Yup, we're getting screwed no matter what size the house is. Next thing we'll know if tiny homes become the "new normal" we'll be paying $300k+ for these shacks.
🤣🤣🤣 if nobody buy them, it will go back to the nature. I hope nobody buying them. Texas have so much LAND, and people think it’s okay to live in a BOX.
So I guess the 1950s homes that were built 600 to 800 square feet and are now worth over half a million in places like California were some plot by the elite.
Lennar Homes is a Texas company based out of Friendswood, TX and created by an oil company to facilitate the needs of housing in the east Texas refinery area.
Can't imagine all the neighbor problems like the ones who think it's okay to blast music or own three or four large vehicles creating major in and out issues for everyone else around their shoebox. Lennar is shady and this development has future urban blight written all over it.
You see these small homes by the thousands in any town in mexico, these are for the poor that are moving up and cost around 18,000 to 25,000 dollars, this is a sign of the times. 😢
Overpriced, other homes with more larger lot are being sold at that price and that price theyre selling it for- on the southside of SA?!? Definitely Overpriced for the location and the barely existent yard. Doesnt even look like that good quality.
I saw these a few months ago and was so disappointed in the quality. These are cardboard houses with the lowest quality materials I have ever seen in any home . Drive around and look at these “new” home roofs sagging and tons of obvious quality issues.
Just be sure to do your homework on any builder before you sign a contract - at least make sure you get a comprehensive 10 year warranty. I think as of right now, that Lennar has a $30k incentive and an interest rate buy down, bringing the price down to ~ $110k - but that still makes it ~ $300 per square foot!
$1,050 average payment per month is only principle and interest. Add insurance and property taxes for around $550 per month and you are looking 👀 at $1600 per month. Insurance & property taxes are only going to increase year over year. You do the math.
Imagine normalizing this. Like for real though. This is some utopian nightmare we are being force fed as being a good thing. Like. Look at what you are calling a home 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 FOR THAT PRICE!!
10 months for a tiny home made out of toothpicks? :) In 3rd world countries people are building real brick homes with their neighbors in less time, and expecially less money lol :) :)
These homes are too expensive for what you are getting and entirely not mobile friendly. gotta take a ladder upstairs? gonna be a pain to also get furniture up there if it can even fit
Too freaking close. On top of that, you have no clue what class of neighbors you’re getting. I can easily see the homes deprecating as fast as they fill up. They should have thought about throwing some type if greenery or fences in the mix and section ed off 4 to five homes with adequate space.
Those homes are ugly, they look like shoe boxes or trailers. The neighborhood is hideous, it already looks like a slum and it's brand new! Seriously, this is a dystopia! and the prices aren't even good!
How do you get anything up there safely??? A bed? A desk? Even if you only use it for storage? You are on a LADDER w/round rungs, which is the most dangerous kind, and if you miss one rung, your life can change...forever...in a split second, and most especially if you're only using one hand to climb and the other to carry things. The rungs are ROUND and not flat, which is such bad design. The fenced backyards are amazing, especially for people with pets and (if the HOA permits it), you can have a shed to keep your lawn tools, plus have nice patio furniture. I love, love, love tiny houses but a ladder like this house provides is a built-in lawsuit because it's a design flaw from the architect. A secondary issue is all the heat is going to rise, and although the mini split is just below the "opening" to go in there, I don't know how well it will circulate. A lot of electrical outlets up there, so if you can carry a fan up there...while you climb w/one hand. /eye roll Honestly, I almost think that would have been a better outside deck with a staircase leading up from the outside if they didn't have the space to put an inside staircase. This is definitely a house for a 20-early 30s something person with no kids. Can you imagine having children having to climb that ladder to go into their rooms when they're sick, or little ones when they have to go to the bathroom (and it's not like you can have a potty up there for them because where are you going to dump it?), or to have to climb up there every night to read bedtime stories to them? This agent got it right, it's pretty much a room for gamers to hang out and play video games (or maybe a yoga studio for someone super healthy, strong, flexible, and fit, and you can leave your mat up there). Even if you wanted to store Christmas decorations up there, can you imagine what a PITA it would be to get it all up there, and bring it down once a year. I hate to be so negative because clearly this developer has done what so many refuse to do. I want them to succeed so they will build more. Fingers crossed that ladder is easier to get up and down than it appears. You definitely can't sleep up there because if a tornado warning came in the middle of the night, or god forbid there was a fire, you wouldn't be able to get down fast enough. Maybe it could be a music (small instruments), yoga, and gaming room? $400/sq ft is a lot...
The point of tiny homes is home ownership and less expenses! Paying rent for a home is a RIP off and will just lead to the same problem as apartment gouging!
2 issues here, and 1 is a game breaker. 1st, the price. those homes are likely in the 70k range to build. the extra 60k is the cost of the land. They really needed to build them on lower cost land area's. Those are probably 120k land plots split in half. 2- Its an HOA community... that means even if you own the house flat out, you can still loose it to the HOA... there are so many HOA horror stories that you just dont' want to live there.
@@jacquigonzalez5447 Insulation, heating and AC, appliances, the price of stoves, fridges, and such have gone up due to supply chain issues. Bathroom fixtures. All of that quickly adds in.. hence 54k quickly becomes 64k.
