First one to make an actual $15k 250 sq ft house will change the world drastically for millions of people! We're inching closer and closer. Great work with your videos.
It better happen soon!! It's sick that the world's richest people are more interested in getting other rich people into space than creating companies to do this exact thing!!! Somebody better do it soon! Too many respectable, hardworking citizens can no longer afford to live!
Just my thoughts: Cost of prefab home + transport + land + permits + foundation + installation may equal buying a pre-existing home in many areas. You can not put a prefab home in some areas. If you want to live in a city, incorporated town or the average burbs the chances of this being allowed is very low. In less regulated areas that are more receptive you may have to put in your own utilities. That can be up to 30k. At this time I think these types of tiny homes are better suited to a trailer park, or tiny home, community where you can rent a plot to put it on.
Hi Shirley, I have dealt with many of the City limit codes you refer to. However, there are some modular companies that manufacture homes that meet or exceed stick built home codes. I like the idea that my new built home isnt getting rained into when the carpenters don't show up!
@@a.michelle343 . By law they have to meet those codes. However, manufactured homes are not allowed in many places I mentioned. Add you must meet certain square footage requirements and they aren't allowed in many places.
In California, this is not only legal, it is extremely common. I was in Culver city a few weeks ago, and almost every home has an ADU (additional living unit) behind it. It was explained to me that ADUs often allow elderly parents or young adults to live on the same property as their families while maintaining their independence.
@@stevepolakof9484 . I live in a suburb outside New Orleans. In the metro New Orleans area unless the area is zoned for more than one residence you can't have more than one unit/house on that lot. Then there are other regulations like what you can put on that size of lot, size of extra build and distance of building from property line and other structures. You'd also have to meet certain codes for electricity, plumbing and sewage. In my area I don't see this being allowed anyplace except a trailer park. You'd have to go to surrounding unincorporated (country) areas for less regulation.
Thanks for showing us this, but what smells like a bargain in California doesn't in many parts of the country. These still cost over two hundred dollars per square foot, which brings up the idea that what looks cool isn't affordable, and what is affordable is in no way easy on the eyes. You'd think that if it's so damn much cheaper to use some of these new technologies, that these two factors would eventually come together. Let us know when that price gets down to fifty dollars a square foot. That would be something that beats the system.
I have to say I’m so excited to see people LIVING IN THESE. It feels like I have waited forever. I just want to see more people making videos about their homes, their experiences, and how living in an affordable home has changed their lives. And the solutions they have figured out for storage and utilizing space.
Dear Kerry, You have a 10 cool factor, are easily movable within the market, and your TH-cam channel is priced just right. Add extra kudos for your calm, and your straight forward takes on products that your research enables you to present with truth and honesty. I'm a fan. Thank you and I'm right there with you watching this cool housing evolution take place.
I really do hope that printed / manufactured homes come down in price since by the time you get the foundation and services built in, the prices of them are a bit more expensive than buying what is currently on the market.
Buying those types of home is like doing a budget for a movie, the movie cost 100 million to make and most of them cost another 100 million to promote, so you dont need 110 million to make a profit, you need 220 million!!!
Yep I’ve seen big 3 bedroom home with lots of space for $130,000. But they use cement and the use the dirt from the land they are building on. This is way over priced for a very small place. Now the bed is really cool
@@tricillagirl7915 This is obviously priced for the Los Angeles market. I bought a lovely 1,000sqft house in a nice Midwest suburb for just over $100,000. These prices don't include the land, etc.
The government of Canada should partner with CMHC and this manufacturer to open a Canadian facility to pump out these Iris models the way cars can be built... Hundreds of Thousands at a time! Yes the demand and size for this unit is that extreme. I know this is EXACTLY the model/size I want to own as I'm away from home at least half the time for work anyway... I just need a home base between projects and this is ideal! Surely I can't be the only one!
In Canada though surely you have the same issue I have in Alaska... that is, I have not seen any specs on how cold a climate these are built for, and how much snow load can it take? Northern locations have unique conditions; condensation in Winter may also be a problem.
I loved the car-penter joke. Comedic timing and talent are transferable skills I'm case your present gig goes the way of Blockbusters. Oh, yeah, love the practical content also. I'm hoping to find a Canadian company for a project in the next 2 to 3 years. But the European market has awesome products generally speaking. You're doing a great job! I look forward to each new post.
