power itself by itself, does it have solar/wind energy or any other kind of sustainable energy?
Kerry, is there a convention that all the manufacturers showcase their latest projects? It would be great to touch and feel multiple manufactures in one space. Any help you can provide would be great!! TY
You need to mention prices, these homes are still way to much expensive than a small home should cost. Small homes should be about saving money, not being even more expensive than regular ones.
I had people in the Mennonite community byild me a cabin 16×24 , for $20,000...unbelievable job they did.. these homes are way too expensive
@@thanksleftcan you post contact info?
I think these do make sense in areas like CA or other expensive locations
Truth
NOT EVERN WORTH IT IN CA @@monkeybearmax
Where are all the affordable homes????? This was all started for people to be able to purchase a hone outright, or in a short amount of time. To NOT have people tied to a mortgage their whole life. This all defeats the purpose of financial freedom. Not slaving your life away for a home.
& a home that is 1/4 the size
Inflation. Biden. Destroyed all of that. Do you want a home or do you want a depreciation on wheels?
I like your comment its all true .I'm 76 and with a mortgage I don't work anymore .m on hard time of my life ..Government
Should forgive mortgage loans to people are retired with no money saved .its sad ...can't go out
No were because
Can't afford . been on this Country more than fifty years Government gives me hardly anny thing monthly so sad ..
Sorry for my sad expression

Get reflective glass windows.
also the heat here in California will turn it into an oven

after spending YEARS looking at different options
i have settled on the following:

all metal with spray on insulation and noise dampening
built to hurricane specs
all off grid, powered by propane and panels
steel girder inner framing so i can have 8 foot glass sliders all way round

Not if they cost as much as a normal house. Most of these are way overpriced for the sq ft. The aux at over 250k is nutz
As others said they are over priced for the square foot. people that want luxury arent buying a tiny home their buying a 5000sqft+ luxury house

