Karyn Taylor, if it’s a Craftsman style home purchased from Sears, try around 50-75 years ago. LOL...Knowing that a Sears once sold homes through their catalog is pretty much general knowledge.

"traditional homes take 3-6 months to construct" however "prefab home take roughly 8-10 weeks in the factory and 4-6 weeks on land" ...so nearly the same amount of time for the average home
But like, that's the whole idea of prefab. They're meant to be ready for a customer, otherwise why don't build a house traditionally. So you can say it takes 4-6 weeks only.
It’s not really the same 4 weeks is about a month 6 weeks is a month and a half 8 weeks is two months 10 weeks is 2 months and a half not really the same
I live in a 1948 Sears House - very solidly built! All the 2 bedroom houses in my neighborhood Glenmont, MD were Sears kits. These were post-WWII houses built in DC suburbs to house Federal employees in 2 bedroom starter homes. I love my house, it has been improved by various past owners including me.
That's right, for that money you can spend 100k on renovations on your actual home to increase its value and get a second mortgage and the other 100k put on stocks portfolio.
@Grim Reefer that sounds great, congrats on the hard work. Do you have any register of what you've done so far? You could like totally have a channel about the restoration process of your home. I'd so watch that!
This is not affordable living? I’m struggling to understand the purpose of this video other then advertising for the company. She forgot about pre fab double wide houses that are all over the country. They cost under 15k for over 800 sq feet. Also wolf subzero are elite brands this is more of a house for rich kids who can’t handle living further then the backyard from their parents.
bronwynalexandria lol 60k for a shipping container. That’s like $300 per square foot. Again not affordable nor sustainable. Shipping containers were not designed to house people.
I feel scammed after watching this video lol.... looks like she just wanted to produce some content to make some money and "fuck it i kno this one guy livin on daddy backyard lets film", this surely aint for any1 "normal"... I mean this is nearly the price my beachfront 1 bedroom apartment cost, not quiet but still....
this is a pretty normal price for a kinda old 1 bedroom appartment in my city, for example a 650sq feet one bedroom appartment from 1970 costs $300.000
Remember that the target buyer is a low IQ individual, likely an unmarried woman, white, "spiritual" but an atheist, supporter of socialism, and has a gullible idiot ready to cosign the loan.
@@LexBexify It could be the nicest box, but putting it in LA automatically gives it a negative value. Just like you can make the most delicious lasagna, but your dog takes a shit on it - will you still eat it?
KC Roeder I’m in DC and a 600 sqft 1 bedroom condo from the 60’s with old appliances and bathroom fixtures, that needs some renovations, goes for 250,000 dollars. To get a sense of the value you’d have to compare this to the price of a 400 sqft luxury condo unit in LA. It might seem expensive in absolute terms, but like she said, for what you’re getting, and compared to equivalent options in LA, it’s probably a good value.
Ikea is already building houses, but they are crap. Building description is not precisely defined. Contract clauses disadvantage buyers, especially in the event of construction defects. You can only have it built in defined locations. You should pay for everything even though construction is still underway. Known technical defects, sound insulation, subsequent installation of sockets, for example, not possible. Buyers are bound to a specific energy provider for at least 15 years. www.boklok.com/
“The size of normal houses” NO! That is a mansion wtff. Tiny houses are actually the size of a normal house in the Netherlands.. US houses are like castles to us
Gamer Lily Yeah what? You think most people can afford houses with 5 bedrooms? Those kids are sleeping together 😂 If I search for houses with 5 bedrooms the first 2 I see are $1,6 million and $2.7 million
Well he has a pot in a fridge. That doesn't seem like something they'd put in there if it was just for staging. It's normally just food that makes it aesthetically pleasing.
Her surprised face about the induction cook top Just wondering: Is the concept of using induction for cooking not that common or known in the US? Is it also not common to have a build in fridge? I see a lot of free standing ones but I thought that's just the expansive version
Here in the UK I remember seeing an induction cooker at school, teacher telling us it would be the future, but I don't know anyone who has one so they're kinda rare here. As far as I know you also need special pans for them. As for the built in fridge, seen those before, but I'm not keen on them. For some reason I prefer having the fridge in the open so a lot of people probably feel the same.
@DeadlyButSilent2 the problem is that the government won't let people build cheap housing. Taxes and licences and not allowing anyone to build whatever they want on their land will make housing expensive
@DeadlyButSilent2it's their land. You have no right to tell the what they can and cannot do on their land. Either you believe in total freedom or no freedom. It's called property rights.

