way lot cheeper than home going in my city that are $800,000 and more

Not to mention you get NEXT TO NO LAND. And I bet there are high HOA fees too. You're better off living in a nicer trailer park.

NV girl here. The location has alot to do with the price. Just sayin'.

The location dictates a huge chunk of the price... it is located in the downtown area which pretty much explains it. I come from the Philippines which is a 3rd world country but houses near the Downtown areas/CBD's/Financial Districts can cost an average minimum of $1,000,000 USD which can go all the way up to $10,000,000 USD... but the great thing about the Philippines is that there's a huge gap between rich, middle-class and poor which means we have a great diversity in housing options... you can buy a decent house for $80,000 to $100,000 USD... we also have low cost housing which can cost $20,000 USD or even less, again, depending on the location.

You could build and sell it for less than half that in Ohio.

Well put because it doesn't make sense to me either it's just silly little lady at 60 years old now has a brand new mortgage that doesn't make sense either

It's possible she sold a larger house and was able to buy this smaller house outright. STILL, I'd rather buy something outright for $100K and put the other $120K in the bank.

Remember, it is all about location. Video even said the average home in Reno is $400k. Obviously in the Midwest, people can't understand those prices.

@Anita Blunt You can get an Oak Creek double wide for under the $100's. I'll take the double wide, thank you.

@Anita Blunt You can buy a small lot to put it on.

The average house costs almost $300,000 in Reno. Western cites have very different housing markets.

@@3506Dodge if the average cost is $300k for an average home, the tiny home with less than half the sq space should run $100k max.

Baby Boo big time! Charge more because it’s a trend now! Ridiculous

@@flamingpieherman9822 At least $150K they are not a charity, but $220K does seems steep..

flamingpie herman Isn’t the catch cry supposed to be “Location, location, location?” How can you generalise about housing costs unless every factor, other than size, is equal?

It's a downtown location in Reno, Nevada. $200,000 would probably get you a nice McMansion on the Northside here in San Antonio where I currently live.

130k ?

Find a city that will allow it, don't give up on your dream.

yes.. do not give up. where is this place?

THAT IS EXPENSIVE FOR RETIREE'S UNLESS THEY ARE JUST LOADED WITH MONEY... HERE IN TEXAS YOU COULD BUILD THAT FOR LESS THAN 70,000 YOU CAN BUY A MANSION FOR THAT PRICE HERE IN TEXAS... LOL.. I WOULD NEVER PAY THAT AT ALL..

fazdoll I love how people like to decide what’s right food other people

They are technically "Small" homes. And rather nice. You're right, they don't fit the tiny house size classification.

fazdoll maybe the retired person has a big budget

There is NO "official tiny house size." The average house size for new construction in the US is 2200 square feet. As this is 70% smaller than average, it definitely qualifies as tiny.

Maybe becauce the good quality of furniture n equipment comes with it 👍

They clearly don't want houses twice the size. What part of downsizing did you miss? And I doubt you found houses in Reno for 200k.

Elle Keener I doubt it? Check Zillow yourself then. I live in Reno and when he made the comment, and even now a year later he’s still right. You’re not sleeping 5 feet from the neighbors and have an actual house with land. Reno ain’t Vegas or la, this is NOT a good deal.

The best way to less than 50 k dollars. 10 k dollars to 50 k dollars are fair price.

You will pay more because its free trade and capitalism and them telling you its a fair price for a new small home trend.

That is very low price . Where I live in cali 225k will buy is a 1 bedroom in a bad area , no garage and probably 900 Sq feet .. ...

$225k. can't even get you a condo in Seattle or Bellevue area.

You both get to enjoy amazing weather at least lol. I plan on heading west in the near future, I'm not a fan of east coast winters.

@@HDVisionsMedia you are correct , the weather is truly amazing . I feel like we pay for the great weather . There was a report recently released , it stated a yearly income of 100k is considered low income here in the Bay Area . That totally blew my mind . On the plus side of that is here in the Bay Area there are several professions paying at least 100k - Living comfortable in Cali , it's important to have a skilled trade or a Degree of some kind.

