Good point. Las Vegas real estate is plummeting now with prices going even lower this year. You could get a nice home for $280 K. We don't even know if these modular homes have any long-lasting value. They look like all synthetic materials like an RV type material.

[@BobbyBusiness]

At the end of the day it seems like it's going to be about speed. Why wait months for a house to be built when this one will be ready for you in a matter of hours. Time is money. If you can rent out your backyard unit sooner than later. Why not? Just my two cents.

The cost of house has gone about 22% since 2016 in Las Vegas. The cost of the land the house sits on has gone up about 114% since 2016 in Las Vegas. We're not making land anymore, but are making people.

Americans seem to think "a house" is just the structure. The land to set this house on would cost about $250-400k depending on location in Las Vegas. So total cost is about $400-550k. Building up is how units become cheaper. People keep saying the cost of a "house" has soared but house structures have always increased at the rate if inflation. It's land that has soared. You can buy move in ready homes on a lot all over the US for less than $50k. So cheap because the land is almost free because so few people are willing to live there. As long as Americans only want to live in very small areas they will bid uo values. Hard to believe so many people don't understand the issue. I don't know how such people survive.

They ship all over the country, it’s not just for Vegas. Sorry to burst your bubble. It’s just built in Vegas. The whole purpose of boxable is the ease of which you take a high-quality constructed home and transport it cheaply to anywhere in the US to put on slab.

[@iautonomos]

Lend cost. Permits. Water. Electricity. Same 450k house in colorado. Regular builder.

[@johnjaco5544]

You better start thinking about lack of water.

[@milwaukeemotor5995]

what about the land? where to put the boxable? how about boxable condos? that would be affordable the only main cost would be the land for the unit size but should definitely reduce the cost of construction

[@Deadlymistt]

The people who already own land will buy this and rent them out for the same high ridiculous prices we have now.

[@TheSecondWitness]

Which means some people made money, while others bought their own and saved money. What’s the problem? 😂

[@sneksteppy]

If you were smart, you'd be doing the same thing. But you're only seething because you are unwilling and unmotivated to get in on it.

[@Lp-ze1tg]

I think the land also plays a crucial part.

[@youhaveaGodregardlesscreature]

The desert land is worthless

[@Allaiya.]

150k still seems like a lot. I suppose it would depend on how it holds up over 30 years....

[@shortstraw4]

For those interested in policies that would make housing affordable look to the Japanese. One zoning code managed federally, focus on housing as a commodity not an investment.

[@curiouspeople6441]

Next year home prices will come down more & this solution might will be seems as too expensive 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AKtreeTV]

Probably 100k profit for the builders. So it could come down lol

[@jushere4thacomments671]

I guess the already built vacant high priced homes weren't a go this time 🌝

[@bbutler7158]

What are code requirements for weather, foundations, durability, fire, electrical, water, paints , insulation to name a few and what type of insurance is out there and for how much $?

[@anthony212459]

That's a steal. Like stealing your money.

[@abcamacho6187]

Bruh.......those things are on YEARS waiting list. And price on the single boxabl will only keep rising not dropping no matter what they tell you unfortunately

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

So wait a minute, are you putting this on land you have to buy? Or are you putting this in a trailer park? If it's the former: * $150K for the home * $50K for the land * $30K for a foundation We haven't even talked about water. Is this being hooked up to town water? If so, that's the best (i.e., cheapest) option. If you need to dig a well, you're adding thousands more. Same with electricity. Now, if you're putting this in a trailer park, then this is no different than a trailer home. We have a traditional home, but personally, I'd rather just go with an RV. I have the flexibility to get up and go whenever I feel like. I don't see any benefits to Boxabl.

[@hgallegos915]

150k for the house…. Plus the land… still more expensive than an old house.

[@coachlasvegas4887]

Houses built in vegas are trash. Bet the materials on these are way higher quality then all the home builders here in the valley. Prices of houses in vegas are almost never the housing but the land price. As an example the house i live in was sold for 250k but the house value is only 75k with the land being the lionshare of the value. We can get excited as much as we want about these new homes but that doesnt change the land values which are the real reason the cost of homes is so high.

[@Sara-wb2bs]

I'm a MASSIVE fan of Boxabl!!!

[@kaywatson6505]

1. California regulations fights housing solutions. 2. Most people need housing for about 90k or less. 3. The wait list on this is years not weeks. Been looking at prefabs for a couple of years now. Still looking...

[@Pcarnevaaa]

We already have enough houses, just too many “vacation properties” and unaffordable housing.

[@theotheleo6830]

$150k plus land, permits, connection of utilities, etc.

[@mikesabian7085]

Do any of you people know what a Chevy Cruz is? it’s a very cheap and poorly built disposable car to get you from point A to point B temporary, not long term. You’re better off renting an apartment or condo you will never see any of your return on your investment that’s why the US government is buying these up and shipping them to Cuba as disposable temporary housing nothing more! If your house was decimated by a fire hurricane tornado or flood by all means pull the trigger on one and live in it temporary to get a permanent structure built because these aren’t it. Do you research do the math kick the tires look at what your buying.

