- Опубликовано: 16 мар 2024
- Connect Homes had their 460 square foot Prefab Home known as the Connect 1 at the international builders show in Las Vegas. I have been following Connect Homes for a couple years now and they have been dropping a lot of exciting news lately including a new factory and a new product line. It was great to be able to see one of their units in person to get a feel for what they're doing and how they're doing it. I also had a chance to chat with one of the co founders. Watch and learn more about Connect Homes and what separates them from others in the space.

Starting at 255K is absurd!! You can find a stick built home for far less in many states, not to mention the company Boxabl coming in with a starting price around 50K. For 255K it better include delivery and set up but I'm sure it does not. That being said the house itself isn't bad but that price is crazy.
Agreed.
Or your average 1500 - 2000 sq modular or mobile home builder. Or a 800-1000 sqf condo. What makes these tiny mobile homes - yes they are essentially mobile homes - THAT much more expensive.
Exactly. You can build a full size 2500 sq foot home for that price.
Boxabl announced that $50k price well before inflation took off…I’d expect it to double or more, my guess is $120k
It should not be 110k .
No words for the price, just laughs
😂😂 yeah the price is wild
A big joke 😂😂
I am in the market for something like this for our family "get away" home. This price has to be a joke. There are other prefab type homes that are in the $35-55k range base. This is basically a premium mobile home without wheels. I have no idea who the customer base at these prices. Anyone who could drop $300k is going to custom build or get a contractor proper.
Floor to ceiling glass is great, but big screen TV above couch where you can't watch?
That’s what the glass wall is for. You just have to learn to read backwards.
Or move the couch?? It's just placement for a show.
@@tg360andbeyond but you would be in the path of the hallway thus interrupting flow....
@phillyvoodoo why not put thw couch there....every inch counts and I'm not giving up about 36 inches so I can have a straight walk to the kitchen. Don't think of it as a hallway. It's the kitchen that you walk through to get to the bedroom.
@@MDQDZINE Speaking as a designer, it's just bad design and balance.... the front door is on the same side so you basically have to walk in and maneuver around the couch to get to your bedroom...... This is what designers think about in the early planning stages
255k OMG WAY TOO EXPENSIVE allthough their pro two at 170k is ok but their prices need to come down a lot before this becomes a good option!! WHO IS BUYING THESE?!?!?!
The Biden administration provides support to undocumented immigrants at taxpayers' expense.
Nobody…. And here is the main problem with this channel… we are looking for a company to disrupt home building… these companies are ANYTHING but innovative… anyone can build a high-end 14x60 prefab home that is “off the hook” at $500-$600 dollars a square foot
No way to watch the tv while sitting on the sofa. Bathroom should be accessed from the Master bedroom? No dining area.
That's a good idea to make the hallway part of the kitchen so there is not really wasted space.
No hallway needed. Kitchen should be part of living room / dining room. Narrow kitchen is claustrophobic and space-limited.
I'll say it, cause we're all thinking it. Starts at 556/sq ft. Outside cost of land. Transportation? Site prep? Set up?
That huge tv in the living room is useless.
Exactly
I love sitting on my couch, listening to my TV above me.
Haha
You're only allowed to watch at night by looking at the reflection in the windows
That’s the first thing I noticed, you sit on the sofa with tv behind you. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄
The price is so high you have to question the intelligence of the people pricing these things. There is no question for the buyers...
Hmmmmm. Nice idea. Great focus toward the clients. The price is quite high. It will be interesting to see their next iteration. Thanks for the video. Great job!
Thanks for watching John!
They have a few versions on the website. The prices get increasingly ridiculous. The lowest 2bd model is $405k 😂
I would try a projection screen over the automatic blinds (that I would add) for the TV and use the wall for art and family pictures ❤ I'd prefer to go to the bathroom from the bedroom, especially to avoid night time injuries, but the set up seems good enough.
I like the compact water shared space and hall way of the kitchen bathroom with w/d at the end in the bedroom. " we let the windows be customizable" is a great feature also. Great interview- thanks Kerry!
shivering black bell thumbs up and heart!
Great tour and interview with the builder ! 👍
Thanks Dale, glad you enjoyed it
This is another great small house design. Your videos have been really helpful. In regards to affordability, I have been looking at all kinds of tiny house options and $200k to $250k is generally the price range I've found. Ultimately, we are getting the Casa del Ceilo from Palm Harbor. It's 499 square feet 1+1 for under $100k. This includes WUI, snow load and wind rating upgrades, aesthetic upgrades, and delivery. Kerry included it briefly in one of his older videos.
Casa del Ceilo does look pretty good. I also like what Wolf Industries are building for about the same price.
