FIND YOUR DREAM HOME OR APARTMENT
Perhaps the issue is location but these are not economical prices; I live between Tacoma and Olympia Washington, in a semi rural area a block and a half from a nice sized lake where the homeowners association owns the control of the lake...right on the beach front we have a large open beamed clubhouse which we rent out for large gatherings, a smaller one for small groups, a private beach area complete with complex docks and swimmiing area, sheltered and open picnic areas, beach side bathrooms, boat launch area, and a playground. (It is gated beach area) my 1,800 sq ft house sits on an acre and a half...the back half all fenced wth a large 20'x 26' shed for storage of lawn tractor and larger items as well as a smaller 10' x 12' fully enclosed shed for storage of more fragile items). . It is an upper grade manufactured home with two good sized bedrooms, one a large master suite, two bathrooms, t;he one with the master suite is very large with separate shower and double sinks and counters/ cabinets, living room, dining room, large kitchen, morning room, laundry room, and a large enclosed sunroom (12 x 20') open via french doors from the dining room to the back of the house,,,nicely landscaped with five fruit trees, it presents a lovely and serene sight. The rear of the property has a fair number of coniferous trees and the way the house is situated there is a good privacy factor. It is a wonderful setting...if I were to sell i today it would bring about $200,000.00. Before the housing crash a couple of years ago it would have been listed around $260,000.00 and will no doubt return to that level in a few more years. At any rate, it is still valued at much more than I paid for it twelve years ago and I would have no problem finding a buyer. The house and property are in great shape; The access to larger cities is simple, within a sixty mile radius i can get to Tacoma, Olympia, Seattle, Sea Tac International airport. Mt Rainier, the oceans, and all kinds of indoor and outdoor sports and cultural entertainment and activities. Both both community college level insitutions as well as universities are readily accessible and very high level complex medical care are readily available. If you want extremely high end prices you can find them but you can also find very reasonably priced better than average homes and property...these home in this article do not meet that description.
Quote: "The company started when grocery clerk Jay Shafer built an 89-square-foot home for himself out of concern about the impact a large home would have on the environment."
Has thid dude thought about what impact would living in a coffin have on the human? Homes for wackos, who think that the environment has to be better served than men.
Prefab what the hell is that?? Does "Fabio" come with it when its delivered lol...cool for the chicks
but if it s him and me he better have a bunch of beer and a game console+cards. I think i will avoid this little scam all together climb a tree on my land and just nail together a clubhouse or live in a large tent if things are that bad lol.
Come on guys ... . give them a break ! ! ! The bank is "only" trying to make money . . ... loaning your money back to you at a high interest . . . . and convincing you to believe the prefab home is a great deal ! ! ! and that being said .. . what about the zoning areas, special building restrictions and other ancillary building requirements unique to your city? . . .. who modifies your existing plans to adjust for these. Ohhhh did they forget to tell you . . . . once you submit there plans to obtain approval for the permitting process .. and get "rejected" then you need to take your plans to an architectural and engineering firm to modify the plans . . .and all for a "small fee"! Yea right ! Once the plans have been corrected then the "Pre-fab" company makes all the adjustments for no additional fee right? I don't think so. So then when your finished with your pre-fab home . . you find out that you paid 25% more than had you just gone out and purchased a home. If it is such a great deal ..... . where are all these pre-fab homes that are being built? Not in my city . ... .how about yours. There is another way of looking at this .. strictly philantrophic. Although the banks received a windfall in bail out money . .that most did not need .. . they need your business for they can gouge you more. Then when the economy takes another dive .. they can repossess your home in 60 days for the "big" mistake you did in buying the home . . . . after they encouraged you to buy the home !
This is not affordability, this is Highway Robbery!!!!!!!!!!!! Most folks have kitchens that are larger than these "homes." Find a rare frog to worry about and quit speaking about housing as it is quite clear that you are CLUELESS about the subject!! Wow, I am shocked at the ignorance expressed!
to the persaon who wrote this article: you idiot-the whole idea here is affordability, on a smaller scale. i see nothing in the article that comes even close to those 2 concepts. i would suggest that you go to a mobile home sales lot. i was at one a couple of days ago-- a brand new 16x72, 3 bedroom, 2 bath built, delivered and set up in a park or on your own land in 6 weeks for $44K. near as i can see, that has everything in your article beat at least a mile, maybe more. pretty obvious you did not know what to look for when you planned this article.

The price of home may be lower,
NOW TELL US THE PRICE OF THE LAND THAT NEEDS TO GO UNDER IT
again it depends on where you want to live
is there a house on the land already that needs to be removed
HOW many empty lots do you see, as you drive around ?
Again the home may be inexspencive , but the land will kill you
It all comes down to one thing...are you tired of the rich getting all the bailouts and us working men getting nothing? Take a look at what I found and see why the rich are trying to hide this for themselves. G00GLE the term ' FAST STOCK BUDGET ' all one term and click the first site. Go right to the 'PENNY STOCK' page to see what the rich don't want you to know. It is time your family lives the good life and this will help. THIS IS AMAZING!!! THIS IS A MUSSSST SEEE!!! '
tell you something right now. Never and I mean never enter into an agreement on prefab housing without at least exploring options with a realtor. Jenifer Sever lives in the mountains of colorado, I've seen shacks not much bigger than outhouses sell as mountain cabins in those hills for a quarter million dollars
