International Building Code gives the smallest house permittable as 650 sq.ft. That's the rule that tiny homes have to fight against. Different areas have modifications of that square footage, but that's the code most go by. We currently live in an 800 sq.ft. house, and honestly, we have three areas we barely use.
You can buy a double wide that's built better, with better materials and much cheaper. Not that I'm advertising for a mobile homes, but damn no way they stay in business long it's almost comical.
Here in NW AZ where I live the similar version in stucco exterior and including an indoor laundry, would go new $199K so that seems like the going rate but the AZ home would include a one car attached garage.
Too expensive to buy, but the floorplan is very good, so buy the materials and build it yourself. With the addition of a basement and a garage, you've got everything needed.
Having had a similar size house built.. stick built at that... For 75K including a small lot? I would say they are about double what its worth. Mine is a 2/1 as well... These guys are NUTS. And I usually make fun of people who watch these and pitch super lowball offers. Almost a quarter million dollars? Yeah, I think not.
yeah. I jumped to the price and stopped watching the video. Jeez. Who has that kind of money? I suppose he did call it a lake house. The world has gone mad.
780 square feet here, with two adults, a large dog and preps and hobbies. And the mortgage was so easy to pay off. paying it off early was part of the plan that allowed me to retire early.😁
People don't build houses for free you know ? They have overheads, payroll, electric, shop space, insurance, advertising, materials, taxes etc. Ever owned your own business ?
@@deeshannongarrison5115 if you don't have a basement, you could use the bannister and stairwell area as a makeshift laundry room.

Super cute! I would add a fireplace between the two side windows in the living room. Maybe a sliding glass door off of the kitchen instead of the swing door, and extend the island to seat four and get rid of the dining table itself. Also add some shutters on the front and wrap the columns to jazz it up a bit.
I agree a fireplace would look great between those windows. If the roof is placed 90 degrees to the plans and the ducts for the heat pump are rerouted it could totally be done.

I love houses this size - but as the owner of an older 864 sq ft 2 bed 1 bath home (with an attached 624 sq ft shop/garage) I am biased. My main bedroom is a bit larger at 12’ x 15’, but this model has a larger family room. I am in the process of building a new 8’ x 22’ post and beam gabled front porch to capture the view out of my 8’ x 4.5’ picture window. I’m older, it’s just me and I think this is the perfect size. I use the second bedroom as an office.
Hi Tim, Jen,and boys. I didn’t think this would be as nice as it is. I love how open it is. The kitchen is beautiful. They thought of most things for this home. Great retirement home to downsize or starter home. The bedroom size is good for the size of the home. Great showing and narration. Have a blessed week!
As shown 257 dollars a square foot is way overpriced. It’s a solid design, but based on what I saw a fair price would be about 125 bucks a square foot…not including the land it sits on.
Perfect home for me for Grandma you know plenty of room if I have to get my wheelchair around through there and could put a ramp I love it Tim I just love it 💖
That size isn't too bad. We've lived in similar sizes for quite a while. We even fit our multiple hobbies. When they get too much smaller is when tiny houses become far less practical. Yeah they're cute and cozy, but unless you only play chess or read there just isn't enough space for a permanent situation.
My house is 960 sqft, 3br 1bath. 10x12br, 10x10br, and a small 7x10 or so that I use for a den(for lack of a better word). 10x15 kitchen and 11x19 LR. It's a little different layout, one br off the kitchen. I like the layout of this one better. Add a carpet on the side and a nice 1000sqft shop next to it, perfect for retirement.
It was super. It has super nice colors. The layout was super simple. The two flags were super patriotic. The open floor concept was super cool. Thanks for the super video
I follow these small home channels for ideas for layouts for my stick built 30x35 small home. I have plenty of time to build my home. But for those people who are looking for a home quickly, these models may work for them.
a very nice house and very well filmed,the only thing i would want to add is a bathroom of the master bedroom that's all other than that is a great starter home it has everything my wife and i would love,thanks for filming it again.
I grew up in a 920sf house. We didn't call it "cute", "adorable", or "trendy". My dad did everything he could to get us the hell out of there and into a decent house.
It's probably more for a retired couple or just a single person... I'm downsizing so I don't think I'd mind this size... I can't clean a big house anymore.. I want less of everything!! Lol
I live in less than that now with a wife and child. 900sqft would give us a huge boost of space. I'd love that especially as a minimal family who lives on humble means.
That home should be priced below 100k, I don’t know anyone who would pay $232k for that tiny home! These home builders and manufacturers have lost their dang minds! 🤯

No soft close drawers or cabinets? Formica countertops? This house is identical to the 1940s house that we rented when we were building our 2220 sq ft custom built home for us
Great use of space! Perfect compromise for the person who is attracted to tiny homes, but wants just a bit more space. The only downside is the woodwork, as it looks a bit cheap; hopefully, the price reflects it. But overall, love this one! 🥰
@@briargoatkilla while this might be an economical build for the competent DIYer, you couldn't buy the cheapest materials available and hit $20K. Perhaps you haven't seen material prices lately?
We live in a house in Minneapolis that was built in 1935 that has almost this identical floor plan. Whereas this floorplan has a possible deck off the kitchen we added a three season porch.
I hate to break the news, but I live in a house that's about 900 ft.². It's a regular house. I don't know how this could possibly can be considered tiny, except next to a mansion?
Maybe a weekend bungalow. But not for year round living. Certainly not for work from home. 1800+ 2.5 bath for my wife and me. I can leave my home office space at the end of my work day. And relax in the den. No claustrophobic tiny size.
I like this home, but as a retiree, $200,000 is a bit of chunk of money for someone on social security. We really need affordable houses for people who aren't swimming in money.
Maybe it's just me. If you are only working a job with no hobbies, this might be fine for you. I am currently single and live in a space that is about 950 FT2. It's too small for me. Maybe because I have a huge vinyl record collection, my 2nd bedroom is my craft / art / study with wall to wall shelving which is cramped with my college books, and all kinds of other subject matter. I ended up building a small 200 FT2 workshop in the back yard, which is cramped packed with power tools and other storage (various holidays, gardening, etc). I need a bigger place. Preferably about 1500 FT2 of living, and bigger workshop, say 500 to 1000 FT2.