Congratulations!
Thanks Kerry. Undoubtedly one of the best homes I’ve seen. A bit pricey, but the concept is great. I’d like to see more, larger and without a concomitant price change. Thanks again.
Great to hear that they have already delivered to Connecticut. Just one state away from me.👍
I love the rendering of the two story pro series. I’ll have to check out the floor plan and pricing on that one. Connect Homes is an exciting company.🤩
The home on display has a really good quality interior. The bathroom is top notch. The kitchen seems to have it all. I’m sure the Dunkin Donuts is not included. But I wouldn’t complain if it was.😋
You’re totally spoiling us with these walkthroughs every video Kerry. Thank you. It’s so enjoyable to watch.😎
I love this tiny! The windows are fabulous. Layout is great. Looks like it has everything. Didnt see laundry equipment but I might have just missed it.
Hi Alice, glad you like it! They didnt have the laundry at the show but the plan does show it in the nook in the bedroom
Thank you for making these videos!
Thanks for watching
Don't understand the TV location in the living room, couch is oriented to the windows, TV behind?
I like your videos. Even if the homes aren’t for me, it’s nice seeing what companies are doing with small spaces. The thing that stood out to me besides the price; where do you sit to watch tv? It was behind the couch.
Awesome man! Thank you!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching
Always love your attitude and content. Great research and work editing. @@KerryTarnow
I love that tiny home kerry
The reverse shot was hilarious 😂
I'm not a fan of the floor plan - especially that you can't get into the bathroom without going back put through the kitchen and living room. I do like the front porch, even though it is small. Also, their base price is way over my budget. I've still got my eye on the Metaligna/Craft Modular Medio.
Thank you for the feedback 🙌🏼
Im actually setting a mobile home and its arounds 140-150 the costs including the mobile home delivery and set up. You really have to look around and call independent contractors to get the job done. Dont go through a company they over charge and have to oay their workers. Independent contractors do it themselves.
Thanks, Kerry! I’m wondering if the connect series can be had with a tilted roof, correctly tilted for solar panels?
Kerry, the best thing I can say about these homes, besides looking good, is they will come to the SE. 🤦🏼♀️
They’ll go across the country
Yes, the floor plan is exceptional, especially having a "functional hallway" as the kitchen. It would be perfect if sited on something 6 acres or more, or looking into a back yard with the remaining 3 side of the property filled with a wall of trees, tall bushes, and other plants. Maybe it's that I've been a city-apartment-dweller for the past 39 years, but there's too many windows for my private self, plus I need more wall space for furniture. I would reduce the square footage of windows on the the "window wall" side of the house to half, or less, the existing window square footage.
I thought that. was a very good well in-depth interview kerry
Thank you!
I'm intrigued by the design aspect on all models. Pricey though... still enjoyed seeing what's out there!
Kerry, thanks for sitting down and talking with one of the cofounder. That really helps understand them. This is very nice house, nicely layout and some impressive finishes. They will probably have to sit down and rethink their pricing once other companies start rolling out homes. Other companies that you have featured seem to offer more home, better amenities for a better price. I greatly recommend they sit down and watch a lot of your informative videos! And also, “hit like, subscribe and turn on notifications!” 😂
But seriously you do a great thorough job!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the convo, I agree it’s a great way to learn more about the company
The reversed video at 5:00 is hilarious!
Haha! Was wondering if anyone would notice 😆
I noticed it also.
How do you know that the people weren't actually walking backwards ? Some of us can actually do that without falling down. 😏😉
I would like to see someone other that the man in the video hop backwards into a pickup truck like he did.
@@KerryTarnow I thought you were moonwalking at first
I love the floor to ceiling glass❤
Glad to hear it!
Was liking it until I got bowled over by the cost and not in a good way. What happened to the USD$75,000-$125,000 price range and by no means is that cheap?
I mean no disrespect by this, but world are you living in where these would cost $75-125k? Materials, labor, storage, transportation, connection to a foundation, all of that has to be factored in. Square footage alone doesn't determine pricing. I hope prefabs get more affordable down the line without a sacrifice in quality materials, but I'm not holding my breath on any of them being "cheap".
@@MuShinnenNone taken. In the past 2 yrs he has featured tiny houses/prefab in that price range and some more 'tricked-out'. However, once they come to market, it seems that the prices are significantly more. 2 yrs ago, the higher-end ones were like USD$125,000 but no anymore.
@@eventconsultants7010 Cost of materials have gone up in most sectors unfortunately. I know because I've been planning on building my own house.
Lumber for instance has come down since the pandemic was at its' worse, but it's still higher than pre pandemic times. Same with shipping containers, wiring for electrical etc. Even if you buy in bulk with contractor discounts it's gone up.
