DWELL Magazine Just Released Their Own PREFAB HOME!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- DWELL Magazine has just released their own prefab home! One of the most popular publications in all of housing has officially entered the prefab home space with their new ADU call The Dwell House. This is huge news for the prefab home industry as it's the second magazine I've seen partner with an offsite construction builder this month alone. I think this new trend of prefab builders partnering with publications with a massive reach is a brilliant idea that will be mutually beneficial for both parties and people looking to buy a prefab home. In this video I look at who has partnered, what they're building and how much it'll cost. Watch to learn more about the DWELL House!

It’s incredibly hard for me to imagine that a builder has to charge $389,000 for a 14’x38’ mobile home in order to make a profit.
Exactly!
absolutely agree with you on that.
100%.
I won’t be buying Dwell anymore.
Just wondering who in their right mind would spend that kind of money on something like this when for the same price (in some markets) you can buy or build a full house. It’s a good looking product just not $389k good.
It's either greed or to cover their startup costs or both. I think their market is people in big cities that have made substantial cash and have a flippant attitude towards money to get out of the city or not.
What I dislike is that there's no roof over hang. I live in a house right now that has no over hang and I hate it.
$400K for something that's less than a converted chicken coop? Have people lost their damn minds?
At $389,000 I don't see the value in getting a premanufactured home. You could just build one on site and probably have an easier time tweaking various features and options to your own liking. Also if $400,000 is what you can get for a 500 ft² space then I'm going to change careers right now. 🤯
Exactly! I’m building a custom one with better amenities and design for 200k!
Prices must be based on southern California's housing market.
I believe the minimum house size in my stylish Los Angeles County town is 1,500. They should really bring that down to a reasonable level.
its just amazing that with all their information & research on housing Dwell hasn't figured out that this tiny home has an unaffordable price. egad! I must be hanging with the wrong crowd.
I think it was a bad move on Dwell’s part. It makes them look foolish.
California prices
Thats pricey as hell
Dude, I love your prefab/manufactured home videos. Please keep it up and thanks for the info you provide us.....
All about rhe money!
Thank you 🙌🏼
$389,000.00!!!!! Geez Louise!
For that much money I'd rather get a small piece of land and put a Boxable on it and a shipping container for pantry storage. And maybe a small outbuilding for garden tools and a chicken coop. ;)
It is a nice product, though.
I don't do the whatsapp
almost $400k for this tiny home? It has nice high end features but not worth the price.
Me thinks that paying over 300 thousand for a 540 sq ft house is not the WTG for anyone who is looking for affordable housing alternatives
I don't think it could even pay for itself if you AirBnBd it for 10 years straight. Or rented it for a $1000 a month.
@@monunyabidness5949 Yes, but in the San Francisco area, you could rent it for more than double that amount.
I've loved Dwell's savvy vision for years. Now I'm in love with their savvy ingenuity! No way I can afford these prices, but seeing such an understated style of indoor/outdoor living makes me happy.😊 Thanks, Kerry! Peace, smiles & Light ~ Carolyn
Thanks Carloyn 🙌🏼
I subscribed to Dwell for years but stopped a few years ago as everything the covered seemed to be of the same style. But a great magazine if you like that.
My husband and I put one of these houses in the backyard to get the children out of the house.
The four kids aged 9 to 13 have their own space and are learning house work is a must because
they now know nothing get cleaned or done by itself. The kids get invited in for dinner each night
but other than that it's the Dwell house out back.
definitely an elite west coast only offering targeted at those living in way overpriced areas. the price can buy a mansion in most of the US. Well, a comparative mansion.
At that price point that’s over $700 per sqft. I can do a stick build for $350 per.
Or hopefully lower than $350/sqft
A great video, as always.
Thank you 🙌🏼
Thanks for a good informative video. As soon as I heard "for discerning people" I knew it was going to be very pricy. These high end high priced homes are not going to be solving the housing situation any time soon, because most of us can't afford them. Companies like Incredible Tiny Homes with tiny home prices ranging from 20K to 100k, and Boxibl at 50k, are in a better position to help the housing situation because they are affordable bu so many more people who are needing a home.
Totally agree. This is an ADU for rich people who want a guest home.
There has got to be something in the middle. ITH and Boxibl are basically sheds, while Dwell is a rich person's summer house next to the pool or for the son/daughter who wants to live alone, but not too far from parent's cash.
Isn't there anyone making homes for €100/metre - $100/11ft?
They will have no choice, but to go alot lower watch!!
