What Equipment I Use:

New technology in the home building business is creating thousands of concrete homes. Today we take a look at their business and how they use technology to quickly build houses in South Florida.

This video is sponsored by ONX homes.

I’m in Ohio and the housing market here over the last 7-8 years is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Homes that were bought for $130K in 2015 are now being sold for $590k. I’m talking about tiny, disgusting, poorly built 950 square foot shit boxes in quiet mediocre neighborhoods. Then you’ve got Better, average sized homes in nicer neighborhoods that were $300K+ 10 years ago selling for $750k+ now. Wild times.

Buying houses is a good form of investment. However, transfer of wealth usually occur in stock market, so the more stocks drop, the more I buy, apparently there are strategies to 3x gains in this present market cos I read of someone that pulled a profit of $350k within 6months, and it would really help if someone could suggest these strategies .

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

My grandparents house in the Dominican Republic is made of concrete and reinforced with railroad tracks. The house was built by my grandfather who was a home builder and also clad the exterior of the home with beautiful stone. The house is now 65yrs old and has never been damaged by a hurricane. The structure is solid and blows my 1950s US built home away.

Concrete houses aren’t a new concept everywhere else in the world but the built in factory side is unique

Africa has been building their homes like this for years. It is good to see America is doing this more energy efficient.

"Houses that people actually want to live in". Cool. When are they going to make houses people actually can afford?

I live in Texas and would TOTALLY buy a concrete home TODAY! My friend's dad (an engineer) build a MASSIVE home for him and his entire family in the Philippines because of the storms and hurricanes. A few years after it was complete a massive storm came through leaving only a few homes and his still standing. Because he built it so big he was able to help a lot of his friends and neighbors, and it stayed cool(ish) when the power was out.

In the Dominican Republic, the overwhelming majority of new home constructions are in concrete and has been for more than 4 decades. They’re not prefabricated like this either which makes the integrity of the structure even stronger. It’s crazy to think that it’s taken America this long to “catch up” especially in warmer climates.

The best house I ever owned was a 1932 concrete home built by Eastman Kodak in a suburb of Rochester NY. They were built for Kodak managers. The walls and the floors were concrete. It was wonderfully quiet and kept the noise out. The walls were thicker than stick built houses which gave a comforting feeling of solidarity. These houses are still existing and in demand

Money creation without product creation is inflation.

In Europe, concrete construction is the norm. Here in the USA and Canada, stick-built is the rule because we have huge forests and wood is environmentally renewable and lends itself to being built however you want it. Stick is increasingly getting more expensive and that’s where a company like Onyx enters the picture. Its revolutionized how homes are made and built and you get the land and the home, which is one less hassle for a lot of people. Thanks for the video! 😊

you forgot to mention that concrete construction are WAY MORE sound proof. timber frame houses are notorious for poor sound insulation.

I’m a homeowner of ONX home in Florida City. I love it, it’s my dream home. I recommend it. You can reach out to me if you have any questions.

FINALLY!!!
It should be done 50 years ago! Most of the countries building houses of breck, stone and concrete.

[khroniclesofkoko]

I live in Kenya, Africa. 99% of our homes are built by stone harnessed by concrete and steel for the pillars and roofs, but done on site. Homes rarely fall unless its due to construction issues. It's interesting that its becoming more popular in the states. Also land is quite affordable, at a really posh estate, for $400, 000 you can get a palatial home plus land. In the countryside you can get over 50 acres of land.

Concrete is definitely the way to go but 500K is not😭

[Wiggieboo]

Hahahahah, im from Jamaica, and our homes are built of concrete with steel inside the concrete to withstand hurricanes. When i first came to America and felt the construction of the wood homes i was shocked. They felt like cardboard. No one tornadoes wipe them out. In Europe some buildings are hundreds of years old. BRICK!!!

[nicksam]

the look, the speed, the design to resist local weather(hurricane/ storms) is all fantastic. Half a million is totally unreasonable to most people. We need to drive the price down.

In Puerto Rico, houses are made of concrete. This is then norm due to hurricanes.
