*Nice but it's way too expensive. I'd rather purchase a two-story shed for $26K via Home Depot and add another $20K+ to finish the interior.*

I was thinking 50k as I was watching. 200k is custom home pricing, not pre-fab pricing.

$210K?!?!? They're cracked!!! I could buy a 5 acre lot, get a level slab poured and stubbed in for electric, water and septic, get a septic installed and well drilled, and have a 500 square foot home built by a local builder from plans available at my local building supply store for quite a bit less than that. These are handsome looking homes but for that price I honestly can't see them selling very many. Especially if that price does not include shipping and set up.

Great designs, outrageous costs!

Love the look but the price is too high. I bet a smart mobile home manufacturer could almost duplicate that, but for much less. I keep thinking I'm going to hear a lower price, then I get disappointed all over again.

Just a couple additional things to think of: Many municipalities have a minimum square footage requirement for homes. The additional cost of utilities as well as the cost of the foundation to set it on.

Prefabs need to come down to a quarter of this price to not be just niche sheds for rich people.

Thank you Kerry, I was all about this one because of the look, I liked plan B too! But, IMO, the purpose of going tiny, besides carbon footprint, is to be able to afford a home and again, IMO, 2k isn't it for your average person! Thank you for your videos, they're great, I look forward to them!🙂

This is only the very early stage of building a house you need so much more, like foundation, driveway, permits and so on .I know I have built many.

Kerry, I don't know how old you are (I would guess *maybe* 25 from your looks, maybe younger), but I am 64. On my nightstands (two, one on each side of the bed) is my CPAP machine, my reading glass for the bedroom, dog snacks, a glass of water that is fully consumed by morning because of how dry my mouth gets due to the CPAP, nitro tablets in case I have a heart attack, three books, my Kindle and its charging cable, the cable to charge my iPhone while I sleep (and then my iPhone is on the nightstand, too), my clock radio, my landline phone, the remote for the TV, and a photo in a frame of the great love of my life who died 45 years ago whom I still miss every day. So, yes, I really do use the night stands. This is what I hate about these homes, so far. They are designed for healthy people who seem to not have any life. Kitchens without room for my Kitchenaid stand mixer, pasta maker accessory, air frier, knife set, turkey pan, ice cream maker, and all the other kitchen appliances I have. The bathrooms barely have room for my shower chair let alone my CPAP cleaner, towels, bathrobe, skin care products, medications (I take 19 pills each day), luffa, and a place to hang the bath matt to dry. There isn't any filing cabinet space, room for photo albums, or the like in bedrooms. I can hang like, idk, five whole pieces of art from my 50 or 60 pieces on the whole place. When I am old enough to need a walker and electric chair, where will they go? What about my stereo and 1,000 vinyl records? Am to let go of everything I've cherished and loved all my life? I can't imagine sleeping in a bed that could rise to the ceiling and crush me (see the accident at the Condor Club in San Francisco that killed Carol Doda's pianist). There isn't a carport, let alone a garage! Where does one's tools go? How about one of these prefabs that one could ACTUALLY live in? I am thinking of one for Thermal, California. It gets so hot there with regularity that the time it got that hot in Canada, the whole town burned up (see Lytton). I want an AC that can make a 50°F thermal difference and insulation to hold it. There isn't water storage for this off-grid nonsense, let alone any purifiers, pressure pumps, or gray water systems for agriculture. There also aren't any living plants in these things. Kid, I like you and your reviews a lot, you seem very knowledge for a youngster, but you need to be more hard hitting. Ask the tough stuff!

Manta North has some cool at architects. Gorgeous building!

Until prefab builders figure out how to do a turnkey home for $200/sf or less, they are going to have a tough time. $400/sf is not competitive considering all of the trade-offs and drawbacks for prefab.

The thought of a Canadian ordering weekly nacho supplies warms my heart 😌

Fantastic idea 🤔😃 I also love both design 👍🏾 we have good taste 😄

That's a pretty nice set up, and it's reasonably affordable. The one I priced for Europe came in at 139,100 euro. That's with the solar option and a few other upgrades.

Love this review man.

Thank you so much for making this video!!!

Yes, really like this Manta North 👍

I like these homes. They are simply done yet beautiful. Be blessed and be safe

You could put the bed on the opposite wall (with the window), and the dresser on the middle wall with a flat screen TV if you so choose. That way you can have the end tables. On the two bedroom you have more closet space. That second room could be an office with a deck to walk out onto,and take a break from work.

Beautiful, clean design; would like to find something this stylish for $50,000 to $75,000.

Fascinating, thanks for sharing 💐

I wonder how lenders will handle the upfront payment plans? Additionally, it's basically a mobile home with superior style/finishes so the $210k is way steep for the puny square footage. My guess is the MAJORITY of the new startups pushing into the space will not be around in 2030, just the big boys like boxabl and the like. BTW congrats on reaching 50k subs!

Very nice Kerry, thanks!