Love this but the price is out of my budget
Thanks for all you do so we can all make an educated choice when it is time!
The price is almost $400 per squ ft. It’s crazy for anyone.
Yes, it's stupidly expensive. Take off half the price and it's then perhaps reasonable.
Wow-its what I’ve been looking for 👌🥰
Great!
When I inquired about the home apparently the East Coast isn't part of their area. Their response:
Thanks for reaching out to Abodu! We're excited that you're interested in our backyard homes. Unfortunately, XXXXX is outside of our service area, which is currently limited to the San Francisco Bay Area, San Luis Obispo, Los Angeles County, and Seattle, Washington.
Thank you for letting everyone know!
Reminds me of Sears, Dwell in this case, selling homes through a catalog.
Could overhangs be an option on so many of these prefab homes? Living where it rains and snows, an overhang can be a difference between a door frrrrrrreezing closed, or not.
A pergola would go well with this one. Adding to the high cost though…
@@DuaneL1961 Probably $50k. They're having a laugh!!!!
Yea, the side entrance could really use some shelter against the weather.
Good work! 👍
Thank you!
I love the way the homes are shown with spectacular views. To get that view will cost as much as the Dwelling. Oh well dream on. As you said Abodu is a high end builder. But a half million dollars if you buy land with a view. Oh, I didn't hear anything about furniture. 🤩
This is getting into stick-built prices, even including foundation work. High-end as you say. High end appliance package as well. Just paying the expenses for a site visit is going to cost for time and travel over a 'large' distance.
Nice one ! 👍
Thanks 🙌🏼
Dwell is a super cool magazine so it is not surprising they came out with a great prefab design.
Thanks so much Kerry, love the glammy design but not the spendy price tag. Great inspo tho!
Thanks for watching
These are very nice homes but very expensive! Please keep these videos coming, I find them very interesting and I keep looking to see if you're ever going to put that picture up behind you. 🤣🤣
Hahaha! I actually thought about it the other day 😂
Yes Kerry very Good information how do you think the The prefab houses is on hold up in Florida and a hurricane
I'm not on board with the idea that simple design and fancy appliances (Bosch isn't cheap) justifying what many similar designers charge for a 3 bedroom house. This comes out to over 700 dollars a square foot. How much did those architects cost?
For a bloody barn with nice windows and doors? They're having a laugh i tell you.
You didn't even include the price of land!
Great-looking place if you can afford it.
Norm Architects are at the top of their game. Soft minimalism.✨👌✨
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
The price per square foot for this Dwell ADU built by Abodu is very competitive for the markets that it will serve. Dwell is based in Marin County, CA. Abodu is also based in the SF Bay Area.
That price per sq foot is still too high considering it includes no land.
@@pamjacobs12 Nope. A lot would start at more than $1M in their service area. In my area, the smalles lot is about a 5K sq ft and they start at $2.5M.
Interesting. I’m curious as to what innovations if any does the dwell house contribute to the prefab industry. I assume that with that many years covering housing they should have some fresh ideas. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Great work as always Kerry. 😎
Thanks Billy 🙌🏼
Hey Kerry, awesome channel! I live in Norway and trying to get my wife onboard with the idea of buying a prefab home. She is worried about insulation as winters can reach -25 Celsius and lower on a bad day.
Do you know if any of the homes you’ve reviewed have good winter insulation? If not could you do a video covering some options?
Hi Kerry 👋
No overhang is probably cool in the desert southwest, but I think some overhang is better in rainy areas.
Thanks for watching Tina Clark’s 👻
I live in Oklahoma. My 2,000 sq ft. home which is well built and quite lovely on a small lot is currently valued at $362,000. Can't imagine anyone paying 389,000 which doesn't even include a lot. I realize homes are much more expensive on the coasts, which is why people there are looking to save money. A lot in some of these places is going to bring that home up to twice that amount, or more. I thought pre-fab were supposed to be a cheaper route to go.
the pricing is enough to not even look...
Yes, we won’t “Dwell” on it long…
Thanks Kerry. Pretty and well designed it looks like...would love to have one of these or bigger sized ones but for me the cost is more than can do....otherwise it would be worth looking at and i bet for some it will serve them well. ..especially in CA and PNW where homes are skyrocketing crazy high and then these are NOT comparatively high at all for what's double and triple that and only a little bigger and maybe not better ...not as new or cleverly designed to make more use of less space and with some of the features built into these that homes now do not have..and that's makes more space more useable.