You have put out so many videos about small houses and affordable houses, with everything you have seen what are the top 5 you would personally recommend based off of space and affordability below 75k?
It's time to consider a comparison between 3D-printed housing units like these and house-trailers, modulars and other double-wides that offer similar features. Living in a rural area in a northern state, I would also wonder about energy efficiency and if it would be possible to build a residential home project like this with a traditional basement underneath (either 4-foot-deep crawlspace or full 8-foot basement for living space and/or storage).
These are really cool and the bed going up in the air is a great use of space. I saw a tiny house designed this way, with the bed over the living area. She could lounge on the couch, or lower the bed and sleep there. I look forward to hearing more about the construction, particularly the level of insulation for cold climates.
Thanks, Kerry, have been very interested in Azure. And I don’t think we want to do away with the middleman - with all the options, need ya more! Maybe not so much to buy from across the industry & sell retail (there will be a used market down the line as well), but to tame the customization for buyers maybe with payouts from both the manufacturers to reach a wider audience as well as buyers to get a best fit plus delivery/setup assurance. I certainly appreciate your efforts now.
Kerry congrats on getting an in on pricing before anyone else! I really love this company. At least the homes and what I van see. THIS IS THE pricing that is going to allow people to get creative, add ADU’s so multi generational families can live together, so people can save and travel or buy a another home or a bigger home, and to rent a small but NICE HOUSE. Living affordably shouldn’t be ugly. Studies show depression and anxiety is linked to how your home looks and clutter etc. if we want people to have an affordable option to stay in so they can go to school better their lives or travel or save up for a retirement account THIS IS THE WAY.
You are absolutely correct, I think affordable housing is not always affordable. I am disabled on ssd so I worked diligently to improve my credit score for 2 years. I was looking into a $20,000 tiny home. The builder made these homes for towns and cities to purchase to help homeless people get back on their feet and for people who have low incomes. Because I only make a little over 20,000 a year I can't get a personal loan, rv loan and I have no one who could cosign. Even the loans for bad credit denied me even though my score was higher than they required. I figured I could afford comfortably $900 a month but that would include the lot rent of $200. Plus the government will give me a mortgage thru fha/usda for approximately $150,000.00 but no one will lend me $20,000.00. This is crazy!!
So the one issue I have is that these are ADUs which require a main house to begin with. Or am I missing a piece here(where you can somehow set up the main utilities and have this as a main residence)?
The Boxabl Casita @375sqft for $49,000 is $130/sqft. The Azure's lineup is $220/sqft. So you get to pay nearly twice as much because it's 3D-printed plastic?
Kerry I'm a retired senior with 1.1 acre of land outside LA (Stallion Springs) and I thought your comment about only seeing floor plans could change - I like the Azure and have the land - if you can broker the sale, 1.10 acre is enough space to record beginning to end a project you did in CA - Culver City is not that far from the property - I'm on fixed income but live within my means as limited as it is - you need a 'project' and I need a dwelling on my land so I can return to CA - financing needed.
These are affordable! I like the two bedroom model, and I can't wait to visit their website to check them out, thanks for keeping us informed about the options! Great video.👍
@@JBeck2468 I don't work for the company, I just looked on the website cuz I don't want people thinking the 39k is for the 2 bedroom, that's fairy tale land in today's economy.
I guess I should have qualified my comment by saying "affordable in comparison" to some of the others that have been featured on this channel, the $200,000 home was affordable, by comparison.
Hi Kerry! My partner and I love your videos. We are in the market and have learned so much from them. I was talking to Roy Kim at Azure Printed Homes in Los Angeles about you, and we agreed that you need to come visit the new offices. Hope to see you sometime this year! Leo
You have been covering so many prefab videos. I'm so thankful. I'm thinking about creating small 1 person (maybe 10-15) community of prefab houses in my property. Since you done so many I want to ask if you were to create what would be your first second third choices of smallest prefabs. This is just research purposes.
You had me... right up to the point where I saw $199,900. Ouch. The cheaper unit at $39,900 seems affordable, but heck, you could buy a lot of 2x4's and 2x8's for forty grand. I think I'll wait a few more years for prices to come down even further. Good video, thank you.