[@TheSecondWitness]

You recommend people do research, yet you obviously didn’t - the irony 😎😄😂🤣😝

[@Libertaro-i2u]

All total, the cost would probably be in the region of $250,000 to $310,000. Even with the extra costs tacked on, it's still a bargain for the Las Vegas area, where the same price would get you a one or two bedroom condo.

[@MercyOnMySoul]

The high housing prices is not the cost of the home; it’s the cost of the land.

[@moneynoluv]

They jacked jump there prices big time!

[@brownmoon2023]

Can it withstand an earthquake and a hurricane storm??

[@tacobelle69]

What if the trend ends and you can’t sell your home? Will property values go up? Lots of questions

[@stolennimbus]

How much will it cost if land, connection to electricity, water and sewer are added on?

[@TheSecondWitness]

Most buyers already own their own land, and many are putting the $50K Casita version as a mother-in-law house behind their existing home. In all 50 states since they deliver.

[@truckingwithtobee]

Apparently, this company can’t even keep up with its customers. There’s lots and lots of people waiting for these small homes that put in orders and they’re not receiving them. Why? So if they can build these homes in a matter of hours, why are they so behind on all of their orders?

[@Mark__]

I was expecting her to say “Nevada is 84,000 degrees” for a second

[@primarytrainer1]

Do people realize will probably start falling apart before the loan is paid off right? They have houses like these overseas and they really only last 30 years at best. And what problem does this solve when there is no cheap land to buy in close proximity to anywhere there are actually jobs??

[@milwaukeemotor5995]

where are the mainstream of people going to put this boxable, it can't be in the middle of nowhere it has to be beside amenities in the city

[@garethcourtney284]

People of Vegas. You can buy and actual home for the same price that's not stuck out in the middle of the blazing hot sand. Incase y'all didn't realize that

[@TheSecondWitness]

And in case you didn’t realize it, the factory is in Vegas but they are delivered all across the US. Why don’t you find out what you’re talking about before you start talking

[@josegiron81]

Yet in LA I can't even build a back yard patio for my home with out having to Pull permits increase my taxes and so on but it's ok to Build sardine boxes for people to live in

[@juancabrera2525]

Forgot to add... Lot: $180k +/- If the lot has no utilities add... Water Lateral (service): $10k Sewer Lateral: $5k Gas Service: $2k Electric: $7k to $20k Nice try though. 🤷

[@janh5199]

Good grief! 30 years ago will built a 5 bedroom 4 bath home for $116,000 including the land. What happened?

[@steveh5307]

The problem isn't the structure. Land is the problem. Have you ever tried to develop land? All kinds of regulations and hoops to jump through. You can't just buy, then buy something like this and stick it on the land. If you find land in the city/suburbs with sewer/utilities connection, first, it's expensive as in 1/3 to 1/2 of the price of you buying a house outright, so it doesn't make sense to put something like this on it. You might as well spend triple, quadruple, so $450-600k+ and build a real house on it so your house is another legitimate house in the neighborhood that you can sell for significant profit. If you find land outside the city, there often isn't sewer so you gotta get septic and you could run into issues with getting your septic design approved, if at all. And if water lines don't quite reach, you might need to dig a well and that's another nightmare. Even it was available, it could be expensive because it isn't just connecting to a line that runs below the street. It could be several hundred feet or even yards. Same with electricity. Sure, this seems nice and I wouldn't mind one myself as low maintenance brand NEW dwelling instead of moving into what was someone else's dwelling previously. But do get it to it being livable could be a nightmare and months of fighting with the city or county. The laws and infrastructure support need to be there and it's not and it's a lot of headache. In the end, the all-in cost could rival just buying a house and close in a couple months instead of over a year.

[@TheSecondWitness]

You just wrote an essay of nonsense, since you obviously didn’t do your research on the company’s business model. Most buyers already own their own land, and many are putting the $50K Casita version as a mother-in-law house behind their existing home. In all 50 states since they deliver.

[@djayjp]

You guys at Fox really need to invest in HD cameras...!

[@gigshare3947]

USA has an invader/illegal/migrant surplus, not a housing shortage. Demographics repair & ethnic cleansings solve the resource problems.

[@AndyonBlast]

These lies are crazy All the homes for rent but we're short 84k? Sickening

[@Miszjrance]

I'm homeless and need a place to live. How do I get on the waiting list & what are the requirements to buy one of these houses?

[@greatbambino2993]

Building highrise modules like this rn. You can custom build anything

[@SourBogBubble]

Why not get a 4k sq ft house same price but have it poured concert ICF blocks. The use the 100k left over to build the inside?

[@MendyJanelle]

And in 10 years or less, you are buying another one! I have had no problem finding a home to call a place to live in Las Vegas. Renting is better than living in a makeshift, glorified box. As a guest home, these would be cool. To live in? Not so much.

[@willcookmakeup]

Its only 150???!! That's so cheap, this is a great option