"cost of living is to high, so I decided to build a 200k boring tiny house in my parents backyard, without solar panels or anything to be independent. Oh and yes, it required to destroy my parents garage." OK.

@@Csilva857 I should have! I lived in it for a little over a year, I'm currently out of state with my GF in a travel trailer looking for land to build a bigger home and start our future(im 21)
Thats what i thought as well. Kinda weird having this guy explaining induction cooktops, its like having someone exlaining how a toilet or a lightswitch works.
HOUSING IS INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE IT COSTS TOO MUCH SO WE HAVE THIS OTHER OPTION A SMALL HOUSE THAT IS ALSO EXPENSIVE Seriously buying these kind of pre-made tiny houses isnt worth it. The only way this concept really works/ is financially functioning is if you build it yourself. These companies building these houses dont do it because its cheaper for you to live in, they do it because the market is expensive and so they can also be expensive and rip people off. A normal handy person could build a house this size for less than 10 to 30 k depending on what materials youre using. Youre not moving into a tiny house to have it exclusive. Youre doing it to save money and to live simplistic
schnooleheletteletto this will only really work once companies like these get big enough and can be if it from economies of scale to lower their prices
Considered a PreFab as an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) but it didnt give flexibility for where we wanted to run electricity and water. Theyre INCREDIBLY cheaper, but find one that fits all your needs. Some will customize them, but costs go up. Theyre nice!
I lived in a Sears home for almost two decades. Wished I coould have afforded to tear it down and rebuild it in the country. It was extremely well built with beautiful woodwork.
Literally anyone in a trailer park has been doing this since the 60's. These are just fancy looking mobile homes... also know as manufactured houses. Don't get me wrong, that one looks way more legit than a double wide, but when you do the math it's way more expensive too.
The problem with many mobile homes is they are not very mobile. If you try and move one after a decade or so you will likely do a lot of serious damage or have to pay for expensive reinforcement. So the whole concept of moving to a new location is questionable.
jerry kurata the “mobile” part isn’t about moving multiple times like an RV. It refers to the fact that the house was made in a factory and then transported to its destination in the first place. Pretty much exactly what the guy in this video is talking about, but his required more on-site assembly.
I'm really excited for the future of prefab houses. I love to travel 3-4 months a year, so having a small home is ideal for me. However, I will need a small garage as my other hobby is cars lol. I definitely think I could see myself living in something like this in the near future. :)
These are GORGEOUS. I'm not into buying a home but if someone rented a house like this out, I would snag it up in a heartbeat. SO beautiful! And the one in Joshua tree... gurrrrrrl 😍
It's sad thinking I might have to move away from my family because Southern California is so expensive. Most people say "just move!" if you are trying to find a home in California, but some of us were born/raised here and want to stay near our families.
Experiencing the same think living in one of the most expensive cities in Canada. All my family and friends are here, why would I want to move other than the part where I'll have to rent for the rest of my life :(
I gave up my shared room in a 3 bedroom apartment filled with 6 girls in SF for my own room in my childhood home. It can be tough moving back in with your parents if you can, but you’re saving so much money in the long run. Plus, I still get to be with my family and get to live comfortably in California for a discounted price. The thing about moving out of CA is it’s hard to move back in.
finally someone breaks the bad news: prefab costs as much (if not more) than site built, when all costs are accounted for. biggest difference is less waste for prefab
Hi Shelby, I really enjoy your videos and appreciate the time you spend to make them really visually pleasing. That being said, I feel like there wasn't quite enough research put into this topic to truly represent it as a whole. The title makes it seem as though you're going to talk about Tiny Homes in general, but what you're really talking about is pre-fab homes, which are generally MUCH more expensive than tiny homes. I feel like it is detrimental to the movement (which is generally very eco friendly, and awesome in so many other ways) when people see a video that says that tiny homes are generally $150,000 - 300,000, when in reality the average cost of a tiny home is much much lower than that. This might cause people disregard the movement as they think it is too expensive. Just some thoughts! Thanks again for the video!
the fact that induction isnt really a thing in the usa (or at least it seems like it) but so many people have a tesla is so bizarre to me🤔 its actually really interesting to see how different the usa standards are from european countries standards
What country do you live in? I live in the UK and the induction thing is pretty rare to me. I did see one at school about 10 years ago, but I haven't seen one since.
@@sidbrun_ oh really? thats interesting🤔 so im talking central europe. i know that people from germany, austria, slowenia, Czech republic, switzerland, the netherlands and france also mostly have this. i think i saw a gas stove like once in my life in an apartment in italy