Allowing for the currency conversion rates, you can buy an all year round prefab house or mobile home (you might call them trailer homes, not certain) here complete with central heating and double glazing, up to three bedrooms and two bathrooms for under $100,000. We currently live in one, which is 480sqft and is a three bed (40' x 12') with double glazing and gas fired central heating which has been lived in all year round for the past 15 years (we currently rent it but the owners lived in it with their growing family while they built a house) while their eldest son and daughter-in-law live in a new 2 bed 360sqft one - again all year round with gas fired central heating and double glazing - just behind us. All connected to mains sewage, electricity and water using bottled gas and all much much cheaper than the tiny houses you are showing here although the layouts are much the same. We are in Ireland so need something which will take below zero temperatures (below 32F) and these will. I suspect in many places the same restrictions would apply as for the ''mobile homes'' on the property where I live, namely that they must be fully ''mobile'' but up to building specs as well, and outside of the US - and the need for housing is desperate all over the world and rental prices are beyond the pockets of many people even if you can find somewhere that would allow you to site them on a property (again, many counties won't allow prefab houses) making them them unsuitable for many countries outside of parts of the US.
Part of the affordable housing problem is land. Where are you going to buy land to put a small home on? Then there's lack of infrastructure. Roads, sewage, water and electricity cost money. By the time you buy a 2 bedroom $200k pod, land, pay for installation and amenities, you've spent 300k or more. Until developers start designing entire communities for pod homes, it just doesn't seem an affordable option. Struggling towns and cities should invest in faster internet. Then rehab homes in less than desirable areas by offering various kinds of incentives to buyers or investors. Revitalization of existing communities might be a good place to start especially for younger people who can't even afford rent let alone buy a house.
This video cracked me up a lot. Firstly, Car-penter. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Then I still print in black & white. Me too. 😁 Plus I worked at blockbuster for 10 years. 😝😂😂😂. Great video. Thanks for posting it. 😎
This looks very doable for the average homeowner looking for a quick/affordable ADU. BUT, the big questions is how does the company plan to get these units into the typical suburban backyard? The typical SO. CAL suburban home has very little room on the sides all due to strict building codes that pack homes really tight next to each other. Kerry, when you do talk to them face to face, PLEASE find out how this can be done.
The azure homes are a cool idea! I have some questions. Is this home earthquake resistant, could it handle a big earthquake? Longevity, how long is it expected to last? Wind, can it handle a hurricane! What is the warranty for this home? I like it, but I’m more concerned about quality, then how many homes they can mass produce, cheap. 👍🏻😊
Thanks for the video. These look pretty cool. I am looking forward to your in-person tour of these! I could be wrong, but I think the 180 sq. ft. model is smaller than the Boxable Casita? I wonder if these come with all the appliances and stuff the Casita comes with?🤔
I only paid $15,500 for my used site built home that is three bedroom two bath one car garage detached at approximately 1300 ft and my property taxes are less than $300 per year. I would love to live in one of the homes that you featured in this video but there's none that compares to what I already have. I purchased my existing home in 2019.
My Grandfather would smash me in the face 😆 if I spent $40,000 on a tiny trendy box 😂. With that said , GRATITUDE for your bringing this to our Attention. Outside of Asia, I feel most Americans would go bonkers living full time in such a Box but 6 months out of the year , it would be pretty bitchin just for the cool factor and the challenge … Definitely encourages folks up stay trim …
I know this is really pushing it but I live on a fixed income in Vietnam. Are there any prefab homes available in the $20,000 range and what would it cost to ship it to Vietnam?
New subscriber (as of today). Wondering how difficult it would be to do a segment on affordable, 2 bedroom prefabs that would survive the harsh conditions of Alaska (hello from Alaska). I'm not in the market yet, but very curious since most dwellings are of course pictured in great dry, warm, vacation-like climates unlike our 4ft snowdrifts on top of the roofs and temps reaching -30*F (rendering solar only available in summer, structural integrity a must, and of course insulation factors). U sir, ROCK!
Traditional construction still available in my area for $200,000 and under, including the land. The studio may be okay for a vacation home or senior assisted living.