Like the floorplans! I think the quick setup to livability offsets the cost a bit and less hassle does enhance their value. Still like your last posting best! Thanks for the time and effort. I know these videos are laborious. 🙏😉👍

The scale of windows and finish in the example is nice.

so great this program

Yeah right I really want or need that. There are a lot of alternatives to that ultra expense space.

I like the Canadian way you say, “PROcess.” 😄

FYI - Snow loads in the Northwest are around 40# sf and up, so you'd have to have a pitched roof! Should be a necessary mention. Good info! Thank you!

Does that include permitting fees, sewer lines, water lines, gas lines, electrical, site prep, foundation, etc? Could get real expensive for such a tiny home.

can you add a second 1/2 bath: toilet and sink, maybe, a small stall shower? loved your tour and the time you put into showing the additional appliances! can you use your home fridge/freezer rather than theirs? just askin'!

SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide} and soooo cool.!!!

It actually looks like it could fit in with alot of neighborhoods. It's not ultramodern craziness.

These are attractive, but there are two concerns. The first is that it basically has a camper kitchen - you must not cook. Lol The second is the lack of a roof overhang, seriously inviting moisture issues. The kitchen is okay for a weekend getaway or rental. But I'd still be concerned about the moisture issue. I'd pick something different because of that unfixable issue alone. Like other commenters have said, the cost is ridiculous. It only makes sense if you have a lot of money and are in a rush - probably few of your viewers.

Insane pricing! No thanks! My daughter bought a new 3 bedroom double wide mobile home for roughly $120,000 delivered, setup, on a concrete foundation. Plus the company she bought from arranged to have a septic system installed. Total price $120,000. in middleTennessee.

They look good. Price is crazy!

What a cool concept.

Where those prices in Canadian or USD? Either way, ~210K for 500 square feet is a pretty steep price unless you live in an expensive area.

Kerry- could you comment on modular builders who can supply to Maine? Many of these are West Coast & Mountain region specific.

Hi Kerry! Recently I just discovered your channel and it is amazing 🤩 Unfortunately I’m not from US or any other nearby country, would it be possible the Prefab Home can ship to other country?

Love your channel💗

My god, I just built a 1.5 story brick home with full basement for 50k less. This is insane.

Wow! Great new mini homes for the rich.

From reading the comments every week, Kerry, we want a 2000 sq ft home that's made with good quality for no more than $10k. It must have complete off-grid capability, made in the US and made in a month with no shipping costs. Hahahaha

Hey, I’m looking for a backyard shed house for entertainment that we can attach an attached patio cover to with a fire pit, etc. I want around 9.5’ ceiling height inside as well. We don’t really need a kitchen or a bathroom but if there are cheap options to have a very small kitchenette that’s fine. We like the modern shed look as well… I’ve only watched a handful of your vids (like a dozen! Haha) any suggestions? Looking budget-wise obviously but want to take a look at some options

Wow $210 k ! in my area $135k stick built on sight for a 3bd 2ba 1650sf.

It’s called a double wide, very popular in the USA!

Great info🏆

Love them!

Just over $200,000. WHAT! Is what I said. I have no idea how it is in other parts of North America. But where I live, In Southeast Texas, in my -- small -- town (not even near a big city) they are building $200,000 -- $250,000.00 homes. What you get is an actual home, built on a slab, 2-floors, anywhere from 3 to 4 bedrooms, two baths, a garage -- single or double. Central heating and A/C, sitting on a plot of land (included with the home). Oh, and most have 6' tall privacy fencing (as part of the community attributes) because they are built close together. Wow. I will take my small town and a traditional built home any day. If I want a mobile home, I will take a double wide, for $100,000. - $150,000. Now, I know there are people out there who are fortunate enough to relieve money through yellow water, and good on them (if you get my drift -- KZfaq did not like my using the 'p' word). They would probably like this for a second or vacation home in some remote place where they do not have to worry about people watching them through those big windows, at night. But for me -- and I suspect I am part of a larger majority -- I need the most bang for my buck -- and this is not it. I guess this would be good for someone who has absolutely, no possessions, other than one weeks change of clothes as there is virtually no storage space in these. And anyone who actually cooks -- full meals, will not be happy in that kitchen. But I understand that there are people out there that live light and aloof -- no family connection, so no gatherings and, virtually only sleep in their 'home' -- but even they could get something this size for way cheaper. I apologize for being critical, but this took me by surprise and actually -- I was shocked. Thank goodness for the internet, because had I walked into a showroom and spoke to a real person, I would not have been able to silence my shock -- I would have verbalized it -- like a knee jerk reaction. Please excuse my rant.

How did I miss this video last night? Sorry. Does the price include shipping? What prep has to be done at site? I’m assuming the price excludes site prep. Another choice to consider. I’m not fond of the two door bedroom either. Thanks again.

Incredible. $210,000 for a SMALL house. Here where I’m at in the south central US, you can get a 3 BR/2B LARGE double wide for under $140,000 or a totally remodeled used 2BR/2B single wide for under $40,000!

