The Top 10 PREFAB HOMES of 2024!!

[@VickDru]

Am retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It's so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on

[@TravisJames-e4f]

Retirement is more challenging now than it used to be. I've focused on saving rather than investing, and currently, I have about $400K. With inflation on the rise, I'm considering investing in stocks, but I'm not familiar with effective market strategies.

[@HilmanJacks-mq1tc]

Planning ahead can really minimize taxes! I've made a smart reinvestments, especially with some great guidance from a pro for a half year now, and it's been a game changer. I was able to reinvest my RMD strategically, and I'm now pulling in about $25k a week, despite doing very little trading myself. It's a nice cushion against financial stress. Best of luck with your RMD decisions!

[@TravisJames-e4f]

25k a week? Amazing! how did you get started?

[@HilmanJacks-mq1tc]

I signed up for a 1-on-1 trading session. It's like copy trading, but with personalized guidance.

[@VickDru]

Honestly I really need help learning to trade. Seeing my portfolio low makes me very sad.

[@JasonExner]

Quality, consistency and comedy......the pillars of your channel. Incredible work this year! Cheers and thank you!

[@KerryTarnow]

Thank you! Appreciate that

[@Odseus]

​@@KerryTarnow Thanks Ellen. Love the new show!

[@DwainDwight]

I have made many inquiries to numerous pre-fab builders, two main issues seem to be: 1. don't ship to your area 2. sorry, can't tweak that (and for no good reason) Also I was surprised how many were reluctant (or couldn't be bothered) to give me specifics. I eventually gave up and bought an existing house. Kerry, great channel. thank you.

[@AbcDino843]

I was wondering if these even make sense considering the cost. Are they really cheaper after everything is taken into account?

[@gussalazar449]

They most likely cater to the snob crowds who are dumb enough to pay hand over fist money for these houses. 350k for a prefab house built in Nicaragua!?! Gtfoh! There's no other good explanation for these prices.

[@leezimmerman2610]

Thanks!

Oh, thanks for doing all this great work through the year showcasing all these different homes and many more. You certainly have worked hard for your KZbin channel and it has paid off .When I first started watching , you had about 250 K members and now up to 272K! Congrats!

[@KerryTarnow]

Thanks Kathleen. Appreciate the kind words 👍. Happy new year!

[@SARGEinc]

I always love hearing about anything from my hometown of Abbotsford BC... I happened to have delivered some light fixtures to Hewing Haus before my old company shut down. I asked if he was building tiny homes because I watch that kind of stuff on youtube, then he promptly gave me a full tour of the shop. That's the only time I met the guy, but he definitely seemed like he was excited about what he was doing and happy to show it off.

[@KerryTarnow]

Nice! Yeah they’re great people.

[@joevarga5982]

It's been a great year thanks in no small part to your videos, Kerry. You sure put in the effort to bring great content. Thank you!

[@TamaraJoy7]

As an Australian, I really appreciate seeing what the prefab designers from the USA and Canada are doing. Your tours are always really inspiring and entertaining and fun to watch. Loving your style and content, can’t wait for 2025!

[@KerryTarnow]

Appreciate the kind words Tamara, hope to do some tours in Australia sometime. thanks for watching!

[@JustinWC-w1m]

You appreciate it? I'd appreciate afford homes so I didn't have to look at living in a glorified shed. The same people ruining our countries own and subsidize "tiny home" manufacturers.

[@Thelost_Saint]

Why are these still expensive? Isn't the point of a tiny home to be affordable

[@4thdimensionalexplorer]

Yeah some are pretty pricey but they are pre-made so it's skipping exspensive steps and labor costs. The true cheapest way is to build your own

[@micaineseeley5339]

Inflation

[@lifecoaching5068]

No point of wasting money for tiny home it is expensive.

[@manni_xo]

If Chinese people start making them they’ll become cheaper

[@richardb8220]

Like anything, as soon as something becomes more popular it becomes more expensive.