AnnaDaA I’m from Belgium and we have both. I prefer newer model of gaz stove over other gaz stoves or induction versions, for me they are the safest. Mine for example you have to twist and push the “button” for it to work and release some gaz. You also have to approche a flame to “light” not sure about the word) the stove. So kids can’t use it by accident. Of course like any other appliance you need to use it as it was designed and maintain/upkeep it. Most accidents happens with older, not well maintained models. In some rare case someone forget to turn it of and wakes up with a mild gaz intoxication. Death by gaz leak is pretty rare nowadays. Hope this helped.
Why would this be better than an apartment? If it's $200,000 not including the land it hardly seems less expensive at the end of the day. It might be a good option as an in-law suite if you have the backyard space.
@Luke Kolarsky The ever-increasing rents at mobile home parks cause many owners to abandon in place. They can't pay the cost of relocation, and the place where they plan to go will charge just as much.
Buy a nice used camper van.. work for 15 yrs.. retire in the Philippines... done Rent..car payment.. insurance.. food.. I have no idea how someone starting out in the workforce does it today. Except when they rent a house between 10 of them... feels like we are stepping back 50 to 100 yrs.
Love this: we need to have the discussion about new home options. 10:45 Here for the new series about alternative living styles. 10:36 Yes, I would live in a prefabricated house.
Looking forward to all the things@@ShelbyChurch , we are all in an extended brainstorming & outlining period. Sending positive vibes your way from NYC.
"So, this is an induction cooktop, you put the pot on, and it heats the pot". That girl was so amazed, wtf i have that induction cooktop since 2004. =)
the guy was explaining little useless stuffs like its something special, and the girl just kept playing along. He said "You are probably wondering where the fridge is" Fuck NO, i wasnt wondering i know it had to be behind one of this big cabinet doors
My challenge is to build a x2 60 square feet houses that can join into 120 square feet, that sit on wheels and can be towed as to completely bypass planning permission laws....
that isnt possible once you add bathroom. living space. you can only have one structure on land to fit that max sqft so no you cant connect 5small sqft buildings lol
That wording @ 7:43 is an example of how content writing in marketing can really make things sound better than they are. "Traditional houses take 3-6 months. Pre-fab homes takes 8-10 weeks in the factory, then 4-6 weeks onsite" (aka 3-4 months).
My husband and I were thinking about getting one of these houses for our daughter so she could have her own little house, when she gets tired of it we can use it as an office or in-law suite. Soo many options!!!
I wish they would have disclosed the actually price of everything: the land, the prefab, the assembly, the permits, etc. I’m guessing north of $500K for a tiny one bedroom.
@@abbyflows1332 no. Because you get the land. These guys are talking material costs. And wood prices are pretty similar all across the country. Same with tile price etc. It's materials.
I would be deliriously happy in this prefab home! It's lovely. I will admit I AM partial to those A Frames though. This is coming from an Eichler owner. LOVE the glass!
There are various modular/pre-fab manufacturing companies. Most deliver to site, build foundation and hookup utilities etc. Some, not all, help you with localities. We spent months looking at modular but the “final” financed prices ended up being too high for us. Since then, we’ve been looking at tiny homes and container homes and the prices are extremely affordable. We are currently searching for perked land to purchase or finance in the final loan package.
@@hacker-7214 that's where people are building them but that's not what they're selling: they're selling prefab _houses._ The Sears ones look more like actual houses.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, if you are reading this comment? Hope you stay safe during these times! Love your Videos Shelby, true Inspiration to me as I'm a RUclips Vlogger too!💖
Congratulations!! you have found the MOST EXPENSIVE tiny home I have ever heard of.. way to screw up the whole purpose of tiny home living. That isnt a damn tesla. A tesla is at most 2x the cost of a cheap new car, but with basically every feature standard and 1/2 the cost to run and maintain. a fully loaded 500sq ft tiny home would cost as much as $50k. The one you had was almost $200k. so 4x the cost for the same luxuries and with a house that honestly is probably less energy efficient so you pay more to live in that home as well. SUPER bad comparison.
I bought a 417 sq feet studio condo for 230 thousand last year in Aspen co. on the mountain, beautiful view, pools, hot tubs, gym, steam room, after living in a large two bedroom house in LA. It's fabulous and easy to keep clean. I was going to sell it last week just to make a 30 thousand profit but then realized I love my space with the most amazing views, I wouldn't trade it for the world right now.It's not just the size but location. I could never afford to purchase or rent a traditional house or Apt. in Aspen.
This is interesting because housing is so expensive and yeah I would like more information on this sort of thing Like adding rooms onto these tiny home and can a person help assemble them saving labor cost? Thanks Shelby Church!👍😊
