$220, 000 for a tiny house is RIDICULOUS!!!!
way lot cheeper than home going in my city that are $800,000 and more
Not to mention you get NEXT TO NO LAND. And I bet there are high HOA fees too. You're better off living in a nicer trailer park.
NV girl here. The location has alot to do with the price. Just sayin'.
The location dictates a huge chunk of the price... it is located in the downtown area which pretty much explains it. I come from the Philippines which is a 3rd world country but houses near the Downtown areas/CBD's/Financial Districts can cost an average minimum of $1,000,000 USD which can go all the way up to $10,000,000 USD... but the great thing about the Philippines is that there's a huge gap between rich, middle-class and poor which means we have a great diversity in housing options... you can buy a decent house for $80,000 to $100,000 USD... we also have low cost housing which can cost $20,000 USD or even less, again, depending on the location.
You could build and sell it for less than half that in Ohio.
Not a miniature price. The whole purpose for me to buy smaller is “smaller mortgage and smaller utility bills ! This does not make any sense to me .
Well put because it doesn't make sense to me either it's just silly little lady at 60 years old now has a brand new mortgage that doesn't make sense either
It's possible she sold a larger house and was able to buy this smaller house outright. STILL, I'd rather buy something outright for $100K and put the other $120K in the bank.
Remember, it is all about location. Video even said the average home in Reno is $400k. Obviously in the Midwest, people can't understand those prices.
@Anita Blunt You can get an Oak Creek double wide for under the $100's. I'll take the double wide, thank you.
@Anita Blunt You can buy a small lot to put it on.
I'd like to see communities of AFFORDABLE tiny homes, like mobile home parks. With a convenience store, club house and pool and maybe even a post office. Self contained, perfect for retirees and older single folks. I'd buy one.
A way too MUCH money, these people who sell these homes are ripping people off.
The average house costs almost $300,000 in Reno. Western cites have very different housing markets.
@@3506Dodge if the average cost is $300k for an average home, the tiny home with less than half the sq space should run $100k max.
Baby Boo big time! Charge more because it’s a trend now! Ridiculous
@@flamingpieherman9822 At least $150K they are not a charity, but $220K does seems steep..
flamingpie herman Isn’t the catch cry supposed to be “Location, location, location?” How can you generalise about housing costs unless every factor, other than size, is equal?
Stupid price
Sorry after reading comments I agree what a rip. Try cutting the price in half.
It's a downtown location in Reno, Nevada. $200,000 would probably get you a nice McMansion on the Northside here in San Antonio where I currently live.
130k ?
These customers are being ripped off.
This is what I want to do in my city but the Mayor won't have any of it. I spoke to another builder recently and he wanted to do the same and she said no to him as well. Between both of us we could have created over 20 tiny homes that would be under $100K with land, but got shut down.
Find a city that will allow it, don't give up on your dream.
yes.. do not give up. where is this place?
My house in Philadelphia is for sale for $225k. 5 bedroom single house, 2 full bathrooms, 6,000 square foot property that sits on 2 lots. People are nuts.
That is very low price . Where I live in cali 225k will buy is a 1 bedroom in a bad area , no garage and probably 900 Sq feet .. ...
$225k. can't even get you a condo in Seattle or Bellevue area.
You both get to enjoy amazing weather at least lol. I plan on heading west in the near future, I'm not a fan of east coast winters.
@@HDVisionsMedia you are correct , the weather is truly amazing . I feel like we pay for the great weather . There was a report recently released , it stated a yearly income of 100k is considered low income here in the Bay Area . That totally blew my mind . On the plus side of that is here in the Bay Area there are several professions paying at least 100k - Living comfortable in Cali , it's important to have a skilled trade or a Degree of some kind.
You are so correct Jessie . I am in the position to sell my home and damn near pay cash with money left over on a home in Florida , Texas , NC, Colorado , Arizona etc... I’m close to retirement and look often at other properties ... I’ve come to realize ‘ we pay for the weather’ .. I just took a bike ride at the Marina in crop pants and lightweight jacket . I had a tank top on while I was putting my up my Christmas lights ... The climate and weather conditions throughout the country truly scare me , also racism is a huge factor , we are so diverse here in the Bay Area . However , if we choose to snowboard in the winter months , we drive 2. 5 hours to the beautiful Sierra Mountains .. It’s almost perfect .. sometimes we don’t get enough rain resulting in drought conditions . Just filled up my car with gas = 3.88 per gallon , a yearly income of 100k is considered Low Income , meaning people can qualify for government aid if they make up to 100k .. I would love to move out of California but where ...