I like seeing even what can't afford (as much as i like looking up at the stars and moon at night even tho i don't have the wherewithall to go there...😄 or i like to see pics in magazines of places i may never get to go to and homes/designs and layouts and furniture i won't ever have ....but i enjoy seeing and getting ideas for what i can do ...from that. It's always great to see ideas and dream about potentials whether we might or don't have way to own /or accomplish them exactly as what we are looking at , at the time. It is making potentials apparent and ways to accomplish them can be our incentive and lead us to how to progress to make it so..
Those double and triple prices include the land that they are on. That's where the ridiculous money goes. They are counting on your observation to justify the cost to the public. The cost ought to be one-half to one-third of that amount.
I'm curious why a factory effort like this doesn't take advantage of SIP construction methods. I'd imagine with the limited range of homes they offer, they could build their own SIPs with pre-engineered routing for plumbing and electric, and crank these out even faster and sturdier, with better insulation properties.
Also, do you know if they intend to sell this as a standalone home or only as an ADU?
Dwell Magazine already sponsored the development of a prefab house in 2003 -- nearly 20 years ago -- and launched a 5-model prefab collection for sale in 2005. Was it successful? Looking into that will give you some context on this project.
I’ll check it out thanks
Pricing is high for a backyard house. I could see it as satisfying many people as a primary dwelling. How the issue for each situation is zoning. Many cities permit secondary houses but many of those don’t have very large lots.
Abodu seems to not "offer" primary homes ? this is confusing, can you enlighten me ? They say they only offer ADU on a current home lot.
nice, and its afordable too!!!🤨
Thanks for watching!
These homes, while stunning, are a really hard sell. Boxabl got it right from the get go, though I fully expect their price to increase as the value is there.
I noticed the $50k price isnt on their website anymore 🧐
@@KerryTarnow Yes, they mention that they have such a long waiting list and material prices are going up so fast, they will contact you with a price closer to your delivery time. Kind of scary!
BTW push open doors and windows dont seem to allow screens ?? ahhh
DWELL is different from DVELE 😅
Love the design. Is there going to be a two bedroom design?
Im not sure, they just have the one right now
I want to build something like it, off grid with 3 bedrooms.
patio| 2 1/2 car garage
bedroom| bathroom| central living space| mechanical room, laundry room, master bath and closet
bedroom| bathroom| central living space| master bedroom
patio ---------------------- patio
It's easy to envision if you think of each of those rooms as a box.
The central living area encompasses the kitchen (long kitchen cutting across the building except for a passage on each side of the building leading to the bathrooms and bedrooms) living room and dining room, the mechanical room (it's off grid, so it needs a room to house the mechanics of the house, the batteries, inverter, etc, water filtration, water pressure, etc) and laundry room are about the same size, the master bedroom is larger than the other two and has a bigger bathroom. With a front and rear patio and french doors like in the video here, you can really open up the living space by opening either of the french doors leading to the front or rear patio.
This way the plumbing is simplified to two places, the kitchen, which abuts the bathrooms, and the master suite near the laundry room and mechanical room.
Reckon I could do it for $100k by starting with a shed.
You cannot get any "greener" than an Earthship. Earthship Biotecture has been designing and building self-sustaining homes for several decades - the latest, most modern designs are jaw dropping. Earthships utilize thermal mass for both heating and cooling.
Earthships collect, store, filter and deliver water throughout the home, from rain water.
Earthships normally utilize a home solar power system that can easily work independently from the power grid. This is easily done considering the heating and cooling doesn't require power.
Earthships can be built with conventional building materials, or/and repurposed materials that ultimately save on building cost.
There are several other interesting aspects of Earthship construction, but this alone was enough to draw me in to this fascinating world of home building.
I dare you to find a more efficient home. Utility costs for a modern Earthship home are a small fraction of what any traditional home will require - new or used.
Can this home be sited in any way to withstand a storm like this last one from Florida? That state’s hoardes of trailer parks needs an alternative.
Not for $389,000.
way too expensive
Bosch Appliances are mid-range not high end. Miele is what I would want for this home. My modern home came with Bosch appliances and I immediately replaced them.
Ive got whirlpool
Agree. But Bosch are pretty good quality.
Love the videos you create and you do a great job making them. Why does it seem that you primarily showcase high priced west coast builders? Are there not builders in other parts of the country where you can get more bang for your buck? A 1-2 bedroom place in California can be a million dollar home where as in Texas that same money can get you a much larger place.
Hey Duke, check back on Sunday! I have a new non California option
Another good option.
Thanks for watching Deanna!
@@KerryTarnow Anytime!