Shelby, for you next video I want you to go to your local government and try to get a permit to add a prefab house on the property where you live. Is it legal? How much time and money would it take just for permits and approvals? Then tell me if this is the future of housing....
If you're even a little handy, there's a much cheaper way to do this. In fact, I'm standing in the office I built in my backyard via this method. There are dozens of companies around the country that sell backyard sheds. I used TuffShed. They'll build you a shell of a building for a very low price, then you just come in after them and finish it out with whatever utilities/amenities you want. For example... The building I put in my backyard is 12X20 and cost about $3,500 to have them build it. They built galvanized steel base and put it on piers, then brought in the walls and roof. The whole build process took a few hours one Saturday morning. That gave me the shell with 2 windows and a door. Once that was done, I roped in my father and my son and the three of us put in flooring, insulation, drywall, electricity, lighting, heating/AC, etc. The total final cost was right at about $5K for what is essentially two 10X12 rooms that are fully useable year-round. One is my office. The other is a spare room that we've used as a guest room and as storage. My zoning prohibited it, but if it hadn't I could have paid $500 for the "barn roof upgrade" which would have provided enough space overhead for a useable second level, nearly doubling my useable floor space. Of course I'd have to pay more to run the electric to the 2nd level, as well as insulation, flooring, drywall, etc... So the overall cost would have probably ended up closer to $8K, but that's for almost 500 sqft of space. If someone wanted to take that and add a few appliances, they could probably finish out the building as a tiny home for around $15K.
I built a similar Tiny Home a couple years ago, but I was still impressed with the design and build. Several things similar to the one I built, but several things they did better, as they had a larger budget and more space. Good job!
@Bill Cosby It cost me about $53k, and I built it myself, with some building assistance from my father (who has over 50 years of construction & carpentry experience) and some design assistance from my mother. )
Thank you for the shares! this is definitely a great video to watch in YTB. however... if compared the LA's NORMAL average per square foot price about $ 600-2000/sgft depends on the different neighborhoods , a PreFab tiny house costs per square foot price is about $ 200k/400sgft = 500/sgft, which is cheaper. But if the homeowner hires a traditional ADU contractor to do the same size of ADU, 400sgft will cost only less than 110k includes the permit fee and drawings. My client just done one in long beach city, CA, her ADU's per sgft construction cost was only about $240/sgft, for a better appearance exterior materiel walls, let's say which will cost 350/sgft, it wont exceed $ 140k .
Why would you get a "permit" to do something on property you presumably own? Did you not stipulate that the real estate transaction is to be fee simple?
@@alphaforce6998 High permit costs? Somebody hasta pay for those $100,000/year city employees. It's like getting your car worked on by the dealer who uses the flat rate repair manual. Every little thing has its price. And it adds up quickly, even though the actual job didn't need it.
Emily Wiley now you said the right thing: peaceful! I need peace. Here in NY neighbors listen to regaton music ALL THE TIME and I’m really done with that!
Hi Shelby thx for sharing this video!! Pre fab are the best way to get a cheaper accommodation but....please talk in detail about land and permit cost. Yes it’s expensive bc of the high end appliances. I’m sure there is a way to have a modern pre fab 3 bedroom at least on reasonable rates specially considering the economic conditions..
You should have a look at the channel Living Big In A Tiny House . The most amazing tiny homes from Hobbit style to Sci Fi and some are so cheap and green. Love this style of future homes xoxo Stay safe xo
I love the Idea of having a house made from a container, it’s green, natural disasters proof (it was made to resist crazy weather variations), low cost, etc. but the REAL ISSUE here it’s the pricing. Considering how expensive the final cost can be. Plus all the legal requirements from the city, etc... there must be a way to actually make this happen with a very small budget.
I think the secret is to find a loophole in the law, which is anything under 150 sq ft doesnt require a permit to build, so make multiple small units that work together but aren’t technically connected
In South Africa you can get a 4-5 bedroom 4 car garage home in a upper class estate with a swimming pool for $200k. Property prices in the US is just insane !
I bought a 2018 3 bedroom manufactured home for 36k. I love the price, but it's too big for me. I thought to myself, "I'll sell this and buy one of those tiny trailers that are allowed in an RV park!" I swiftly changed my mind when I found out a *decent* one sells at minimum for 75k.
Thx u Shelby for your great vids on a new way of housing and living! Not so cheap as thought previously, but for me definitely... I go for it! You made my mind really. In this regard, your vids are really impressive and hold sway over my mind!
I adore tiny homes! We have been working on some artist-themed designs, hope to build them in the next year or two here. So fun to have a tiny out back for vacation rentals or work / craft space. Glad you're getting the word out about them. I see the comments that it's not affordable...but if you live in LA.....that's the best you'll get, unfortunately.

