This is my main gripe with tiny homes. It’s not that they are small, but that their price per square foot is so high.
I’m not sure if the costs are truly that high or there’s just a lot of profit because of the trend. Similar for ISU homes. They seem cool, but not when they cost the same or more than traditional construction.
This thing is $80/square foot before assembly and final prep.

- balderdash 3y agoEhh most relative valuation metrics only really stand up when you are talking about good comparables (Like to like) But, It’s just a fixed variable cost issue with tiny homes for the most part. E.g. the $10k for appliances/mechanical would be pretty similar for 250sqft home and a 1000sqft, but all of a sudden they cost either ~$40sqft or ~$10sqft
- prepend 3y agoI wouldn’t expect most appliances to be in this price. And things like hvac and water heater should definitely be much cheaper in a 500sqft tiny house than a 2000 square foot fixed house.