You are so correct Jessie . I am in the position to sell my home and damn near pay cash with money left over on a home in Florida , Texas , NC, Colorado , Arizona etc... I’m close to retirement and look often at other properties ... I’ve come to realize ‘ we pay for the weather’ .. I just took a bike ride at the Marina in crop pants and lightweight jacket . I had a tank top on while I was putting my up my Christmas lights ... The climate and weather conditions throughout the country truly scare me , also racism is a huge factor , we are so diverse here in the Bay Area . However , if we choose to snowboard in the winter months , we drive 2. 5 hours to the beautiful Sierra Mountains .. It’s almost perfect .. sometimes we don’t get enough rain resulting in drought conditions . Just filled up my car with gas = 3.88 per gallon , a yearly income of 100k is considered Low Income , meaning people can qualify for government aid if they make up to 100k .. I would love to move out of California but where ...

Would be great for you but a great loss for the builder.

Unfortunately, a neighborhood of $49K houses will turn into a slum/'hood VERY quickly. If houses are priced low, you get low-income residents who will not upkeep the house. That's what happens. In fact, those $220K prices -- which we are all complaining about -- is the ONLY thing keeping this enclave in Reno from turning into a trash park.

Build one.

@@fazdoll Aren't some small houses communities have a system to decide wich can live with them or not to avoid possible criminals and such?

This would also be a great price for us single dads too.

Yeah it should be like half that

You can get a regular sized house with that Money lol

I can get a mansion in Texas for that

@@YourGraceMyLady Feels like they are paying extra to be PC.

@Andres Leon you dont know math

I'm Reno it is 😂

YES, YES, YOU CAN BUILD A BEAUTIFUL TINY HOUSE FOR THE MONEY YOUR TALKING ABOUT 20 TO 70 THOUSAND... HERE IN TEXAS ...

@@gailkohr5771 Tennessee arkansas too

@@gailkohr5771 exactly i lived in San Antonio .it was like that , according to an individual budget. Here in florida its very hard.And the salaries are way lower.Unless youre loaded.

Plan on building my own soon don’t want to work for a home my whole life

😂😂😂 .Theres cities and state that its easier to provide an affordable roof

The most important.is a live...

w23857980 - true or would you rather have a big home and no bank account🤔

At least your house payment won't keep rising like rent!

Depends how much you had in your bank account to begin with. For a lot of people this would be affordable. It is a good option compared to only having large houses you can't afford without renting out rooms. Who wants to manage roommates in retirement?

Right on point. Im 50, and do not desire stairs. What would a retiree want with a set of stairs.

They could have stairlift installed if needed.

Jamaican Girl they’re expensive and not appropriate or all disabilities. And, no help for ppl in wheelchairs especially those with mitochondrial dysfunction that wastes a lot of their daily energy just trying to get upstairs. I couldn’t manage it with my disabilities. Many folks def need one floor. This is why disabled housing is always on one floor. Too many barriers otherwise.

single-level houses need more land, and as we see here, most of the price is in the land. At best, they could build some garden-style 2-3 story flats with elevators. But then, it wouldn't be "cute."

The second floor is just a guest bedroom or something like, the rest of the house including main bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, bath are all in the ground floor anyways

Ok but Google Maps can't even find Messina NY on the map. I'm guessing you're comparing a small rural town to a booming metro city. Try driving about 1.5 hours to the nearest airport and see what the home prices are there.

Reno homes have become very expensive! And these homes are very nice with the best appliances and finishes. I lived in Phoenix, Arizona when downtown was being renovated and made residential. Those homes were mostly loft spaces, all the best luxury finishes and appliances, like these. They were purchased mostly by people who worked downtown and had a higher than median income. (Think attorney, doctor, nurse, museum curator, cpa, managers, etc.) While getting the homes built and sold, the city was making enough money to clean up the downtown area with beautiful parks and other amenities. Shopping and event venues moved in, special free buses/shuttles that stayed in downtown, etc. The result is a beautiful, vibrant, urban center. Reno is doing much the same. Many places they need to go will be within walking distance, groceries banks, post office, medical care, library. Everyone will use these new city amenities! The entire city will benefit! These homes aren't any more expensive than any any other home of the same, relative size. But what the buyers will eventually get in the city will hike up the value of their purchase in a major way. These people are making a wise decision buying these homes!

Messina must be in the hood.

@@TheresaPowers Messina is not in the hood. Messina is in the sticks. The nearest job is 90 minutes away in Ottawa, Canada. Yeah.