Building description is not precisely defined. Contract clauses disadvantage buyers, especially in the event of construction defects. You can only have it built in defined locations. You should pay for everything even though construction is still underway. Known technical defects, sound insulation, subsequent installation of sockets, for example, not possible. Buyers are bound to a specific energy provider for at least 15 years.

Her surprised face about the induction cook top
Just wondering: Is the concept of using induction for cooking not that common or known in the US?
Is it also not common to have a build in fridge? I see a lot of free standing ones but I thought that's just the expansive version
I think it's somewhat known but I had never actually seen it- maybe I'm just living under a rock though haha
I was puzzled by this too. Same with the built in fridge and wall mounted toilet.
Here in the UK I remember seeing an induction cooker at school, teacher telling us it would be the future, but I don't know anyone who has one so they're kinda rare here. As far as I know you also need special pans for them.
As for the built in fridge, seen those before, but I'm not keen on them. For some reason I prefer having the fridge in the open so a lot of people probably feel the same.
It's very common know but many people don't know that they aren't the same as old convection cooktops
They are in the US but only in very high-end kitchens and then not in most of those.
The real problem is that people's wages can't keep up with costs....
houses are overpriced. you don't need more than 6000 usd in materials to build a decent house
@DeadlyButSilent2 the problem is that the government won't let people build cheap housing. Taxes and licences and not allowing anyone to build whatever they want on their land will make housing expensive
@DeadlyButSilent2it's their land. You have no right to tell the what they can and cannot do on their land. Either you believe in total freedom or no freedom. It's called property rights.