I think a lot of companies are taking advantage of the fact they know their materials don't have much competition, so it drives up prices everywhere.
@@MuShinnen not including land cost, you could easily build this for below $200/sf in most of the country.
@@OxfordPropertyManager Unlikely.
Very nice! Thank for sharing Kerry. Would be nice to have the smart glass windows like the bathrooms in Japan.
Thanks for tuning in! 🤝
The first issue I see is the tv is above the couch because the opposite wall is all glass. You could put one on the small wall between the kitchen and bathroom, but thst limits the size.
how is the insulation and heating though? Cold up here in new england weather.
Great design. Great for a lake house
Absolutely
I am always surprised by the costs, which are consistently higher than I expect. In exurban North Central Ohio I suspect I could have a new home built on site for considerably less, and certainly the market includes existing homes that, with some improvement and upgrades, would still be half this cost. I admit, I am not presently in the market for a home and my expectations may be skewed, but there you have it.
Cooling that greenhouse, I mean home, must be fun.
Kerry I like your channel on prefab homes. Could you compare a 600 sq foot prefab and a 600 sq foot built by a local building contractor? I agree with your other viewers 255k just sounds like a lot for this square footage.
Kerry, his name is Kerry. Nice to see that I’m not the only one with the name that no one seems to be able to get right. I do think these modular homes are over priced Kerry but if you have the day over they are definitely nice.
I like the beginning shots. "It's Kerry... After Dark." (Must be read out loud to make sense.)
Haha
Ya have to love how they mounted the tv behind the couch in their model….🤔
Love the folks walking backwards. How did you get them to do that?
Also, great home. Thanks for going to see these units
Haha! The magic of cinema 😆
Are the windows tornado safe?
Can two units be placed back to back to make a larger one?
Connect has been building homes in my nrighborhood for several years. I didnt consider the company for my ADU since i would have had to hire my own contractor to do the installation.
❤🏡❤ They have a great user friendly website.
Hey Kerry, is there shows opened to the regular public or just investors and reporters?
This was open to anyone, they have it every year.
@@KerryTarnow That's awesome to hear. And thank you for answering my questions. I've been a fan of yours for a while now. I became a fan of these types of houses 🏘/ buildings a few years ago by watching a show , called, "My Flat Pack Home ". That's originally from England. Online. And I instantly became curious and a fan of these types of homes/ buildings for extra living space or whatever you may need for. And you keep me up-to-date with the latest models and upgrades they do. And I'm so glad that they're available now here in the U.S. Can't wait until they're available in P.A.
This house is nice looking, but I think the layout has some wasted space for the midsection. The kitchen items should just be moved to the edges of the living space and the living space should be expanded. Otherwise, looks great! They should make a garage to go with it that has an extra bedroom connected to it.
forget the backsplash, check out that box of donuts!
🤤
Hey Kerry “ Nice…But, The Price…Not So Nice…While The Windows May create a Bigger Feel…Fact is…It’s Not any Bigger…A Pass For Me…And, Thanks for sharing with us…Poncho C St
How do you watch the large tv above the sofa? (SAME How do you watch that tv in the bedroom?)
Wonderful videos! Great interviews with companies and factory tours.
I think this company is missing the mark a bit in terms of affordability. Sure it's relative, but their prices don't seem to be for the median American. Are they trying to position themselves as the luxury (not affordable) of modular?
Groovy.
My thoughts exactly
Comes with Kerrys regionally famous Nachos😂
Haha, its a small region
This looks great but Are there any prefab expos in Canada you can attend?
Ive got some Canada trips coming!
The floor to ceiling windows do let in lots of light but I think I would feel like I was living in a fish bowl.
I guess it wouldn't be bad in the kitchen area but if there was just a high window in the living room then you wouldn't have to look behind you when you're on the couch watching TV. 😏
@0:55, I like that the entrance is not straight into the kitchen. That galley kitchen is okay for single person living who is not an ambitious cook. The sink is a good size, so if I was buying this and modications were allowed, I would ditch the dishwasher in favour of an under counter washing machine. @1:34, use the washer/dryer nook for a little more wardrobe space. @1:51, I'm hoping that behind the door is much needed storage space. Nope, it's the mechanicals. @3:31, I like that. It has has a modern, European look. @4:45, is there a reason why the air-conditioning unit is raised off the ground?
Agreeing with the comment below on the crazy price. Most of these small/tiny home manufacturers are on the west coast, where home prices are massive and prices like that seemed to be par for them. When they say "it can be used for the homeless"! Who's going to put a homeless person in a 250k ADU. Regular people have a threshold and I'm sure its much lower the that. I would be surprised if Boxabl increases their price that much. Their mission is catering to the regular folks.