I find the lack of overhands disturbing; like I would have direct sun in my eyes for a better part of the day and have rain splashing inside if any door was open.
Rain? 🤔 This is a west coast company. We in the west have a hard time conjuring up a memory of rain . . . 😑
But I agree; overhangs are nice and I’d definitely want to add one.
Great observation. You want overhangs? Chh, add 50K to the cost.
Great video! But this won’t fix the housing crisis. Affordable living will fix our problems.
I really like this home, but i think that they face some market challenges. First, not every site can accommodate the dimensions of this home or cranes access. These ADUs are great for family members, but their design has limitations if one is purchasing one as a rental prroperty, then privacy is a concern.
389K? I just choked on my coffee.
Haha oh no! ☕️
Hey Kerry, I got to visit one of their first installations in Sonoma County and interview the CEO of dwell. Let me know if you want footage. I'd love to collaborate on something with you :)
Are the Tiny homes still available with solar power for 10k?
Incredible tiny homes has one for $20k (upgrade to solar)
@@KerryTarnow Thank you Kerry. We will definitely keep this is mind once we sell our home.
Great video, as always. Disappointing price point.😭
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
In the San Francisco area, custom homes cost $600-700 a square foot to build ( in you can find a builder). In LA, it can be $450 a square foot and up for custom. For some people, spending an extra $100k to solve a housing problem for an elderly parent or an adult child is worth it, especially if they don’t want a construction crew in their yard for six months or more. I think the Dwell price is kind of ridiculous but I can see that there could be a small, discerning market for it. Before the interest rates jumped, the monthly cost, if borrowed, would be cheaper than what it costs to rent a luxury one bed in LA or SF. With today’s higher rates, it’s still in line with a rental.
Logical breakdown, thanks!
I just built a beautiful 3,400 sf home in Los Angeles County for under $250/sf. I did a lot of the hand-crafted work myself, such as tile and making doors. If you are willing to put in the sweat equity, you can save a pile of money. And the City might give you a stroke before you finish it. It took over two years to get plan approvals.
As of July 2023 this unit is $813/sq.ft. WITHOUT land. These people are nuts…
Do the builders test them up against the elements like water? Lol
At $389,000, this is $720 per square foot right? Sincerely, who is the target market for this product? We can talk about all the advantages of building homes in factories, but where is the cost savings to the customer? Even with California's light touch density program, the vast majority of Californians would not be able to afford this, and in most other places in the country the numbers just don't work. Median price per square foot in the US is just over $220? What problem is this actually solving? Making housing MORE expensive?
You are exactly right.
If I could suggest in your videos doing price and price per square foot first....so we can save our time and determine if the video is worth watching. Just a thought.
Thank you for the feedback
that price is ridiculously high
Chic!
Thanks for watching
YOU have more subscribers than dwell LOL😂
Haha
Oh, you almost had me until you said $389 K
Let me state this at the beginning, you did in fact pre warn your audience that these were and are “High End” prefabricated homes, so everyone should be aware that they are expensive. So people making comments on the cost should pay attention to Kerry,s opening remarks! It’s not that you are wrong for complaining about the cost, it’s just that you were NOT paying attention, because prefabricated housing does span the gambit from $49k - $450k depending upon who the manufacturer is and the size , along with the standard features, premium materials used in each unit! Everyone must recognize that all of the new prefabricated manufacturers are different. Thus appealing to different cost segments of the market! The result is high quality products at each end of the market, now if you compare the Prefabricated homes to stick built homes, they are still more affordable by over $100k.
Take a look ( 1200sqft stick built $500k
Prefabricated 1200 sqft $400k ) now outside California 1200 sqft stick built home $275k, prefabricated 1200 sqft $175-200k
How much would it cost to build something Similar? Without the abodu or dwell name behind it?
Maybe half that price, if someone else built it.
$100k.
The exterior is a shed. Even though it's nice, let's not fool ourselves. Let's call that $40k. A nice bathroom at IKEA is gonna be about $5k, and a nice kitchen maybe $15k. We're at $60k so far. The other rooms are basically empty spaces besides cabinets. So cabinets, flooring, doors, windows, insulation, air con, etc for $40k. Yup, I think the math works.
Of course there is the permitting and all that. Either way, it's not anywhere near the $400k that they want for this.
@@monunyabidness5949 I’m thinking their kitchen and bath are at a higher quality than IKEA. But even if I your estimates, the cost is $$120,000
It's a nice house but what is the attraction of folding windows? Are there places on Earth with no insects?
