    I’m in TX and excited until the very end. I can build onsite cheaper than $300k. If I’m going to go 300k and higher I would never do prefab. The objective is to lower costs and appears we are years from it. Disappointed HiFab. 😢

      Please tell me how. I have not found anyone in the Austin area who can build for less than 230-250 per sqft bare minimum. If I could get closer to 150/sqft - 200/sqft I would do it immediately

    For under 300k in Texas- Grand Prairie in particular. After a quick look at Zillow, I found a beautiful 2053 sqft, 3br 3 bath updated ranch on a .29 acre lot with beautiful mature landscaping, a garage, a shop, a nice big storage shed, and a little greenhouse. In a nice neighborhood, with a good school rating and... no waiting.
    No. It isn't ultra-modern, but it's sturdy and available now.
    These prefab companies have to be able to beat what's on the market. They want us to buy their product for more than the price of available homes. Then we have to factor in finishes, land, permits, site prep, and time. It just doesn't add up in my mind. Now. If I could get their product, land, finishes, permits, and site prep all included at this price in California. They sold me. But not in Texas. ,

    • @JvariW
      @JvariW Рік тому

      You’re paying have a million for a shack in Cali. There’s no way you’d get this for that price there. The market wouldn’t see it. Wayyyy more likely to pay for this in TX. Usually these homes are made above code and reduce your costs over the years by saving you on maintenance and utilities. Add in the aesthetic and that it’s brand new.. price seems about right. Maybe at some point these homes will become cheaper. I think that’s part of the plan. Right now they need early adoption to get to that point

    • @charleanastasia5557
      @charleanastasia5557 Рік тому

      @JvariW it depends on WHERE in California. I live more inland. My house 2400 sqft 3br 3ba on a 11000 sqft lot. I bought it for 163,500 12 years ago. It's now worth about 550,000. For the size, and lot, it's cheap. It's NOT a shack at all. But it is in the desert about an hour and a half outside of LA and SD. The closer to the city or the ocean, the more expensive

    Nice and good to see they are in the middle of the country. This will save on delivery charges, which considering these are more or less the same price as a traditional home build, will be an important saving. Long story short - nice and about time Texas got some love, but these are just too expensive..

    I'm with you, Kerry, on the "C" model.
    I've always been obsessed with the court yard design. Something about it just seems cozier.
    Also, it's a design that has been done for many purposes, all over the world, all though out history.
    Good looking homes!
    Thanks Kerry

    I’m not moving to Texas. The prices seem a tad high. However, when compared to onsite construction costs the price might be lower. But then again the price does not include the cost of the property, site prep, permits, etc. When all is said and done, I’m not sure a prefab house is more economical. Just a thought… thank you! Great job!

    • @NA-su3jk

      Thats a good question for the channel to - maybe? - resolve w some authority. What a great value add for a prefab homes channel to crunch some numbers, say 3 sample states, east, west, mid.... comparing basic 3 br home prefab vs traditional in same market? I would watch!

    • @bcoldwell1
      @bcoldwell1 Рік тому

      I think you need to factor in reduction of on site construction time. That will reduce land carry cost (taxes, interest) and impute a cost for the extra time you are living in your current location (rent/mortgage/etc).
      I still don't think it will make manufactured homes cheaper, but depends on your carry costs where yiu live

    Hello Kerry! Watched your video yesterday and then went into their website and played around with their designs. I personally love the Cowboy boot design. 🤠 I love a separation between bedrooms and living space for quiet. I am not a fan of open concept, however. I would love to see partial wall dividing the kitchen from the living room. When I am entertaining or relaxing I Do Not want to see my messy kitchen. But that's just me. Have a great day and weekend. Just so you know there a lot of us praying for the Canadian wildfires to end. We will gladly send you some of our rain, if not all of it for awhile. Take good care and thank you!!!

You do have a wonderful sense of humor and I know you have a large audience in expensive places like California; the upper west coast and Canada; you def will be able to help that economic stratosphere of society out!

    The reason one doesnt see many modular homes in Tx is that the real gross cost of same, with all the work and extra costs of permits, land, septic, a well, driveway, carport...etc etc....eventually price it out of the market for most folks. Its just much cheaper to purchase a slightly used standard brick home in nice area.

    First, though I've heard you use it many times, I want to credit you with teaching me a new slang for underwear: "ginch." Second, though the layout of these homes looks okay, they're WAY too expensive. Third, doesn't bother me they're only building in Texas because I won't do ANY business with ANY company in Texas, not even for toilet paper! Not only was the state ranked THE WORST to live in in the US, everyone should boycott their fascist, racist, homophobic, etc., etc., government!

      @@KerryTarnow you're welcome. I just think that I could very well purchase a stick built home for less.