Apparently they don't use Zillow because I found 20 properties twice the size at less than 200k. That is scary price for such a small space and just like the crash 10 yrs ago tjose poor people will have a house worth half the purchase price in the future and the builder will have laughed all the way to the bank.
Maybe becauce the good quality of furniture n equipment comes with it 👍
They clearly don't want houses twice the size. What part of downsizing did you miss? And I doubt you found houses in Reno for 200k.
Elle Keener I doubt it? Check Zillow yourself then. I live in Reno and when he made the comment, and even now a year later he’s still right. You’re not sleeping 5 feet from the neighbors and have an actual house with land. Reno ain’t Vegas or la, this is NOT a good deal.
The best way to less than 50 k dollars. 10 k dollars to 50 k dollars are fair price.
You will pay more because its free trade and capitalism and them telling you its a fair price for a new small home trend.
I WISH THEY WERE MORE AFFORDABLE LIKE IN 49,000 FOR A SINGLE MOTHER THIS IS IDEAL
Would be great for you but a great loss for the builder.
Unfortunately, a neighborhood of $49K houses will turn into a slum/'hood VERY quickly. If houses are priced low, you get low-income residents who will not upkeep the house. That's what happens. In fact, those $220K prices -- which we are all complaining about -- is the ONLY thing keeping this enclave in Reno from turning into a trash park.
Build one.
@@fazdoll Aren't some small houses communities have a system to decide wich can live with them or not to avoid possible criminals and such?
This would also be a great price for us single dads too.
First, they aren't "tiny houses." It has to be 400 sq ft or under to be labeled "tiny." And no retiree should be spending $220K to "fit her budget."
THAT IS EXPENSIVE FOR RETIREE'S UNLESS THEY ARE JUST LOADED WITH MONEY... HERE IN TEXAS YOU COULD BUILD THAT FOR LESS THAN 70,000 YOU CAN BUY A MANSION FOR THAT PRICE HERE IN TEXAS... LOL.. I WOULD NEVER PAY THAT AT ALL..
fazdoll I love how people like to decide what’s right food other people
They are technically "Small" homes. And rather nice. You're right, they don't fit the tiny house size classification.
fazdoll maybe the retired person has a big budget
There is NO "official tiny house size." The average house size for new construction in the US is 2200 square feet. As this is 70% smaller than average, it definitely qualifies as tiny.
This is nice but My house is bigger then this but cost less then this , I even have my own back yard smh 🤦♀️
They call that Affordable Housing???
@Andres Leon ugghh...really???
@Andres Leon you dont know math
I'm Reno it is 😂
Tiny homes cost about 25-70k.
YES, YES, YOU CAN BUILD A BEAUTIFUL TINY HOUSE FOR THE MONEY YOUR TALKING ABOUT 20 TO 70 THOUSAND... HERE IN TEXAS ...
@@gailkohr5771 Tennessee arkansas too
@@gailkohr5771 exactly i lived in San Antonio .it was like that , according to an individual budget. Here in florida its very hard.And the salaries are way lower.Unless youre loaded.
Plan on building my own soon don’t want to work for a home my whole life
The cost of just buying a parking lot in the downtown core must have been expensive. These are small homes, not tiny homes. While the price point may seem high to some, it is all about location and the fact that all these homes have upgraded creature comforts. With the cost of the average home in my city at $400,000, $220,000 seems like a bargain for downtown.
For $220,000 I can buy a city block in Messina NY and do the same but really make it affordable.
I can't believe how expensive it has become in Reno now days.
Ok but Google Maps can't even find Messina NY on the map. I'm guessing you're comparing a small rural town to a booming metro city. Try driving about 1.5 hours to the nearest airport and see what the home prices are there.
Reno homes have become very expensive! And these homes are very nice with the best appliances and finishes. I lived in Phoenix, Arizona when downtown was being renovated and made residential. Those homes were mostly loft spaces, all the best luxury finishes and appliances, like these. They were purchased mostly by people who worked downtown and had a higher than median income. (Think attorney, doctor, nurse, museum curator, cpa, managers, etc.) While getting the homes built and sold, the city was making enough money to clean up the downtown area with beautiful parks and other amenities. Shopping and event venues moved in, special free buses/shuttles that stayed in downtown, etc. The result is a beautiful, vibrant, urban center. Reno is doing much the same. Many places they need to go will be within walking distance, groceries banks, post office, medical care, library. Everyone will use these new city amenities! The entire city will benefit! These homes aren't any more expensive than any any other home of the same, relative size. But what the buyers will eventually get in the city will hike up the value of their purchase in a major way. These people are making a wise decision buying these homes!