@@KerryTarnow I'll just say midwest small cities and surrounding towns to avoid any rush to get here. And yes, there are people from many socio-economic backgrounds living together in my area as in other parts of the world. The internet is a great equalizer, where you can live anywhere today and have 98% of the world's knowledge in your smartphone. Everyone is learning by seeing constant clips of one another outside of the mainstream media (MSM). Woe to the political secrecy of the past, on all sides.
I miss your manufactured home market updates and with all the economical changes…..do you think there prices will decrease? If so, what kind of time frame? If no, what are your thoughts?
Hi Sheri, I actually had someone else ask this same question today. I haven’t had any indication of a decrease from my factory yet but I could ask sniff around a bit and see what I can find out. Thank you
These are totally bitchin'! i love the recycled plastic polymer origins of these printable homes...U always provide up to date info and give us "Just the facts ma'am." Keep up the great and tireless work, you sir are a rock star in the world of tiny domiciles!
Interesting to still see people questioning the value propositions between site-built and factory-built homes. I understand it's easy to make a comparison to, essentially, trailer homes that are cheap and plentiful. It's essentially important to understand these homes - printed, modular, container, etc. - are almost all CAD designed making the most of the design and engineering, are built indoors in the very best of conditions, use (largely) better and friendlier materials, and incorporate much more contemporary features and comfort. Of course, they will become less expensive than they are now, but in most cases they are - in the long run - less expensive and much more durable than stick-builts. An inside builders' "joke" is what we get in a track-housing development, in all it's Craftsman glory, is a 20-year house. That's because they will barely last 20 years - or about 10 years shy of a typical mortgage. These are ALL over the US and are the subject of many lawsuits. Would I take better quality, modern features, reduced impact, and lose some square footage to avoid the crap built today? What do you think?
still easily double what it would cost to build on site. No insulation statements. In our area anything less than 700 sqft in not habitable for the entire year so you don't see tiny houses. If I owned more than 40 acres then I can put something like this without all of the special permitting processes. Looks nice and I like the idea just have to have the city, county and state governments get on board
I don't view a 2 bedroom 900 SF home for 200K as affordable. You can build a double wide modular home for 50K less and more space. The tiny homes I could understand. Nice video
Can you get regular home insurance for these new prefab home. It seems unlikely given there is no stats on how long they will last. What if they leak? who will repair? cool but to much right now to risk.
@@KerryTarnow great content and information. After watching your channel a few times, broaden the market for me and helped my research for my own property I am looking to expand.
A car-penter ? I realize that space is limited but I think a two/three bedrooms with two bathrooms would be desirable for many. I could see myself in any of the units shown. Great job! I will wait for a follow up video.
WOW! HAWAI'I HERE!! WONDER IF THEY WOULD SELL THE PLANS? I HAVE A CMC/PRINTER MACHINE ACCESS IN TOWN ... PRINT ON THE WEEKND ... DRIVE TO SITE(OCEAN FRONT!!) AND DROP IT! OR, DO YOU THINK THEY CAN SHIP ... LIKE ON A SHIP? ID HAVE LOVED TO SEE AN ARTISTS RENDERING OF EACH MODEL, AS EACH FLOORPLAN SEEMED TO HAVE FEW WINDOWS!
Very attractive homes. I am just not feeling trustful of a bed being stored at the top of the ceiling. The kitchen is way to small for me. I think these homes are great for people on the go that mostly eat from restaurants. The homes are not family friendly at all. Love the shape and the wood look on the outside.
I want to buy a little piece of property and put a little place On it. What do you think about buying 10 x 18 wood at $90 A sq foot. and put it together then hire someone to do the electrical (This is for a small tiny home) then hire someone to put the toilet in. Do it as you go. If the lender turns you down. The people with no or maybe just one bad credit they have all the money because they don't have bills. I haven't applied yet. I have no credit and one $500 collection in dispute. I pay almost 900 a month now for a nothing small apt Alleays paid on time. Then those calculators say I qualify for $500 a month loan. Does that make since.
@@OurMackeyAndDottieShow i live in NC and it is so hard to find out if you're allowed to have prefabs. It took me months to get someone at the housing department to tell me there was no minimum size limit for homes. The website was a waste of time. I guess a builder or contractor is my next phone call. Hopefully they give me the correct information
Most places INSIDE city limits ties your hands and your freedoms in a million different ways. Buying a lot not in subdivision you can useually do whatever you want...certain states have general building codes, but most of these modulars meet or exceed them. These new guys arn't stupid
Thanks so much for all the info. It would also be helpful if you could include the exterior dimensions (length and width) of all the models that you cover-
I live in Norway and we have a hard climate so I wonder how many of these prefab homes that can be used without doing any extra isolation. I don't think there are many of those.