Like some other prefab companies, Manta North's website is truly barebones. Where is it made (N Europe, presumably), how is it shipped? They invite calls for A's to such Q's...but how do you assess your initial interest?

Those are nice, but I would like to see the kitchen cabinets to make sure they don't look cheap, and I wonder about the bathroom if you can get a shower tub combination or not. Finally that's a little more expensive than I was expecting, but then again who can say what to expect anymore!

I'd like to know about insulation and plumbing. Would also like to know about is "Set up options and what they cost".

I presume shipping is extra, depending on location. Their website says nothing about it. Do you have any more info on this? Also, where are they located?

Great video! The final price, does it include delivery and hookup? Tx

Definitely overpriced.

A 3-man carpentry crew can dry-in this house in just a few days. Plumbing and electrical work in another 2-3 days. Easier than prefab without the transport problem. If you want a prefab home in this configuration, get a travel trailer.

Does the price you quoted include shipping/delivery?

The first one looks exactly like the layout of my grandma's trailer from the '80's

I gotta have one

I like both exteriors and I’m fond of plans a, b and d except the bed heads being on the same wall as the bedroom doors. That’s really bad Feng shui.

Informative video Thanks… obviously not low budget… but specs seem good.

You mentioned a washing machine you did not mention a drying machine. Is it a wash/dryer? Also is there an induction cooktop and incinerator toilet?

Thanks.

This would be cool if you could get a half size extension on the end, or as a T, so it could have a real bathroom with a tub. Or a real kitchen. Plan B would be great for a home office. You could build a little deck off the office and on nice nights take your laptop outside. Only 7kW of solar and a piddly 6.5kWh battery for $29k? Yeesh, even getting a professional install you could almost double that for the same price. Nearly triple if you DIY as much as possible and buy used panels. Really not worth it. Especially with all the other necessities like utilities and foundation that others pointed out.

What about delivery and installation costs. Are they included in the quoted price?

$211,000+ is the cost of these. I kinda thought the idea 0f tiny houses was to get away from mortgages and life long debt.

What is the difference between a prefab and a trailer home? How will do they hold up to storms?

Haus House...German built...fantastic, strong and well built.

I wonder where you are supposed to put your utilities. For instance if you are in the country, you'll need a water pump and pressure tank, for your well. You'll aslo need a hot water heater, unless a small on demand heater is used. They show a washer, but what about a drier?

Can you get special glass that is one way from inside only?

For that price, last year, I bought a three-bedroom ranch with a mother-in-law apartment with 2 floors of space and a deck in New Mexico. So that price seems ridiculous to me.

Will you show us the Europe options next time?

What company will ship prefab homes to South Africa? Can you do a video.

NICE PREFAB...

Does the price include hooking into the sewer, water, electric and gas? I assume the cement slab, along with the utilities will be on the purchaser to have installed prior to delivery and at a separate expense..

wow nice house

Many, many years ago Sears and Roebuck sold homes in this manner.

thanks, K

You didn’t mention anything about the cost of shipping it to your location? Is that included in the cost of the price quoted already? Also, does one need a foundation? 💜🙏🏼

Do you happen to know of any companies in Canada that are more cube like or like the foldable ones? I’m in western Canada and everything is so expensive.

I spent half that for my 3 bedroom , 2 bath, garage house on a large lot. I guess if you have money to blow you could order one to put next to a lake for a vacation home.

Paid less than $300k for almost 5000 sq ft on a 1/3rd of an acre in a fantastic neighborhood. No thanks to the tiny prefab house

2 bedrooms, white kitchen, exterior black 👍

Wow . 200g for something that small excluding solar . I was expecting between 120-150g and that includes the solar panels . Maybe 1 in 50 of your viewers or less can afford this kind of housing . Even if the materials used to build the house is top class still will not pay 200g for a small house .

This company is out of their mind. 💰

I’m a real estate professional. I am interested in purchasing one and for my clients.

High end mobile homes. I like them if made with high end construction!

I realize it’s a small ask that may seem silly but it would be great if you keep the segment title on screen in the corner through videos so that when say you’re talking about a home I can google it or write it down. As is now you post it at the beginning and then sometimes the name is only mentioned another one or two times in the video and not often put on the screen again.

The company had better offer and update their financial status and thus not lose all of the deposits prior to shipping due to a bankruptcy, etc…

But what about the insulation, heating/cooling? What is the R-value?

Looks like something I saw from Spain years ago.

Craaaazy

I wonder if they will still be selling , say 5 to 10 years from now?

Love the online ordering. Looking forward to all modular offering same before long. Oh yeah - broken record: do they mention fire/wind/hail/termite resistance? Snow load?

The prices are insane. Especially for the weekend homes (not available in the US). For that amount of money, I can build 250 m2 house, not a tiny cottage.

You can buy a home in the south for 290k. Bigger square footage. Very modern, granite counter tops etc. Same home in California 700k atleast. Check out states like Arkansas, Or anywhere in South. Florida has gone up too much.