Messina must be in the hood.
@@TheresaPowers Messina is not in the hood. Messina is in the sticks. The nearest job is 90 minutes away in Ottawa, Canada. Yeah.
After buying that, you will have a tiny house with a tiny bank account.
😂😂😂 .Theres cities and state that its easier to provide an affordable roof
The most important.is a live...
w23857980 - true or would you rather have a big home and no bank account🤔
At least your house payment won't keep rising like rent!
Depends how much you had in your bank account to begin with. For a lot of people this would be affordable. It is a good option compared to only having large houses you can't afford without renting out rooms. Who wants to manage roommates in retirement?
Still too expensive
What! 😳🤔 $220,000???? For a tiny house?! No thanks.
Yeah it should be like half that
You can get a regular sized house with that Money lol
I can get a mansion in Texas for that
@@YourGrace_06
Feels like they are paying extra to be PC.
B uppy wish I could afford to be pc then ! Lol
after you get fleeced buying your tiny home, you can spend the rest down the street at the casino;
next stop: tent city?
lol
😃😃😃
if older folks and the disabled are to live in these homes, they need to consider one floor only. i dont know any retiree who moves to a place with stairs; they move into one story condos or trailer parks. nevermind folks in wheelchairs who'd be subjugated to the bottom floor.
Right on point. Im 50, and do not desire stairs. What would a retiree want with a set of stairs.
They could have stairlift installed if needed.
Jamaican Girl they’re expensive and not appropriate or all disabilities. And, no help for ppl in wheelchairs especially those with mitochondrial dysfunction that wastes a lot of their daily energy just trying to get upstairs. I couldn’t manage it with my disabilities. Many folks def need one floor. This is why disabled housing is always on one floor. Too many barriers otherwise.
single-level houses need more land, and as we see here, most of the price is in the land. At best, they could build some garden-style 2-3 story flats with elevators. But then, it wouldn't be "cute."
The second floor is just a guest bedroom or something like, the rest of the house including main bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, bath are all in the ground floor anyways
Why in the world would this cost $220k??? That's insane! Where I live I can get a 3000 sq ft home, 3-4 bedrooms, 2+ bathrooms, 3 car garage and granite counter tops, etc...for this price. I'm gonna pick the big house.
You're forgetting that we're near or at the top of the 'bubble' and in an major city experiencing high growth and companies moving nearby. There is a demand. You're also forgetting that these are not 'Tiny Houses' which are typically off grid and independent. These units are tied into the system which means infrastructure. Infrastructure such as underground piping, electric, and sewer and also grading the lot, and concrete foundations and sidewalks etc. costs money. This project was more than 10 tiny houses rolled onto a parking lot.
You're missing the point. Not everyone wants a big house. I myself intentionally sold a 1700 sqft house in favor of downsizing to a tiny home. Bye bye insanely high property taxes!
ME TOO AND THE DIFFERENCE I SAVE I CAN HIRE SOMEONE TO DO THE YARD AND COME CLEAN THE HOUSE ONCE AND A WHILE HERE IN TEXAS WHERE I LIVE...
@@ginnymiller2448.. yes I get the desire to downsize .. but a tiny small house like this should not cost 220k .. I would hate that location , it's dirty and disgusting with a ton of homeless. Basically it looks like a glorified trailer park . I'm with you , no thank you .
But I don't want to live in Alaska.
Over 200k ! ..this is PSYCHOTICALLY EXPENSIVE for these homes .. I was expecting MAYBEEE 85K .. I am looking for ideas to build something like this in my backyard for my elderly Mom - I already have a standing “ work shed “ - I will need to expand the exsisting space to add bedroom and bathroom area for her ..
Kimikim Inurface Putting mom in a converted shed....pure class....is the lawnmower in her bedroom?
I have to agree with David Ramsey..People when start to use to much credit tend to become stupid
Kimikim Inurface I would expect under $100k. They certainly are nice with the details within and you’re not sharing walls. I couldn’t afford it. There should be little communities like this that are nice but affordable.