HOUSING IS INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE IT COSTS TOO MUCH SO WE HAVE THIS OTHER OPTION A SMALL HOUSE THAT IS ALSO EXPENSIVE
Seriously buying these kind of pre-made tiny houses isnt worth it. The only way this concept really works/ is financially functioning is if you build it yourself. These companies building these houses dont do it because its cheaper for you to live in, they do it because the market is expensive and so they can also be expensive and rip people off. A normal handy person could build a house this size for less than 10 to 30 k depending on what materials youre using. Youre not moving into a tiny house to have it exclusive. Youre doing it to save money and to live simplistic
schnooleheletteletto man that’s business if you can make it yourself then do it.
Lol
10-30k hahaha lol
schnooleheletteletto this will only really work once companies like these get big enough and can be if it from economies of scale to lower their prices
Los Angeles Rejected me 10 times so far for tiny house build
Considered a PreFab as an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) but it didnt give flexibility for where we wanted to run electricity and water.
Theyre INCREDIBLY cheaper, but find one that fits all your needs. Some will customize them, but costs go up. Theyre nice!
This is a very European type of living space... the hidden fridge, cabinets, everything is simple etc.
I lived in a Sears home for almost two decades. Wished I coould have afforded to tear it down and rebuild it in the country. It was extremely well built with beautiful woodwork.
Your content keeps getting better and better. I'm obsessed with tiny houses. Literally a dream.
The old historic houses look way better than those new boxes.
"Sears, yes Sears, ... like bankrupt Sears" 🤣🤣0:46
Sears was a great company, you communist.
Shelby's videos are definitely so slept on!! you can tell she takes the time to edit them and puts so much work into them
They are really overcharging for how little they are delivering.
Literally anyone in a trailer park has been doing this since the 60's. These are just fancy looking mobile homes... also know as manufactured houses. Don't get me wrong, that one looks way more legit than a double wide, but when you do the math it's way more expensive too.
Mobile homes these days are much closer to permanent homes in terms of quality. This is just the next step I guess
The problem with many mobile homes is they are not very mobile. If you try and move one after a decade or so you will likely do a lot of serious damage or have to pay for expensive reinforcement. So the whole concept of moving to a new location is questionable.
jerry kurata the “mobile” part isn’t about moving multiple times like an RV. It refers to the fact that the house was made in a factory and then transported to its destination in the first place. Pretty much exactly what the guy in this video is talking about, but his required more on-site assembly.
okay, i’ve never heard of a man named alexis. i actually LOVE that!!
I'm really excited for the future of prefab houses. I love to travel 3-4 months a year, so having a small home is ideal for me. However, I will need a small garage as my other hobby is cars lol. I definitely think I could see myself living in something like this in the near future. :)
These are GORGEOUS. I'm not into buying a home but if someone rented a house like this out, I would snag it up in a heartbeat. SO beautiful! And the one in Joshua tree... gurrrrrrl 😍
It's sad thinking I might have to move away from my family because Southern California is so expensive. Most people say "just move!" if you are trying to find a home in California, but some of us were born/raised here and want to stay near our families.
Same! I can't imagine living anywhere else
LilySkye i love SoCal, so i’m sorry to hear that 🥺
Experiencing the same think living in one of the most expensive cities in Canada. All my family and friends are here, why would I want to move other than the part where I'll have to rent for the rest of my life :(
Same. I moved to Oregon this year for more affordable living and I gravely miss my familia in LA.
I gave up my shared room in a 3 bedroom apartment filled with 6 girls in SF for my own room in my childhood home. It can be tough moving back in with your parents if you can, but you’re saving so much money in the long run. Plus, I still get to be with my family and get to live comfortably in California for a discounted price. The thing about moving out of CA is it’s hard to move back in.
it’s the most normal thing in europe to have your fridge built in and with the same top as the rest of the kitchen
Here in the US it is much more expensive to build a built-in fridge. It’s more economical to buy a fridge that fits your space.
Maureen Rocha yeah i get that
@@Godhelpus62 built ins are more expensive in Europe too, but it is still quite common.

finally someone breaks the bad news: prefab costs as much (if not more) than site built, when all costs are accounted for. biggest difference is less waste for prefab
Hi Shelby, I really enjoy your videos and appreciate the time you spend to make them really visually pleasing. That being said, I feel like there wasn't quite enough research put into this topic to truly represent it as a whole. The title makes it seem as though you're going to talk about Tiny Homes in general, but what you're really talking about is pre-fab homes, which are generally MUCH more expensive than tiny homes. I feel like it is detrimental to the movement (which is generally very eco friendly, and awesome in so many other ways) when people see a video that says that tiny homes are generally $150,000 - 300,000, when in reality the average cost of a tiny home is much much lower than that. This might cause people disregard the movement as they think it is too expensive. Just some thoughts! Thanks again for the video!
the fact that induction isnt really a thing in the usa (or at least it seems like it) but so many people have a tesla is so bizarre to me🤔 its actually really interesting to see how different the usa standards are from european countries standards