@@jenniferstewarts4851 supply chain issues? I'm in Russia and it's completely isolated from the west... The supply chain issues are fake in the USA to facilitate higher costs. It's a fact. Even RUSSIA DOESNT HAVE THIS ISSUE STOP BELIEVING THE LIES
Price per sq ft is more than double what a $300k house (in a nice area) is. People paying $400 a sq ft for an east/south side house is just crazy. Houses literally around the corner are $145 per sq ft.
Simple, affordable & get people out of their apartments! What’s not for you, may be great for me. There’s an incredible need for affordable homes. Cities, counties, builders, tiny home villages all have rules, stipulations & will enforce them, just like larger home areas. Just because something is small doesn’t make it bad. Go back to your big homes & talk about all the crazy people living in that tiny home village. Guess what, someday it may be you wanting to downsize to a tiny home community. Don’t criticize because it’s not for you. Let freedom live.❤
I think there's a lot of people that think these aren't worth it, and grant it, they probably aren't, but I still think this is one solution in the housing crisis. Honestly, the trend is that families are getting smaller, and lots of young people don't really care to buy homes or have children. If you can help the new generations have affordable options, then maybe people won't feel like life is getting so catastrophic that they can't even reach their home-ownership goals. Personally, I hate big homes, I plan on having no children, I don't want to stay in Texas forever, I make a good income. To me, this is the perfect investment.
Given the size of the house and the poor build quality known from the constructing company, the lot itself isn't worth what you'd be paying. Let alone the expenses in keeping the home in decent working order
Sadly this is not an investment property. It’s oil field and Toyota housing. No different than fancier RV parks with amenities. It will become low income housing soon enough when they don’t sell in this dragging real estate market,
I feel terrible for anyone who buys there and that price. VERY low preforming schools, high crime, no room, no parking will created countless issues which include people parking on grass. This has projects written all over it. Shame on any agent who advises a client to buy here, its a school to prison pipeline project. Buy a condon for less in a good school district and lower violent crime rates. Your children will thank you someday.
I think what a lot of south side realestate developers who develop for Toyota workforce dont realize is that the majority of the employees work for suppliers, not Toyota proper. While Toyota pays its workers well, the suppliers generally do not. That said, just south of San antonio you can get a house on land, where you dont have tonlisten tonyour neighbor snoring and farting for the same money.
The housing market won't crash. Think about it banks have strict lending standards + there are thousands of potential home buyers crossing the southern border
There is Tiny and then there is ugly...these are ugly. I have seen much more attractive homes in a Tiny community by Tiny home builders with much more warmth...the prices are crazy too. Disappointing...the Southside deserves better!
0:42 I am an English teacher. You are not speaking correct English. "Even the property taxes (that are being collected on the Southside) are going to revitalize..." 'Property taxes' are the Subject. 'Are going to revitalize' is the Verbal Phrase. You need an Object. Taxes will revitalize...What? English is SVO. Subject Verb Object Need an Object. Sentence makes no sense.
This is over priced for money hungry Americans who don't look out for ppl,that can't afford to buy at these prices!!😢 you all better try Incredibly tiny homes By Randy Jones In Newport , Tennessee real homes and affordable and no corners cut home plus financing available.prices start around $15k-100k. East Tennessee is the home buyers dream.they will even deliver or you pick it up yourself.
This is NOT A GOOD DESIGN,NOT EVEN ENOUGH ROOM FOR CAR(S). THIS IS ABOUT WHAT ELSE BUT CORPORATE GREED THEY ARE THE SAME AS A SINGLE WIDE TRAILER FOR 59,000.BUT THEY ARE CHARGING MUCH MORE. NO THANK YOU.
Ugly cookie cutter houses for way too much money. I would not want a house that looks exactly like every house in the neighborhood. Also, no yard is a huge no go. I love watching Tiny Home video's of unique homes that people built themselves and have more soul to them. These mass produced ones are supper ugly. If there is an HOA over the new community it means who ever buys in is double scammed. HOA's do not protect homeowners, they only add to the fleecing.
Want fix the issue make house smaller or have less people no make more people will increase the growth in gdp that doesnt mean you be rucher the country will cause more people . More people to tax more people meed to spend and prices will go up and more people more jobs... not less. But having less people mean more resources for less prices will be cheaper jobs will be the same percentage wise HAVE LESS KIDS
I wish Lennar would plan better we’re they put those green boxes for cable and electric posts. Instead of the front of the homes. Looks awful. Why not the back yard?
This is misleading. Tiny homes are on wheels. These “tiny homes” are tiny conventional homebuilding. The concentration of this many conventional homes on the land is not a good way to build a truly thriving community. This mentality is ghettoizing the south side. Shame shame shame
I mean, why not? With current trends, families are getting smaller and people aren't making enough money. Be honest with yourself, there's so many people in San Antonio that can't afford homes. If a very young couple wants their own space, this could work. Plus, the city is growing, who cares about picture perfect huge suburbs.
This is in the United States...and Texas at that...this development is the result of unfettered Capitalism. It is a private development attempting to prey on desperate would-be homebuyers
I design homes and have been doing so for 15years. This is unacceptable for so many reasons. People need to start buying used. Bigger with the same price.
I'm find with them being $100k but they should cost no more than that but these are built by Lennar which is a company that has it's own loan financing which it looks like they're trying to bait people into financing through them which from my research is bad because of the contracts they give for it.
10 Months to build these?? That's INSANE! These can be built in 4 weeks with a modular type of set up (not mobile) and for much cheaper. I'm a big believer in Tiny homes built and developed the right way but this is going to be a future slum in a decade!
