The Top 10 PREFAB HOMES of 2024!!

A lot happened in the prefab home industry this year with new companies, new designs and new factories. I've been tracking the industry on my KZbin channel for 3 years now and this year was by far the most fun to watch. In this video I look at a list of the top 10 prefab homes of the year and tell you a few things I like about each. Watch and learn more about some of the options currently available in the prefab home industry!

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.

[@onetimearound1275]

Inflation. Biden. Destroyed all of that. Do you want a home or do you want a depreciation on wheels?

[@user-fu7uo3us4z]

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❤

[@vladimirtalijan]

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.

[@21cranberries21]

I like that your top 10 consists of the ones you like the best. You actually saw some of them in person, so you get to pick. Plus, it's your channel.😃

[@KerryTarnow]

Haha exactly 😂

[@beklandfarm16]

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.

[@olga138]

@@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.

[@Keithphotorama]

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.

[@Transterra55]

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.

[@davidhunternyc1]

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!!!

[@KerryTarnow]

They’re so cool! Merry Christmas

[@SeattleCoorain]

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.

[@Octalux]

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!

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.

[@richardSmith-iv3ep]

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?

[@444rand]

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💜🐬🏡🎁🎄🎶

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.

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.

[@misterogers9423]

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.

[@rhombusx]

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.
