  • Samara recently added a new larger Prefab Home that is available in California. I have been following Samara and their Backyard ADUs since they were announced in the fall of 2022 and they've been adding to their model line to offer more options. On top of that they're now manufacturing the Backyards in house in a new facility in California and recently offered Tacos to the public. Watch to hear the latest on Samara and their line of Backyard ADUs.

    Anything under 1,000 square feet shouldn’t exceed $150,000 in price

      base price on our 2067 sq ft home we build is 388,600 now. Guess how much we want to make on that house when all the smoke is cleared?

      Many of us live in dumps, slumlord money makers. My 800 sq ft rat hole is being listed at $120K. Depends on what part of the country, and if you are in a rural or city slum.

      @billger5710 27 днів тому +1

      What are the alternatives per square foot? Tiny Home, Stick Built, Traditional Mobile Home? Pre-made sections assembled on site? And is this apples to oranges in terms of features and quality, insulation, etc. Not so simple.

    • @Jasonfallen71
      @Jasonfallen71 26 днів тому +2

      Seems to be using high quality materials which have seen even higher than usual price increases. That was my thought.
      But yeah, well engineered, well built with high quality materials and craftsmanship... not perfect but dang good... that's the Apple (and Tesla) playbook to secure higher margins than all others.
      Hopefully it means they'll stick around and make 10,000's of homes. 🤷‍♂️

    Mr. Tarnow I never fail to hit like on your videos regardless whether I like the product being showcased or not. You are doing your best at bringing attention to as many companies offering pre-fab, modular, hybrid even manufactured housing options and it’s an impossible job to do so and please everyone. The market place has been inundated by too many contestants all too willing to take advantage of current socio economic conditions and the housing crisis to make a buck, looney, peso, yuan what have you, honest or other wise, and the sad reality is that too few are rising to the challenge to be altruistic and resist the urge to hose the end user.
    I am an unapologetic free market capitalist and welcome a vibrant and competitive field however Daddy didn’t raise no fool and at $518 per Square Foot for something that essentially looks like a differently dressed double wide is insanely overpriced and outrageous. This is wanton and abject avarice no matter what food bribe they throw at you, me or that individual that lives for free tacos, this is way overpriced .
    Your sanguine and objective, and humor laced presentations are a joy to watch and very much appreciated for their
    intent and purpose. Whether hit or miss, You manage to thread that needle every time.

    I'm beginning to dread the offerings from the pre-fab industry. Kerry, every time I start to watch one of your videos, I am hoping that you're going to tell us that it is financially within reach for someone who is not making over a six-figure salary...and then...BAM! You get to the price - 200k+, 300k+, 400k+...Not to mention that you still have to buy land somewhere to put it on. You can easily go over half a million dollars. I no longer think that pre-fab is an answer to affordable housing.

Choice of wall materials, floor, roof, etc. You can do yourself for $70k or less. 6 weeks from order to delivery and can have it up in literally ONE day! Also plenty of beautiful 40ft HC container homes from Turkey for less than 40k for 800sf. US is a ripoff right now.

    Making your own hoodie is one heck of a skill.🏆
    Free tacos is genius marketing. If/when you make it to one of their taco events, you’ll have to do a critique of their taco.🌮
    The XL layout looks good. The exterior looks better with the metal option you favored. Solar panels are always worth the extra cost imo. But off grid isn’t for everyone. The front porch looks too basic for my tastes so I would do something different there. But overall it’s a good prefab home, especially internally.🏠
    Rock solid update Kerry. Until the next one.😎

  • @sollancer7699
    @sollancer7699 26 днів тому

    Simpler design but with solar this time, however, the cost went way up tho. With all the options will cost half a million or more for their largest model, but accounting for future family in mind so at the end it an option at least. IMO its about 4 large shipping containers which is a decent size. I would think a more modular design would be nicer option so in the future one could add or take off a section instead of the whole house.
    An option is always a good thing to have, another good vid my tacos friend, I could use a few right about now.

    You should see what you could get for about $4,000 from Sears 110 years ago. (about 132K in 2024 money). Way bigger, two story and made from good quality materials. Many mail order homes still stand today. There were many other plans that were cheaper too. Even though there is modern efficiency of a factory built home, there is not any saving to the buyer. Certainly no reason to go into a massive long term debt.

    It is a box! No stile. I don’t live in California, and don’t plan to, but a house should have a little appeal. Even in California. They are all looking a little trailer.

    Put a frog in hot water and it will jump right out. Put a frog in lukewarm water, gradually turn up the heat and it will drown.

    As a guesthouse behind your multimillion dollar mansion, sure. As an ADU unit, forget it.

    Well, 800 square feet are extremely tiny and look suitable for just half of a normal American and maybe 0.65 of a normal Canadian.

    While I appreciate that this is available now, this company's prices are far, far too high. An 800 sq. ft. house should be in the $150,000 range.

      Agree, there are other options for far less than $269,000.
