Tiny Homes Revisited | We Answer your questions

[trueblak]

People with negative comments about these homes never lived in the inner cities of the Northeast part of America. The yard alone sold me.

[RavenStorm]

my only gripe is the having to walk out the front door to get to the backyard but that wouldn't be deal breaker for me

[ShaneSuen]

Can I personally add a back door to the house so I can have access to my own backyard, is it even allowed? Same goes for the windows.

[denisebutler]

Can you do up grades, like the bathroom up stairs and down stairs

[LordVader]

I just recently learned about these houses. I like the concept, I would definitely live in one. However, there are opportunities to make the design better and more cost effective for future versions.

First, why traditional building? Why not modular? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe a single module is wider (Standard modules are 13 ft 9 in) than this house. You could make this a 30 ft long, 13 ft 9 in wide house, and make it with two (2) modules; one on top of the other. One (1) truck can carry upto 60 ft of modules, so the whole thing can br brought in one (1) trip. More space (I think), faster and cheaper to build.

The roof would make more sense to me if it was a shed style. I believe shed style roofs are some of the most cost effective to make. If we are going for affordability, why not commit to affordable designs in every corner of the house?


The other thing is the price. I'm not sure if these houses are worth $130K +. That's approximately $215+ per square foot! I ask why?

Again, I could happily live in a place like this. It's really good for couples with no kids, and single people. Just the price has to be the biggest factor to drive me away from it.

What Questions do you have about these tiny homes? Would you live in them if you were trying to downsize?

[moniquevann]

I love them 😍 as for me less is more TFS

[loudmein]

I’d like to live in one of these as my first home. Wouldn’t spend more than 110k- maybe 120k tho

[desktopkitty]

This is clearly not for everyone, but there's definitely a market for them. My husband and I are empty nesters, and last summer we downsized from an apartment to a small house. We chose a house mainly because with our age and medical concerns, we needed a place without stairs, and that was just too hard to find in an apartment. Something like this would work nice for the 2 of us, if it weren't for the stairs. It's not perfect; there are things (other than stairs) that I would change about the design, but my biggest gripe is the price. I really feel these houses should cost less. It is true, if you go back to the 1930s, 1940s, in general most houses were smaller. It was during the 1970s and 1980s we started getting "McMansions". I never lived in one. The biggest house I've ever lived in was barely over 1, 000 sq ft. And that was with a full family complete with pets all living there.

[gerardomata]

My question is how much they cost to build land and materials and how much money 💰 they are making of these tiny homes 🧐lmk

[sonhuynh]

At the end of the day if there wasn’t a market for these, no one would buy them and construction would stop. Although this is not for me, I can understand how it could be an option for some

[davidblanco]

If they would sell them cheaper I wouldn't mind buying one

[lhbear]

Terrible layout, total lack of imagination from the builder, place the living space facing the back yard and open it with sliding glass doors.

[johnnunez]

There's a hugh problem with these tiny communities....

4 bedrooms
4 drivers
4 cars

Where are the space to park 4 cars...?

😳

[oligarchy-usa]

I would rather see single vehicle garages added/included with these homes than those backyards, even at a higher price point. Guess you could always built another 300-400sqft tiny home in the back yard & rent it out since there is no access to backyard from inside the house. 😉 Still, I wouldn't mind buying one of these at all if I lived in or moved to TX, as a single person with no interest in marriage or children.

[jmartinez]

When customers are asking too many questions it's usually because your AD needs to be become better,

These tiny homes are 660-sqft and are listed for around $135k/ 2 bath- 1bed

[forestpark]

If the city is only offering tiny homes, I’m just leaving the city. There’s just too much land and too many places to live out here.

[IAMYOU-.]

You didn't cover the most important part
It's the ridiculous price

[KeithCindyPanama]

If I buy it today at $160 but can’t sale it at $250 5 or 10 years. It’s not worth it.
The town house community we live in ppl rent out rooms.

[jsundberg]

the only people complaining about these tiny homes are bitter people who just can't afford a home period!!!! stay living with ur parents. moochers
