I had no idea These PREFAB HOMES were available in 48 States!!

[@ckm-mkc]

What baffles me about all these options is that they are far more expensive than an onsite stick-built unit of similar size. $127k for 200sq ft? That's $600/sq.ft. which is double what normal construction costs... I thought the point of factory built homes was to reduce the cost, not double it....

[@blutamis7697]

It's finished with appliances It's high end It's small and go places a home reg home can't It can be moved Even though it's a lot per foot it's less total cost Many of us want small

[@sburgos9621]

I have to agree with you. The reason many people are looking for a prefab home is to keep construction time and cost low. Until they align with those needs I am not interested in the least.

[@Eskimo8888]

There are so many places where concrete is not available, normal construction is not possible and a path to the site is less than 9 feet.

[@brometheus6354]

Hell, I work in a mobile home factory and we produce high-end customizable mobile homes that you could house a family in starting at prices slightly more than these. We have a tiny home manufacturer adjacent to us and they sell what are essentially sheds for 60+k. This entire movement was ruined when these became vacation rentals, "spaces" and other commodities other than easily maintained dwellings that were intended to be far cheaper than a standard home. Granted in some markets these prices are cheap but in everyday America these prices are ludacris and are intended for hipsters and trendsters with far too much money.

[@this_epic_name]

Yeah, I'm with you. What I basically want is a single-wide, except 1) it has high-quality materials, 2) has at least *some* exterior style, and 3) is built to a non-HUD standard.

[@wildernesscapes]

I have a deposit on a couple of these units, from last year! Just waiting on permits from my end. Martii from sales is super good to work with! Produced currently south of the border in Mexico, but moving production to Texas. 100+ units scheduled production in 2023

[@richardavery2244]

Question, what are you using your units for and how much are you paying for permits in Texas? I am living in California and so far the concept of affordable homes is a horrible joke on developers, contractors and manufacturers as well as home buyers! Permits cost north of $100k ! Greedy states, city and county governments representatives! They want $5000 just to look at your “affordable modular homes plans” please don’t call California a liberal state because it’s not, it’s a greedy, self- centered state!