We have em where I live!
i remember ; when nobody read Dwell but me ,in the beginning it wasn't a fashionable magazine. Global Homeless change the human mind .
Glory be to the Father .amen
Anybody listen to the part about what you get for your $389k? 6:54 It's not just the cost of the home, people. With that said, I do like the all inclusive package, but you got to get it under $200k all in minus the property.
Yes, you get a lot of features and services but it also means that they are pricing it for the worst conditions (that they will tolerate) and everyone else is subsidizing that. Usually a manufactured house is priced without any site work because that varies so much.
Um as a designer I don’t see the cost being that extravagant.
After 20 years of data, cost is NOT a factor. 🙄🤦🏽♂️
Nice! Your videos should be seen by more watchers. Can I repost your channel without changing anything on the clean platform named Ganjing World? Thank you!
Now we need new communities designed for these homes, where a young couple could buy a one bedroom then as the need arises they could add a room or two and a bathroom. This one is too high end for me. It is beautiful but not for the average young couple.
500 x $300 per sq. ft. + $50,000 crane + services + red tapes = $200,000, $389,000 is just too much.
Where is Dwell headquarters ?
California
@@pamjacobs12 That pretty much explains everything.
soooooooo400grand for like 500 sqft?
how much would this cost to build the old fashioned way is the real question.
I always get a twitch of interest when I see these video titles. And then a full serving of disappointment I knew was coming when I see the price.
Almost $400,000 for a tiny home like that??? I will pass...
Anybody on the planet not heard of Dwell? Me, am I unique at last.
Haha!
Great idea but a little on the expensive side.
Thanks for watching
Again, black is NOT the color for a California house, except, maybe, Plumas County. Black absorbs heat and we need to shed heat. That big wide door would likely be untouchable in typical California afternoon. As a former Dwell subscriber, I can tell you they are mostly pretentious youngsters. They are the people who think a broad expanse of windows is glazing. Glazing a window is putting in glass, but it isn't a wall of windows. (it is also a kind of donut). If they sell ten of these things, I will be shocked.
Right on!
They are hilariously out of touch.
Typical mistake of most microhomes on offer. No sense of heat management and intrusion of heat from sun rays.
A fantastic design. Excel looks in the cedar type wood. Not a fan of the black wood look. You are having a laugh at the price aren't you?? Kerry did you get that right?? That needs to be $120k max. Thats cost prohibitive and you should be building a house for that.
I currently live in a 565 sq ft apartment which is enough for me, and the thought of paying $300k for a shed, the size of my apartment, to live in, is hilarious, when I can buy a house 3X the size with a yard for that same price.
They. aren't. being. serious.
I was in IKEA the other day, they have complete kitchens for $10k- $20k and bathrooms for less. The other rooms are empty spaces other than cabinets. $15k for a nice kitchen, $10k for a nice bathroom, $50k for a shed (guessing) ... $30k for nice doors, windows, flooring, and even a skylight, so where's the rest of the ripoff coming from?
I love you videos... But these prices are insane and not for the average home buyer. Dwell has to do better
Thank you for the feedback, glad you’re enjoying the videos 🙌🏼
@@KerryTarnow bro you are extremely informative I'm subscribed on 2 of my accounts.
I understand this is supposed to be a faster way to get housing to people BUT if people are only making $10 an hour IF they are lucky how are they supposed to afford a SMALL home like this? That is like 645 dollars a square foot! INSANE! What about those of us that are OLD, on social security, that just want a small place for us and NOT have to move in with family or go to a nursing home?
Clearly this is designed by Silicon Valley for their environs and paychecks.
Completely out of touch.
First off, Dena, it's sick that our policy makers aren't thinking about people on restricted incomes, such as yourself. I agree, these prices are insane and no is doing anything to rein in the housing market. It's the wild, wild west and greed rules.
Yeah 540 square feet for almost $400,000 cool idea beautiful but way way too expensive
So expensive. And people think I.T.H is expensive. Whew.
People think ITH is expensive!?
That price is ridiculous
Thanks for the videp.
Ridiculous crazy pricing !!! Who builds a 400 sq ft $400k+ ADU behind their $450k 2500 sq ft home. Not reality at all. For that price I can buy a 2500 sq ft home on its own land. I guess these are for rich folks only.
What irks me is the price barely discounts what a whole house would cost even given California's housing market. It's insulting. Add that manufactured homes have limited resale value no matter who makes it. Pffft
3:42
me likey. but me no likey da pricey. Maybe I'll build my own
Thanks for watching!