i would LOVE to see top 10 in ground/earth contact/hobbit homes. i need to do a 20 house community of such homes next year in the east Smokeys
that's a great idea
I helped to build someone else's straw bale home a few years ago.
Just a thought as they have a great R value and not too pricey. Cheers.
Great video. All the best in one place.
thanks!
Wow, my new favorite TH-cam channel! Thanks Kerry for the passion and endless videos. Still trying to get used to the sense of humor, but overall excellent information!
Awesome! Thanks for watching 😃
Love your content and your sense of humor. 😊
thanks!
Thanks for the share Kerry.
Thanks for watching
Just when i thought NOTHING could make me laugh at this moment (as I am going through something intense) YOU DID. Better than your best humor that i love was that display of those comments at beginning of this vid... and your take on that second and last one. LOL .. THANK YOU...!!! BEST HUMOR and, BEST COVERAGE OF homes award , i say goes to you. ...i just love your expertise and skills at communicating. Wishing you the best year and more to follow...and hope you had a wonderfilled Christmas. You and all those who are here too watching.
As for the homes...I agree they are the best for the year and so much so it would take me much more time to choose my favorite. The top two might be it for me too, but still not sure yet. Would have to watch a few more times to say for sure.
Hi Marian! Glad you were able to get a bit of a chuckle during a tough time. Whatever you’re going through I hope it all works out and you have a lovely 2024. Thank you for the support 🙌🏼
Thank you for your informative videos, Kerry. Happy new year!
Same to you!
Can you find some great deal prefab houses near south of USA ,like Florida. THANKS.
Will see what I can find!
2 br - 1 bath / 500-800 sq. ft. layouts work for me anything smaller gets pretty cramped. A second bedroom or dedicated office / T.V. room to hang out is the perfect setup imo.
Yeah that is a nice size. Im in a studio now and its a bit cramped
Merry Christmas Kerry and all the viewers!
Same to you!
Eco-modulaire des sources in Québec Canada is a prefab/modular home manufacturer. Sorry, their site seems to be only in french, but they have so many models it's crazy.
Great choices for the top 10 ! 👍
Thanks!
Great top 10.
Merry Christmas Kerry.
May the new year bring you continued success. 🧑🎄
Thanks Billy! Merry Christmas
Have you evaluated Deltec Homes? My cousin used this company after their home was destroyed by an earthquake in California in 1994 (Northridge). It's been 30 years, and I love it!
keep up the great work!! These homes are so much more compelling than the mass produced single family homes going up in WA/OR these days!
Thank you! Will do!
Do you know how the zoning for these work? Can you plop these down in your backyard if the zoning allows ADUs (accessory dwelling units) or are there different rules? These also look like great guest house options. But then again it may be next to impossible to get them in if a house is already in the front even with a crane.
Since I live in FL, do you have a list of the homes thatare built for high winds and heavy rains?
I believe I have a list of 3 that I saw on this channel.
Thanks
I dont have a list but thats a great idea
Merry Christmas and have a happy new year kerry tarnow
Same to you Dennis!
Thanks!
Thanks Roy! Greatly appreciated 🙌🏼
Kerry, why are some $60k, and others similarly sized $150k+?
I know build auality and finishing is part of the answer, but I cannot imagine the difference justifying $80-$100k difference
wondering if you have a west coast or close company you like that will work up a custom design and delivers a panel, pre-cut, weather tight house that can be built by 4 or 5 handy people with the inside and utilities finished locally on site.
Thanks for sharing!Happy holidays and please keep us posted 🙌🏾
will do! happy holidays!
Orca? Wonder if they are on Orca Island? My aunt and uncle lived on Orca island. The Tuells. Thank you for showing the homes.
They're on Vancouver Island
Merry Christmas, Kerry. I've been following your videos for some time -- and I'm torn between frustration and inspiration. You're a great presenter and your stories are always entertaining. From you I get all kinds of new ideas (thank you) but you're like the mean uncle who dangles candy in front of the family kids and then snatches it away when they reach for it. IOW, WHY do I so often watch introductions of homes I love but cannot buy? How about a video of homes that are available NOW throughout the east coast? Or how about a video of a European company that will not only build the the home, but ALSO ship it and handle delivery to your east coast site -- sort of a one-stop shop. I'm not an international importer who can handle truck-to-shp-to-truck & deliver(!) -- but if some Euro company would offer to do the whole deal, now THAT could be a game changer. Finally, have you ever looked at the HomeDepot building kits that go for about $55k and you build on site?
Thank you for this video Kerry! Merry Christmas ❤
My pleasure, Merry Christmas
Great selection again. Thabks and Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas 🎄
I have been looking into prefabs. Great video and a lot of info. Good job!!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful
Merry Christmas Kerry ~ very nice homes here.
Same to you! Thanks for watching
I think that my #1 choice would be SMARTPADS but I don’t think they operate out of Colorado. Flexibility of design is their superhero strength and I especially like the design featured @ 7:20 in this video. Note garage placement on left of main house to estsblish good FUNG SHUI (healing/healthy clockwise energy spin) for the entire design/house.
I was surprised that BOXABL didn’t make your TOP 10 list this year. The Casitas is still my #1 if it wasn’t for the milenial waitlist ha. Happy New Year Bro. Your videos rock. Especially like the video edit of U walking left to right thru various exteriors edit at the beginning of this video. Very awesome. And Your comment about viewer “insightful comments” caught me off guard and was just another example of your whip smart humor shining thru again and again. Cheers💜🐬🏡🎁🎄🎶
Hi there, I just watched this and checked out all of the builders who will deliver to the US. You found a lot of really great floorplans. I'm looking for something with more of a cottage feel to put on a lot with an existing home. It needs a coittage feel to fit in. Any suggestions?? Thank you!
The LOYAL pre fabs build..HOLY SHIT that’s so sick .. love that one
Big fan, Kerry! Thank you for this video. Question: do you know of any companies that create a model that: 1) ships to the East coast; 2) has impact windows; and 3) can comfortably fit a family of 4 (and not just for a holiday)? Thanks so much!
I would love to design homes like this but in the smarter transformative way for less cheaper. I am very passionate about design and architecture and always think about how to design something in a better way with hidden functions. Would love to get into this one day
do you have any suggestions for companies that are based or ship to the East coast? 2 to 3 bedrooms, bulit for all 4 seasons.
Can you list pricing for all models that you like as well?
Kerry, I love your videos. I watch them even though I am not looking for a home.
Awesome! Glad to hear that
I like the random comments about your appearance: sunburn, curly or wild hair, standard black shirt. Also, thanks for all the in person tours you did well with those, and I look forward to '24 seeing more coming selections.
🥶🖤🔔👍🏻💓🎄
Yeah the comments are hilarious 😂. Lots more in person vids planned for 2024! Thanks for watching 😃
wished there was more options like these in Canada, all we get are generic designs for easy build...
Thank you for creating this content! What prefab would you recommend for a 2 beds 2 baths with garage in CA?
Ok Kerry, you have seen hundreds of Prefabs now so if you had to design a prefab for you what would it look like inside and out?
Prices...prices...prices please...very important.
Kerry, great top 10. Could you put the links to these below?
Merry Christmas. Kerry how do I get one or two prefab to my land in the Caribbean?
Keu is in the process of delivering 2 homes to Puerto Rico right now, they would be an option
Hello. Have any of the manufacturers released a fully wheelchair accessible prefab home? free of steps and with wider doors?
Most will build to suit
Great lineup, Kerry. Merry Christmas, dude. Looking forward to what you come up with next year. 🎉
Thanks Julie! Merry Christmas
We are in Wisconsin and finding prefabs that dont look like trailors seems impossible. Any midwest companies you know would be welcome. Thanks
Great work Terry. Been watching for years. Looking to do 10 houses on my farm with 1800 ft on Sebec River a good Trout River in Maine with west coast vibe, lots of glass, wood and energy efficiency. What can you recommend. I’m located near Dexter Maine. Please reach out to me. Thank you RJ.
If you can try to prioritise the sustainability of these models instead of the look. So when i am browsing these prefab houses, i want to know how much is this house carbon negative, does it even power itself by itself, does it have solar/wind energy or any other kind of sustainable energy?
that's a great idea
Kerry, is there a convention that all the manufacturers showcase their latest projects? It would be great to touch and feel multiple manufactures in one space. Any help you can provide would be great!! TY
A few go to IBS in Vegas, it’s in late Feb this year. I don’t know of a big show that has a bunch showcasing. If you hear of one let me know!
How about the top 5 below 150k? Or the least expensive with bathrooms? Like that people could actually purchase?
Have that planned!
Looking Forward
to that ! 😅😊
Happy new year Kerry!
same to you!
Zennihome and Ilumhouse are great companies. They could comfortably sit in the top three.
Thats true!
In creating your top 10 list did you include Nestron and it didn't compete with these other 10 home builders or it was not considered?
Hello Kerry love your channel. Thank you. Do you know of any prefab homes that ship to South Africa?
Thank you! No I dont know of any that ship to South Africa
Is there any prefab homes that people in Michigan can buy? Something that is cool looking and built well.
$300k for an 800sq ft home is absolutely insane
Take a look at the market ...no its not 😂