The tax payer is going to pay $400,000 each to set up a trial homeless "neighborhood" with these homes. Connect is going to get a multi-multi million dollar state contract to build them, then connect is going to fold while the founders and C levels walk away millionaires. Yes, this type of things absolutely happens. That is the ONLY way I see this as a viable business plan.
That would be a cool house if it sold for $125,000.
Thanks for watching
$255k !!! For 460sq feet!!😮 Are you f-in serious! You can buy a real house, 4 times larger for this price!
What happened to affordability!!
It’s never existed in these tiny modulars. Seems like around $500 +/- a square foot is standard. Apparently the west coast is the only target market for all of these companies.
@@juleswins3 well, he has featured other houses in the 55k to 160k range, some nicer than this one, which frankly resembles a regular mobile home with lots of windows 😄
What are the details for installing on land no connect to an ADU property? Off grid, on grid?
I mean, I think we get the fact that the availability of homes is increasing, but the devil is in the details.
Who do we go to to get running water, sewage installation, and all the things you would get if a regular Stix bldg., get. Whether on a grid or off. Van you speak on that in deyail?
HA! CONNECT, JUST MENTIONED THEM A DAY AFTER YOUR LAST POST .. LOOKS LIKE FLAT PACK BUILDING! RIGHTEO!
Still out of youtube jail?? Nice!
Me likey. 🎉 Very badassy!
Glad to hear it
I d put a door where washer and dryer is from bedroom to bathroom and reconfigure the bathroom shower to sink wall...even if smaller...
"A little more badass" should be their hashtag
Haha that would be awesome
Insulation? 👀
That much for that small of a space?
where can I see the prices of all the lines that are available?
On their website
It’s not an argument, do what makes you happy. It was just a comment of my use opinion.
Peace
From the outside, it looks like the offices they use for every sleazy used car lot in Colorado😀
Thanks for watching
Who chose the location for the flatscreen TVs? Neither one is in an optimum location or the furniture needs to be moved around in both the living room & bedroom.
Wasnt me
If that place starts at 255 we’re doomed. I would not invest in this company
at $255,000.00, they should call it Disconnect prefab home!!
So what is the advantage with this type of home if it starts at $255,000?
Virtue signaling about your small footprint, lol 😂
and you watch the TV in the living room through the reflection of the sliding glass doors?
Yeah
There is a prefab cabin on winona,MN fb marketplace,$79,000 .
Nice!
Did Kerry just say $255K for that shack at the end of the video?!?!? Did he say that?!?!? $255K!?!?! Really!?!?! Really!
I like the home; I hate washing windows. There must be a happy medium somewhere.
Haha never thought of that…
Starts at $255,800 for 460 sf
That’s friggin hilarious who the hell would buy that thing😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ooof
No table though. Where do you eat the nachos?
Haha on the couch 🛋️
Must be nice,mahalo
Haha
Only a Mother could watch tv in the living space because we all know they have eyes In the back of their heads.
Haha 😂
255K You having a laugh!
the new American dream: Living in a trailer.
Thanks for watching
ffs for that price you can buy a 3/4 bedroom two story mc manshion in texas
I can save you all time from having to watch this, they start at 255k
I like the backwards portion with the guy jumping onto the truck backwards! 😅 It is a nice model and very cool, but for too much $$$ Not affordable.
LMAO, at that price ima just sleep in my car
👍
👊🏻
Like the look, like the layout, don't like the price. More affordable for who? And i agree, the tv in the living room is useless. Oh yeah, kept seeing the Boxsble flag, any updates on what's going on with them?
This is from their design series. The pro series will be their more affordable option. First one is under construction now
@@KerryTarnow i look forward to seeing the pro line and pricing. Thanks for the video.
Absurd pricing!!! Contractor stick built in Northern Michigan would be $275-$325 per square foot for the average home, and you'd be able to get exactly what you want!
IN AUSTRALIA????
These are in the USA
Great inside and those huge windows, but those white panels outside are a mistake. That make it look like a cheap mobile home.
Outrageously expensive! There are many other ADUs for the same size and features for $30,000 - $100,000.
Thank you for the feedback Eric
255k loooool i built this for 20-30k but better
Interesting layout but I can't believe that they had the ugly breaker box out in the open. It would be much nicer to hide it in the closet or somewhere else. For that price you would think that they would have been more creative. At least hide it under a painting or something.
Floor to ceiling Windows!
I guess they think everyone is an exhibitionist and everyone driving by is a voyeur ??
I like the home, fact i would purchase it, if the price was more realistic. Who is buying this.