I kinda agree with Conan's finger-dance, wave thing.. But what else are you gonna get realistically for that price?? thinner and thinner options, that's what !! it's scary to think about that a lot of people will be forever living in tin trailers until those run out and what's "affordable" now skyrockets us all into annihilation
Not really into plastic as it affects the hormones from its offgassing. How about an air quality test once a new home is made to check the toxins in the air? May take a year to offgas.
First one to make an actual $15k 250 sq ft house will change the world drastically for millions of people! We're inching closer and closer. Great work with your videos.

Honestly yeah this would be about the perfect price point for that if you could also keep delivery & assembly under $1k.

Hi Kerry! My partner and I love your videos. We are in the market and have learned so much from them. I was talking to Roy Kim at Azure Printed Homes in Los Angeles about you, and we agreed that you need to come visit the new offices. Hope to see you sometime this year! Leo
Hey Leo, hopefully soon!
You have been covering so many prefab videos. I'm so thankful. I'm thinking about creating small 1 person (maybe 10-15) community of prefab houses in my property. Since you done so many I want to ask if you were to create what would be your first second third choices of smallest prefabs. This is just research purposes.
Truly amazing. This evolved 3D manufacturing is just stunning. Thank you for the lead.
No problem! Thanks for watching
Great jobs always this is a really exciting tiny home company. Thank you for your hard worksnd smooth programs.
You had me... right up to the point where I saw $199,900. Ouch. The cheaper unit at $39,900 seems affordable, but heck, you could buy a lot of 2x4's and 2x8's for forty grand. I think I'll wait a few more years for prices to come down even further. Good video, thank you.
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
oh yeah, Kerry you rock love your videos. They are so informative
Thank you!
Allowing for the currency conversion rates, you can buy an all year round prefab house or mobile home (you might call them trailer homes, not certain) here complete with central heating and double glazing, up to three bedrooms and two bathrooms for under $100,000. We currently live in one, which is 480sqft and is a three bed (40' x 12') with double glazing and gas fired central heating which has been lived in all year round for the past 15 years (we currently rent it but the owners lived in it with their growing family while they built a house) while their eldest son and daughter-in-law live in a new 2 bed 360sqft one - again all year round with gas fired central heating and double glazing - just behind us. All connected to mains sewage, electricity and water using bottled gas and all much much cheaper than the tiny houses you are showing here although the layouts are much the same. We are in Ireland so need something which will take below zero temperatures (below 32F) and these will. I suspect in many places the same restrictions would apply as for the ''mobile homes'' on the property where I live, namely that they must be fully ''mobile'' but up to building specs as well, and outside of the US - and the need for housing is desperate all over the world and rental prices are beyond the pockets of many people even if you can find somewhere that would allow you to site them on a property (again, many counties won't allow prefab houses) making them them unsuitable for many countries outside of parts of the US.
Part of the affordable housing problem is land. Where are you going to buy land to put a small home on? Then there's lack of infrastructure. Roads, sewage, water and electricity cost money. By the time you buy a 2 bedroom $200k pod, land, pay for installation and amenities, you've spent 300k or more.
Until developers start designing entire communities for pod homes, it just doesn't seem an affordable option.
Struggling towns and cities should invest in faster internet. Then rehab homes in less than desirable areas by offering various kinds of incentives to buyers or investors. Revitalization of existing communities might be a good place to start especially for younger people who can't even afford rent let alone buy a house.
This video cracked me up a lot. Firstly, Car-penter. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Then I still print in black & white. Me too. 😁 Plus I worked at blockbuster for 10 years. 😝😂😂😂. Great video. Thanks for posting it. 😎
Haha we may be the last two printing in B&W!
This looks very doable for the average homeowner looking for a quick/affordable ADU. BUT, the big questions is how does the company plan to get these units into the typical suburban backyard? The typical SO. CAL suburban home has very little room on the sides all due to strict building codes that pack homes really tight next to each other.