[@KerryTarnow]

Appreciate you tuning in so consistently! Happy new year

[@61Slughi]

Best interior would be the Fjord 4:04 Such a nice layout and roomy (17' wide certainly helps) Best exterior would be the Holo with the extension over the front deck 7:15. I know it's small unit, but I love when the front of the building is pushed back inside to create a deck with wood accents. Actually, there were several models with this feature, even Kerry's #1 is a bigger version of it. 11:31

[@anniea.4141]

Thanks Kerry for this recap, it was great going through these the past few months 🙂 Can I make some suggestions for some top 10 videos? I would love to see your Top 10 Steel Exterior Prefab Homes, Top 10 Prefab Factories that ship outside North America, Top 10 Most Affordable Prefab Homes, and such types of videos - Thanks a lot in advance and Happy New Year 😊

[@bethrogers5656]

Have enjoyed watching your channel, your tours and humor, plus your videoing style (non of that frenetic camera movement that others seem to do especially in smaller homes,the walkthrough, etc). Would be interesting to see some of the model homes actually set up in a permanent settings, especially if they are being offered as hospitality units. Thank you, looking forward to where you venture to in 2025.

[@KerryTarnow]

Thank you, appreciate that. The hospitality units are great for tours because I can have some time in them to see what they’re all about. Will definitely be looking for more in 2025

[@Pray4Vengence]

I’m not sure if you’re looking for new content ideas for your channel, but it could be really interesting to create a detailed price comparison between buying prefab homes and having a local builder construct something similar from scratch. You could break down the costs step by step, covering aspects like the foundation, materials, labor, permits, utilities, delivery, and assembly costs for the prefab option. To make it even more engaging and informative, you could sit down with a local builder in one of your videos. Together, you could go over the real-life costs and challenges of building a comparable home, discuss the pros and cons of custom builds versus prefabs, and even get their professional insight on timelines, quality, and potential hidden costs. This type of content would be incredibly valuable to your viewers, offering both expert advice and a practical comparison. It could also spark great discussions in the comments as viewers share their own experiences and questions. With some research and collaboration, this could become one of your most insightful and impactful videos.

[@KerryTarnow]

Thank you! Thats a great idea

[@Rockiii9]

Great review, Terry! Your content is always informative & entertaining, this one especially so for me as I’m seriously looking for a small home to put on a lot I own on a large lake near Columbia, SC, my hometown. I’ve lived in China for many years but intend to return there for retirement. I want a place for a “home base”, even though I expect to spend most of the year traveling. The Modern Modular Mod 2 (#3) w/full kitchen, looks like a perfect fit for my needs. Many thx for your diligence & efforts in coverage of this expansive market! 🙏🙏🙏

[@papermoontarot4219]

Some great choices, thanks for sharing. Looking at these prices I think we got a deal this year on our 616 SF house for $92,000 (plus upgrades, tax, delivery, site work, etc.). Happy New Year, Kerry!

[@KerryTarnow]

I think so too! Happy new year 🥳

[@chinookvalley]

papermoontarot Who, what, when, where, and how on earth did you find something actually affordable???

[@papermoontarot4219]

@@chinookvalley Wolf Industries out of Battle Ground, Washington and we heard about them on Kerry's channel. I think the model we went for in early 2024 has bumped up to $97,000 in 2025. The big costs are any upgrades, the land, utility connections, in our case a septic system, delivery (we're about 200 miles away and delivery was $19,000 or so) and taxes. They have smaller models and if you don't have the site costs or many upgrades you can keep the costs down. But they're really good to deal with, very solid product, so check them out!

[@tracyjames4187]

Great homes, and the ones you selected for your top ten are my faves, too. Always look forward to your videos!

[@KerryTarnow]

Thanks Tracy. Glad you like them!

[@jloiterer]

236k for a 700 square foot prefab, assuming the hookups to plumbing, electric and septic are probably going to cost at least 50k more - and also the cost of the land it would be on - why not just by a whole house?

Sadly the prices for these just don’t make sense might as well just build a house for the price of these, most of them could probably cost $30k and the company would make money on the volume sold instead of way overpricing them they won’t sell as much.

Great video 🙂, could you do one on projects that are made in Europe 😅 thanks.

[@KerryTarnow]

Good idea 😃

[@Trying_very]

Please can you check out some prefabs that ship to Europe or are already available for purchase in Europe. Turkey has some of the most affordable and well-constructed prefabs. Bear in mind that Europeans live in much smaller homes because building land is much more expensive due to the relatively high population density compared to the USA and Australia where there are still large areas of rural land available for development outside of the major cities. Even Canada still has a relatively low population to land ratio outside of major cities. The whole of the British Isles land area would fit into one US state, sometimes multiple times, so we need much smaller prefabs with clever use of space and preferably stackable ones due to the relatively high cost of building land. There is probably also a demand for these much smaller prefabs in the USA cities where land is also hard to find and much more expensive. All the best for the New Year!

I have looked at some in Europe but definitely want to see more