$220K is outrageous. You can buy a mansion with that in North Dakota.
Franco R nobody wants to live in North Dakota.
You can be the richest guy in my country :)
Ouch, price tag, Ouch!!!
200k for that!??? Wayyy too expensive.
Why, why does it cost so damn much....thats doesnt make and SENSE. 220,000...really people..
It's called greed - by nasty looking women. Glad ppl in the comments aren't being fooled
Vera Technical Translation and Writing I agree, however buyers have agreed to buy into their greed. They apparently found this acceptable. Just think if no one bought them maybe the prices would have dropped, it’s happens all the time with builders. I think this is nuts and I’m from Cali.
Well it’s prob the location. But I agree. Why is everything costing so much, the US can’t catch up to these prices.
Call the city of Dallas to see if a permit can be granted to build some here...we need these tiny homes....
Love the idea but $ 220,000. That's outrageous!
The purpose is to save money, but not to spend all if your money on building a tiny house.
At most those houses take 20k to build
The land cost has to be at least a million alone. Split amongst 10 that's 100,000 just to be in the city. You really don't know how property works, do you.
@@Paffy But do the buyers own the land? Or Is this a Co-op type of ownership? Maybe a Trailer Park type of situation?
$220,000 is too much for a Tiny home. 450 sq. feet 😒
I wish there was a laughing reaction emoji. Those homes NOT including land probably cost between 50 and 80 thousand dollars to build. It's crazy how uneducated and ignorant people can be.
@@alexanderkucinich3753 you're right I wasn't taking the land ownership into consideration I'm just talkin about house it self. I was looking at alot tiny home videos to get ideas for my own. I ended up building mine out of concrete for 60k.
Yeah, so why do they cost over $200k? My 4 bedroom home in Cincinnati isn’t much more than that.
We need these in Baltimore for single working moms or dads, but not at that price
$220,000 is 3 times the amount I paid for my house. I have 1300 square foot house with 4 acres. Plenty of room to move around. Not bunched up like this.
4 ACRES BETTER HAVE GOATS OR CATTLE THATS A LOT OF MOWING .
@@rayt5520 yes it is. At least I don't have to hear my neighbor fart lol
which state & area are you located. Thanks for the info
@@boerbol9422 Arkansas. Just look in just about any of the small towns. I live in a small town. Little Rock is about an hour from where I live . So is hot springs and hour from where I live.
@@johnhorton9637 Thank you sir
That’s nearly $490 per square foot! Insane!
These homes are gorgeous, however, $220,000 for a tiny house is outrageous. They apparently did not research this, did not watch HGTV's line-up of tiny house shows. But then again, they are in a downtown location.
Absolutely wonderful. Now make it more affordable.
When she said $220,000, all the appeal went out the door.
Too expensive I can buy a $220,000 regular size home in like Waco Texas.
Of course you can, but then you have to LIVE in Waco, Texas!
love these homes, prices a little steep for what they are but love them for me and my hubby..perfect
I will just build my tiny home that will be mobile and would cause me only 11,000
record it for us
On Hawaii's "Big Island" I was offered a 400 sq. ft. "Cabin" on 3 acres for $100,000! Whats an airconditioner?
Brooks Anderson I don’t think you can own land in Hawaii though...
I have a 2400 sq ft home in Califirnia brand new for 285k , those are a total RIP off
Angela Gojilde - I sincerely ask, what town are you in?
Even in San Antonio, a downtown living space is pretty much the same. The closer to downtown you are the more you pay, supposably for convenience. Even though downtown has only 1 grocery store, no laundry and no dry cleaners.
@@AliasHSW we live in Menifee
Angela Gojilde cool what county?
Angela Gojilde oh hey me too! :D
The Houses Are Cute, But Way Too Overpriced! I Don't Care Where They're Located, $220K is too much money for 650 sq.ft. Of Anything, Anywhere... These Homes Should Be Less Than $100k (and that's at the top end!)
That price is insane!! You could move to Texas and get a big house for that price!!
Or a double wide for $80K or less.
The Tiny House with the BIG price tag.
Ellen, is that you ?
ABSOLUTELY love this!!!
This reminds me of the type houses you built when American 1st landed in the USA on ships and had to hurry up and build a few houses before winter
This lot with tiny homes is screaming for more greenery, edible perrenial bushes and fruittrees.