Kerry, when you do talk to them face to face, PLEASE find out how this can be done.
I forgot to say. That bed up tithe ceiling is fantastic idea.just super.
Thanks Kerry ! Always bearing good news
Thanks for watching
So Awesome! Love love love Azure! Kerry - you're pretty great too! Appreciate the timely info!🌞🗝
Thanks for watching Michele
The azure homes are a cool idea! I have some questions. Is this home earthquake resistant, could it handle a big earthquake? Longevity, how long is it expected to last? Wind, can it handle a hurricane! What is the warranty for this home? I like it, but I’m more concerned about quality, then how many homes they can mass produce, cheap. 👍🏻😊
Great questions. I will find out for a follow up video
Thanks for the video. These look pretty cool. I am looking forward to your in-person tour of these! I could be wrong, but I think the 180 sq. ft. model is smaller than the Boxable Casita? I wonder if these come with all the appliances and stuff the Casita comes with?🤔
You’re correct, the boxabl casita is 375 sq ft. I will find out what appliances are included for my update.
Go Kerry!!! Go Azure! Go Earth 🌎!!! 💗💗💗
Thanks Susan 🙌🏼
Hey, is there any movement towards sustainable multiple person construction?
Like that they leaked to Kerry first....i would too if i made these kind of homes. Thanks ..for great informative reviews..as always Kerry.
Thank you 🙏🏻
What does Azure say about off gassing? Given the materials there using it's a big concern of mine.
It will air out
Hi, how about home kits? Like A frame.kit .That you put together yourself. Are there other such companies? Love your channel
There are! Thank you, glad you’re enjoying the videos
I only paid $15,500 for my used site built home that is three bedroom two bath one car garage detached at approximately 1300 ft and my property taxes are less than $300 per year. I would love to live in one of the homes that you featured in this video but there's none that compares to what I already have. I purchased my existing home in 2019.
Wow thats great, where?
Near Amarillo Texas in the southeast portion of the panhandle: Memphis, Texas
My Grandfather would smash me in the face 😆 if I spent $40,000 on a tiny trendy box 😂. With that said , GRATITUDE for your bringing this to our Attention. Outside of Asia, I feel most Americans would go bonkers living full time in such a Box but 6 months out of the year , it would be pretty bitchin just for the cool factor and the challenge … Definitely encourages folks up stay trim …
Great sense of humor this episode !
Haha thanks Suzanne
Would this work in cold climates?
Can you get them without the huge window?
Id hit the like button regardless, you always put out good videos and info.. keep it coming!
Thanks JR!
Will these work for cold climates please
I’ll find out, going to do a follow up video to answer some of these questions
Thanks Kerry for your information will check them
You’re welcome 🙌🏼
I know this is really pushing it but I live on a fixed income in Vietnam. Are there any prefab homes available in the $20,000 range and what would it cost to ship it to Vietnam?
New subscriber (as of today). Wondering how difficult it would be to do a segment on affordable, 2 bedroom prefabs that would survive the harsh conditions of Alaska (hello from Alaska). I'm not in the market yet, but very curious since most dwellings are of course pictured in great dry, warm, vacation-like climates unlike our 4ft snowdrifts on top of the roofs and temps reaching -30*F (rendering solar only available in summer, structural integrity a must, and of course insulation factors). U sir, ROCK!
I'll see what I can find! thanks for subscribing
Can’t seem to find the iris model on their website. Thank you man you’re great!
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Traditional construction still available in my area for $200,000 and under, including the land. The studio may be okay for a vacation home or senior assisted living.
Wow that’s awesome! What part of the country if you don’t mind me asking
@@KerryTarnow I'll just say midwest small cities and surrounding towns to avoid any rush to get here. And yes, there are people from many socio-economic backgrounds living together in my area as in other parts of the world. The internet is a great equalizer, where you can live anywhere today and have 98% of the world's knowledge in your smartphone. Everyone is learning by seeing constant clips of one another outside of the mainstream media (MSM). Woe to the political secrecy of the past, on all sides.
Awesome ncews! Thanks for sharing Kerry!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching 🙃
6:08 How do they get away with saying plastic is “sustainable”? 🤔 Lumber is 100% sustainable/renewable.