You're forgetting that we're near or at the top of the 'bubble' and in an major city experiencing high growth and companies moving nearby. There is a demand. You're also forgetting that these are not 'Tiny Houses' which are typically off grid and independent. These units are tied into the system which means infrastructure. Infrastructure such as underground piping, electric, and sewer and also grading the lot, and concrete foundations and sidewalks etc. costs money. This project was more than 10 tiny houses rolled onto a parking lot.

You're missing the point. Not everyone wants a big house. I myself intentionally sold a 1700 sqft house in favor of downsizing to a tiny home. Bye bye insanely high property taxes!

ME TOO AND THE DIFFERENCE I SAVE I CAN HIRE SOMEONE TO DO THE YARD AND COME CLEAN THE HOUSE ONCE AND A WHILE HERE IN TEXAS WHERE I LIVE...

@@ginnymiller2448.. yes I get the desire to downsize .. but a tiny small house like this should not cost 220k .. I would hate that location , it's dirty and disgusting with a ton of homeless. Basically it looks like a glorified trailer park . I'm with you , no thank you .

But I don't want to live in Alaska.

lol

😃😃😃

Kimikim Inurface Putting mom in a converted shed....pure class....is the lawnmower in her bedroom?

I have to agree with David Ramsey..People when start to use to much credit tend to become stupid

Kimikim Inurface I would expect under $100k. They certainly are nice with the details within and you’re not sharing walls. I couldn’t afford it. There should be little communities like this that are nice but affordable.

Franco R nobody wants to live in North Dakota.

You can be the richest guy in my country :)

There are a lot more reasons to buy a tiny home than to save money. Some people want to have a great location and be close to the action. Others (like myself) don't want to own or maintain spaces that won't get used...so a small space is perfect. I live in a small apartment right in Seattle. It's more money and less space than I've ever had...but I love the location and I wake up every day happy to be here.

Erica Gamet there are more reasons but are any of them really that important compared to the price? Living downtown puts you closer to drug problems and drunk shitheads walking around at night. The price may be only 1 out of 10 considerations but for MOST people should mean as much as the other 9 combined

What about the value of community and location?

It's called greed - by nasty looking women. Glad ppl in the comments aren't being fooled

Vera Technical Translation and Writing I agree, however buyers have agreed to buy into their greed. They apparently found this acceptable. Just think if no one bought them maybe the prices would have dropped, it’s happens all the time with builders. I think this is nuts and I’m from Cali.

Well it’s prob the location. But I agree. Why is everything costing so much, the US can’t catch up to these prices.

@@johnhorton9637 Thank you sir

The land cost has to be at least a million alone. Split amongst 10 that's 100,000 just to be in the city. You really don't know how property works, do you.

@@Paffy But do the buyers own the land? Or Is this a Co-op type of ownership? Maybe a Trailer Park type of situation? $220,000 is too much for a Tiny home. 450 sq. feet 😒

I wish there was a laughing reaction emoji. Those homes NOT including land probably cost between 50 and 80 thousand dollars to build. It's crazy how uneducated and ignorant people can be.

@@alexanderkucinich3753 you're right I wasn't taking the land ownership into consideration I'm just talkin about house it self. I was looking at alot tiny home videos to get ideas for my own. I ended up building mine out of concrete for 60k.

Yeah, so why do they cost over $200k? My 4 bedroom home in Cincinnati isn’t much more than that.

I am so glad you commented on this...how are they holding up after a number of years

@@sharonmccoy4535 in what respect?

A nurse with higher than median income? Think again.

@@greengirl-kr1vf was this for this thread?

Brooks Anderson I don’t think you can own land in Hawaii though...

Angela Gojilde - I sincerely ask, what town are you in?

Even in San Antonio, a downtown living space is pretty much the same. The closer to downtown you are the more you pay, supposably for convenience. Even though downtown has only 1 grocery store, no laundry and no dry cleaners.

@@AliasHSW we live in Menifee

Shut up

When she said $220,000, all the appeal went out the door.

Or a double wide for $80K or less.

record it for us

i agree in canada

I'm not sure why they are called tiny homes at this size. They are just small (micro homes)

Well, consider that some of us 60's something year old ladies like to garden, grow fruit trees, sit under the shade instead of using air conditioning, raise a few rabbits and chicken, and not curl up in a ball and die....I like land!

@@SandcastleDreams So fine! Go for it! As my mum used to say, "There's a lid for every pot!"