@@sidbrun_ i just always heard that those are soo dangerous. would you agree to that or is that just bullshit?
AnnaDaA I’m from Belgium and we have both.
I prefer newer model of gaz stove over other gaz stoves or induction versions, for me they are the safest.
Mine for example you have to twist and push the “button” for it to work and release some gaz. You also have to approche a flame to “light” not sure about the word) the stove. So kids can’t use it by accident.
Of course like any other appliance you need to use it as it was designed and maintain/upkeep it.
Most accidents happens with older, not well maintained models.
In some rare case someone forget to turn it of and wakes up with a mild gaz intoxication. Death by gaz leak is pretty rare nowadays.
Hope this helped.
Why would this be better than an apartment? If it's $200,000 not including the land it hardly seems less expensive at the end of the day. It might be a good option as an in-law suite if you have the backyard space.
OMGGG I WANT I could use this as a studio space in my backyard for business.. Thanks for sharing.!

@@nombre1248 that depends largely on your budget and how much you choose to spend. This is a very very high end example.

*Love the video by the way*
Guessing you don’t live in Los Angeles. 🤣
A “normal” house in LA is over $800,000 🙃
I definitely go with container house around $40,000 all nicely done.
That wording @ 7:43 is an example of how content writing in marketing can really make things sound better than they are. "Traditional houses take 3-6 months. Pre-fab homes takes 8-10 weeks in the factory, then 4-6 weeks onsite" (aka 3-4 months).
My husband and I were thinking about getting one of these houses for our daughter so she could have her own little house, when she gets tired of it we can use it as an office or in-law suite. Soo many options!!!
The Sears mail-order houses was just the materials to build it from scratch, so not even remotely close to pre-fab.
I wish they would have disclosed the actually price of everything: the land, the prefab, the assembly, the permits, etc. I’m guessing north of $500K for a tiny one bedroom.
Everything minus land was 193k, so in LA I’m guessing land adds quite a bit... hard to know for sure though
@@ShelbyChurch 193k? That's almost 500 bucks a foot. THATS CRAZY. I mean CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY EXPENSIVE

There are various modular/pre-fab manufacturing companies. Most deliver to site, build foundation and hookup utilities etc. Some, not all, help you with localities. We spent months looking at modular but the “final” financed prices ended up being too high for us. Since then, we’ve been looking at tiny homes and container homes and the prices are extremely affordable. We are currently searching for perked land to purchase or finance in the final loan package.
This house looks so... unprotected. Feels more like a repurposed seaboard shipment container than a house even though it looks fine
That's why it's a backyard house. Not a standalone house where u can live normally

Congratulations!! you have found the MOST EXPENSIVE tiny home I have ever heard of.. way to screw up the whole purpose of tiny home living. That isnt a damn tesla. A tesla is at most 2x the cost of a cheap new car, but with basically every feature standard and 1/2 the cost to run and maintain. a fully loaded 500sq ft tiny home would cost as much as $50k. The one you had was almost $200k. so 4x the cost for the same luxuries and with a house that honestly is probably less energy efficient so you pay more to live in that home as well. SUPER bad comparison.
Fun fact: Bamboo is not a weed its a grass :)
I bought a 417 sq feet studio condo for 230 thousand last year in Aspen co. on the mountain, beautiful view, pools, hot tubs, gym, steam room, after living in a large two bedroom house in LA. It's fabulous and easy to keep clean. I was going to sell it last week just to make a 30 thousand profit but then realized I love my space with the most amazing views, I wouldn't trade it for the world right now.It's not just the size but location. I could never afford to purchase or rent a traditional house or Apt. in Aspen.