"Sustainable" doesn't mean what you thing it means. Instead, just substitute "WEF-approved".
@@GriswoldFamily What does it mean then? I thought the World Economic Forum would be against plastic, for their agenda.
What climate conditions are these rated for? I'm in Alaska can these deal with 40 below zero and heavy snow loads?
I miss your manufactured home market updates and with all the economical changes…..do you think there prices will decrease? If so, what kind of time frame? If no, what are your thoughts?
Hi Sheri,
I actually had someone else ask this same question today. I haven’t had any indication of a decrease from my factory yet but I could ask sniff around a bit and see what I can find out. Thank you
I'm sticking with Boxable.
Fair enough! Thanks for watching
Welcome ✊
These are totally bitchin'! i love the recycled plastic polymer origins of these printable homes...U always provide up to date info and give us "Just the facts ma'am." Keep up the great and tireless work, you sir are a rock star in the world of tiny domiciles!
Thank you 🙌🏼
I am curious to know of any manufacturers in the NY tri-state, Pennsylvania or New England area making affordable prefabs. Thanks for the vid Kerry!
Interesting to still see people questioning the value propositions between site-built and factory-built homes. I understand it's easy to make a comparison to, essentially, trailer homes that are cheap and plentiful. It's essentially important to understand these homes - printed, modular, container, etc. - are almost all CAD designed making the most of the design and engineering, are built indoors in the very best of conditions, use (largely) better and friendlier materials, and incorporate much more contemporary features and comfort. Of course, they will become less expensive than they are now, but in most cases they are - in the long run - less expensive and much more durable than stick-builts. An inside builders' "joke" is what we get in a track-housing development, in all it's Craftsman glory, is a 20-year house. That's because they will barely last 20 years - or about 10 years shy of a typical mortgage. These are ALL over the US and are the subject of many lawsuits. Would I take better quality, modern features, reduced impact, and lose some square footage to avoid the crap built today? What do you think?
Agreed
still easily double what it would cost to build on site. No insulation statements. In our area anything less than 700 sqft in not habitable for the entire year so you don't see tiny houses. If I owned more than 40 acres then I can put something like this without all of the special permitting processes. Looks nice and I like the idea just have to have the city, county and state governments get on board
Yes! Please show us more!!! 👍🏽
Follow up video coming today
@@KerryTarnow looking forward to that! Love your channel and your content.
Great video !
I'm only about 10 miles south of Culver City. Do you know if they will have a showroom where we can check you out each model ?
I will find out if they have homes to tour yet
I don't view a 2 bedroom 900 SF home for 200K as affordable. You can build a double wide modular home for 50K less and more space. The tiny homes I could understand. Nice video
Can you get regular home insurance for these new prefab home. It seems unlikely given there is no stats on how long they will last. What if they leak? who will repair? cool but to much right now to risk.
I give this video three rim shots for Car-penter, B/W printer, Blockbuster Kerry...😂
Hahaha thank you
You know you have arrived when you are given a hot scoop before it is even hit the company’s web site!
I was pumped!
Love that fully transparent wall.. Not sure how much I'd love cleaning that glass.
Good point 😂
Holy smokes finally, it's wide open and there's lots of space!
Are your houses insulated to cold weather, such as Canada?
if you live anywhere in california, these homes are affordable compared to the homes already built and on the market
Exactly. Other places the price will seem outrageous. Depends where you’re located. Thanks for watching
@@KerryTarnow great content and information. After watching your channel a few times, broaden the market for me and helped my research for my own property I am looking to expand.
This might be a stupid and basic question.... but are these homes "strong"!? if you get 4 feet of snow on the roof, will it collapse!?
Not a stupid question, i’ll follow up with them
Did you know that the Boxabl Casita requires an additional roof installed for most parts of the county?
Love your channel…need a week of videos dedicated to land opportunities
Thats a great idea! Thanks
Thanks again, Kerry!
Have you ever heard Jim Morrison say, “Azure”? It’s in one of the doors songs.
I think it’s pronounced “Azshure”
In Britain we pronounce it as 'azyoor'. Gotta love those regional dialects.
Agree. It's pronounced more like the word hazard.
I think you’re right but I realized it after recording the video.
Can you do a segment on homes available in Eastern Canada? Meaning made in and available to buy without hassle in The maritimes.