What I find to be, although I love the idea, is the price per square foot is redicoulus.
Living in downtown Reno- a dream come true.
These are the biggest tiny homes ive ever seen. Very nice
I'm not sure why they are called tiny homes at this size. They are just small (micro homes)
The point of a tiny home is to save money and be economical. 220k for that house which sits 5' from another is ridiculous.
There are a lot more reasons to buy a tiny home than to save money. Some people want to have a great location and be close to the action. Others (like myself) don't want to own or maintain spaces that won't get used...so a small space is perfect. I live in a small apartment right in Seattle. It's more money and less space than I've ever had...but I love the location and I wake up every day happy to be here.
Erica Gamet there are more reasons but are any of them really that important compared to the price? Living downtown puts you closer to drug problems and drunk shitheads walking around at night. The price may be only 1 out of 10 considerations but for MOST people should mean as much as the other 9 combined
What about the value of community and location?
I think you should live in Tokyo or Hongkong to truly understand what is a tiny house means. This houses are big enough, even by Indonesian standard. By japanese standard? It's huuggeeee ❤
I love this idea!
I would love a house like that. Not to much but also not to little. I know I will not be able to afford a house any time soon, maybe if I’m lucky in the next 20 years when I’m in my 40s I might. Housing is just ridiculous now a days. I love tiny houses for the fact it can be more affordable to those who can’t afford much. Gives me hope sometime in future I can have a house one day ☺️
I live in reno. This is a laughable way to spend 200k. These were built a couple of years ago when housing was incredibly tight (still not great) the selling point to these is their proximity to a district called midtown-renos attempt to have a small foodie, artist area. They're on a couple of heavily trafficked roads and close to a pretty sketchy area. These are a joke on a cost per square foot basis, plus your neighbors are pretty much up your ass. But, hey, the builder recognized the tiny home trend and pulled it off.
I am so glad you commented on this...how are they holding up after a number of years
@@sharonmccoy4535 in what respect?
A nurse with higher than median income? Think again.
@@greengirl-kr1vf was this for this thread?
so what happens when you get a bad neighbor. Every one suffers, and every one knows your business. They cost to much to.
this is for me in a few years.. omg... i wanna live there.. i need to live there...i love reno's landscape and setting..
I love this concept.
That little community should start an edible garden
Those are not tiny homes
This is so awesome

I love your philosophy! People said it couldnt be done so you went right ahead and did it! I love this concept.Were I there I'd be into one right away! Reno seems like a lovely place, Jason Aldean's idea of small town looking after its own seems perfect description here. Power to you, ladies, you are appreciated!
Shut up
I love ❤️ this video!!! I wish they would do something like this in New Jersey!!! I would buy one!!! 🤗😘💗
i agree in canada
It’s all about location. I think they are gorgeous. And what does a 60simetging year old lady want or need with a bunch of land? I think they are gorgeous
Well, consider that some of us 60's something year old ladies like to garden, grow fruit trees, sit under the shade instead of using air conditioning, raise a few rabbits and chicken, and not curl up in a ball and die....I like land!
@@SandcastleDreams So fine! Go for it! As my mum used to say, "There's a lid for every pot!"
someone needs to do this in Idaho!
Beautiful homes, perfect size. It’s perfect 👌 love ❤️.. thank you for video
The price is not excessive. Excessive is purchasing a $400,000 McMansion in an isolated suburb with numerous empty rooms, two vehicles and seldom used yards. Having lived in a suburban McMansion and much smaller city places....give me the inspiration of the city ANY day.
Nice concept..but it's not really tiny or that affordable. $220k is the cost of a regular house..unless cost of living is real high in Reno! I'd prefer to see options like these without all the fancy furnishings included. If people can choose their own appliances, that may reduce costs. I would have done 8 instead of 10 though...more breathing space.
Happy for those enjoying their space.
great idea!
220,000!!!! God in Idaho I’m grumbling about 140,000 3 bed 2 bath homes.
why hasn't this always been a thing?
Mickey it actually has. People usually put them in their backyards and called them mother in law suites.
I love the tiny home concept and these homes are beautiful but they are NOT worth $220K.
Congratulations!
Excellent idea!!!!
I lived in that area. Am glad to see they finally made a huge litter box for all the feral cats!
Tiny house in us.. British standard
Oversized for French standard
love it!