Pro strat: buy plot of land, fill with a few of these, rent two at a price that pays off all expenses of you living in the third
Yes
In the Netherlands most houses are pre fab or partially pre fab.
Shelby, for you next video I want you to go to your local government and try to get a permit to add a prefab house on the property where you live. Is it legal? How much time and money would it take just for permits and approvals?
Then tell me if this is the future of housing....
If you're even a little handy, there's a much cheaper way to do this. In fact, I'm standing in the office I built in my backyard via this method. There are dozens of companies around the country that sell backyard sheds. I used TuffShed. They'll build you a shell of a building for a very low price, then you just come in after them and finish it out with whatever utilities/amenities you want. For example...
The building I put in my backyard is 12X20 and cost about $3,500 to have them build it. They built galvanized steel base and put it on piers, then brought in the walls and roof. The whole build process took a few hours one Saturday morning. That gave me the shell with 2 windows and a door. Once that was done, I roped in my father and my son and the three of us put in flooring, insulation, drywall, electricity, lighting, heating/AC, etc. The total final cost was right at about $5K for what is essentially two 10X12 rooms that are fully useable year-round. One is my office. The other is a spare room that we've used as a guest room and as storage.
My zoning prohibited it, but if it hadn't I could have paid $500 for the "barn roof upgrade" which would have provided enough space overhead for a useable second level, nearly doubling my useable floor space. Of course I'd have to pay more to run the electric to the 2nd level, as well as insulation, flooring, drywall, etc... So the overall cost would have probably ended up closer to $8K, but that's for almost 500 sqft of space. If someone wanted to take that and add a few appliances, they could probably finish out the building as a tiny home for around $15K.
currently quarantined in a 450 square foot, 2 bedroom apartment with myself and 2 other adults. weird to hear them act like 400+ sq ft is so small
400 sq feet is around 40 sq meters. here in my country a normal apartment is 40-50 sq meters and usualy 3 people live in one.
Uh, it’s very small lol my house is 1850sqft and some days it feels small too lol
My grandparents house was a Sears house. My grandpa ordered the kit and built it himself.
Is he available to build mine?
I built a similar Tiny Home a couple years ago, but I was still impressed with the design and build. Several things similar to the one I built, but several things they did better, as they had a larger budget and more space. Good job!
@Bill Cosby It cost me about $53k, and I built it myself, with some building assistance from my father (who has over 50 years of construction & carpentry experience) and some design assistance from my mother. )
Thank you for the shares! this is definitely a great video to watch in YTB. however... if compared the LA's NORMAL average per square foot price about $ 600-2000/sgft depends on the different neighborhoods , a PreFab tiny house costs per square foot price is about $ 200k/400sgft = 500/sgft, which is cheaper. But if the homeowner hires a traditional ADU contractor to do the same size of ADU, 400sgft will cost only less than 110k includes the permit fee and drawings. My client just done one in long beach city, CA, her ADU's per sgft construction cost was only about $240/sgft, for a better appearance exterior materiel walls, let's say which will cost 350/sgft, it wont exceed $ 140k .

Houses are really expensive.

Why would you get a "permit" to do something on property you presumably own? Did you not stipulate that the real estate transaction is to be fee simple?
@@alphaforce6998 High permit costs? Somebody hasta pay for those $100,000/year city employees. It's like getting your car worked on by the dealer who uses the flat rate repair manual. Every little thing has its price. And it adds up quickly, even though the actual job didn't need it.

Hi Shelby thx for sharing this video!! Pre fab are the best way to get a cheaper accommodation but....please talk in detail about land and permit cost. Yes it’s expensive bc of the high end appliances. I’m sure there is a way to have a modern pre fab 3 bedroom at least on reasonable rates specially considering the economic conditions..
You should get a PreFab tiny home Shelby it will suit you well. It might cost a bit more but less than buying a regular size home.
You should have a look at the channel Living Big In A Tiny House . The most amazing tiny homes from Hobbit style to Sci Fi and some are so cheap and green. Love this style of future homes xoxo Stay safe xo
Yes i love his channel so much!
I love the Idea of having a house made from a container, it’s green, natural disasters proof (it was made to resist crazy weather variations), low cost, etc. but the REAL ISSUE here it’s the pricing. Considering how expensive the final cost can be. Plus all the legal requirements from the city, etc... there must be a way to actually make this happen with a very small budget.
I think the secret is to find a loophole in the law, which is anything under 150 sq ft doesnt require a permit to build, so make multiple small units that work together but aren’t technically connected
Who else thought it was gonna be like 40-50k
In South Africa you can get a 4-5 bedroom 4 car garage home in a upper class estate with a swimming pool for $200k.
Property prices in the US is just insane !
I bought a 2018 3 bedroom manufactured home for 36k. I love the price, but it's too big for me. I thought to myself, "I'll sell this and buy one of those tiny trailers that are allowed in an RV park!"