I’m looking for a rustic cabin type pre-fab can you point me to one of your videos which discusses a cabin style home?
Thanks
A car-penter ? I realize that space is limited but I think a two/three bedrooms with two bathrooms would be desirable for many. I could see myself in any of the units shown. Great job! I will wait for a follow up video.
Thanks John!
Love your channel. I'm surprised on how few of these companies design their homes to be easily combined to make larger units.
Thank you!
I was just thinking that
WOW! HAWAI'I HERE!! WONDER IF THEY WOULD SELL THE PLANS? I HAVE A CMC/PRINTER MACHINE ACCESS IN TOWN ... PRINT ON THE WEEKND ... DRIVE TO SITE(OCEAN FRONT!!) AND DROP IT! OR, DO YOU THINK THEY CAN SHIP ... LIKE ON A SHIP? ID HAVE LOVED TO SEE AN ARTISTS RENDERING OF EACH MODEL, AS EACH FLOORPLAN SEEMED TO HAVE FEW WINDOWS!
I’m not sure what their shipping radius is. Beachfront sounds amazing
what is the total cost with foundation and plumbing?
Very attractive homes. I am just not feeling trustful of a bed being stored at the top of the ceiling. The kitchen is way to small for me. I think these homes are great for people on the go that mostly eat from restaurants. The homes are not family friendly at all. Love the shape and the wood look on the outside.
Never really thought about the fact you are sitting under the bed when it’s stored… valid point 🤔
Good stuff Kerry. Thank you.
..... Blockbuster 😂🤣
Haha
I want to buy a little piece of property and put a little place
On it. What do you think about buying 10 x 18 wood at $90
A sq foot. and put it together then hire someone to do the electrical (This is for a small tiny home) then hire someone to put the toilet in. Do it as you
go. If the lender turns you down. The people with no or maybe just one bad credit they have all the money because they don't have bills. I haven't applied yet. I have no credit and one $500 collection in dispute. I pay almost 900 a month now for a nothing small apt Alleays paid on time. Then those calculators say I qualify for $500 a month loan. Does that make since.
as one green building material supplier ,i really like this video
Thanks
Reminds me of an old phone booth. Or outhouse! But gee! It's affordable! 😆
I would love a prefab but if I'm not mistaken some places won't let you put it on your lot. is this true?
I think that California is good for adu's
@@OurMackeyAndDottieShow i live in NC and it is so hard to find out if you're allowed to have prefabs. It took me months to get someone at the housing department to tell me there was no minimum size limit for homes. The website was a waste of time. I guess a builder or contractor is my next phone call. Hopefully they give me the correct information
Most places INSIDE city limits ties your hands and your freedoms in a million different ways. Buying a lot not in subdivision you can useually do whatever you want...certain states have general building codes, but most of these modulars meet or exceed them. These new guys arn't stupid
Wow! Another great video. Azure isn't as creative in their designs as some of the other manufacturers, but they are generally quite affordable.
Thank you 🙌🏼
The printed aspect is pretty innovative!
I agree!
Thanks so much for all the info. It would also be helpful if you could include the exterior dimensions (length and width) of all the models that you cover-
Thank you for the feedback 🙌🏼
Kerry, this company managed sustainability and affordability 👍
Hi Ana! Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
I live in Norway and we have a hard climate so I wonder how many of these prefab homes that can be used without doing any extra isolation. I don't think there are many of those.
Wow, sounds great. Thank you
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Sure great build.with toxoc plastics
I have a 2400 sq ft modular home with 4 bedrooms 3 baths and I only paid 142k in 2001. I couldn't afford house prices today
Can these home be financed and if so how much down
Great vid. Hey, what is the statue beside you?
Thank you! I have no idea, We’re storing some stuff for my inlaws while they’re off enjoying retirement and it’s theirs. The picture is also theirs 😂
That would be great for a little art studio
For sure!
I kinda agree with Conan's finger-dance, wave thing.. But what else are you gonna get realistically for that price?? thinner and thinner options, that's what !! it's scary to think about that a lot of people will be forever living in tin trailers until those run out and what's "affordable" now skyrockets us all into annihilation
Not really into plastic as it affects the hormones from its offgassing. How about an air quality test once a new home is made to check the toxins in the air? May take a year to offgas.
