- This was an an incredible year in the Prefab Home industry full of new designs, innovation and new companies. I've been in offsite construction for over a decade and starting tracking everything going on industry wide about two years ago. This has been by far the most exciting and in this video you get a glimpse of why. In this video I go through a list of a 10 of some of the coolest prefab homes. There is so much going on industry wide and I think this is just the beginning. Watch and learn more about some of the options currently available in the prefab home industry.

My best tip: If your determined to build your home for as cheap as possible, look into Metal Building contractors. Build garage, and while living in that garage build your Zero Emission Home out front! 🤔
You stole my idea!
That’s been my idea also. Being that by selling my home.
Looking for lot and doing all my checks yes, including percolating.
Then, proceeding lots to do. In the long run, it’ll pay off for itself.
Off Grid
Would that be legal in california
Yup I'm going the same way bought the land last year cleard it now in process in building the garage next year the barnominium in the fall
@@darlenepreble1550 Nobody in the rest of the country understands California. You can sleep in a tent downtown and 💩 in the street but would probably spend years in prison if you lived in this on your own property out of city limits.
My therapist can't explain why I'm so fascinated with Prefab but you are my enabler, thank you. I love the corny humor and awesome content, keep it coming!
Haha glad to hear! Thanks for watching
Ditto
I've been wondering lately, if I start up therapy again...will my therapist be pro-tiny house/prefab or anti-tiny house/prefab?
Thanks for sharing all of our options. Your videos always make me to move!
Great list! Can’t wait to see what 2023 brings. Happy New Year!
Thanks Kerry. Just getting into the tiny home system and wanting to invest in these as well. Your video was hugely enlightening and helpful. Much appreciate the effort in putting something this detailed together. Will remain a fan and look forward to more videos.
We have similar taste I love all of these homes. Looking forward to seeing what next year brings in manufactured homes. Thanks for all you do. Happy Holidays ❤️ ❤️
Kerry this has been a great year. Thanks to you it’s much better I’d have never found any of these builders without you here you are amazing and greatly appreciated here so keep up your great works here and Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈 🎉❤
Thanks Darren! Same to you 🙌🏼
Love your videos. Very informative and interesting. Thank you 🙏
🎉❤. Thanks for These Great Innovative Choices and I Love All of Them !!!!! 2023 will be hard pressing to beat this Top 10. You’ve got your work cut out for you ! Know You Won’t Disapoint ! Keep the Unique Humor rolling as Everyone Loves your Talent If there’s one , my gosh. Somethings wrong in their day ! ❤ it !
love the commentary not just the content but the humour. i can't help but think that since tiny houses became a real "thing" that the prices have, for most companies, gone up and out of reach of those who originally were looking for a cheaper way to own their own home.
Very true! The whole reason for a tiny home is so I can AFFORD a home! At prices of $100,000+, I can't afford it.
Great recap video. Look forward to seeing what you discover in 2023. Happy New Year!
Thanks Mike!
Lots of fun we all hope your holidays are joyous!
Thanks! Same to you 🙌🏼
Merry Christmas! Thank you.
Same to you John!
Another enjoyable tour of prefab homes!
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching
Just found you and I’m super stoked! Thank you for sharing all of these great companies
You are so welcome!
Love this! A great overview and wonderful ideas!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kerry, you crack me up. Big fan here - keep up the good and entertaining work. Happy New Year!
Glad to hear it! Same to you 🙌🏼
Thanks for making these videos!
Thanks for watching them 🙌🏼
As I restart my search for an affordable home I knew just where to come. Thanks for the work you do and you really make me chuckle.
You’re welcome, thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Thank you Kerry.
Merry Xmas Kerry! Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for watching MJ
Love your channel Kerry. Like button has been tapped!
Thank you 🙌🏼
Great stuff. I'd like if you could do an ep on the Australian companies and their offerings- Modscape, Prebuilt, Ecolive, MAAP, Mode Homes, Arkit, Archiblox. Making note of which companies can ship internationally and prices.
PreFabulous!
Happy Holidays!
Same to you 🙌🏼
"The oldest young dude i have ever seen"....That was a perfect comment and my favorite one too....made me smile....thank you--- i needed that today. Love the whole vid too, as always. Thank you so much for this review...it's priceless to have all these covered in one vid and they ARE some of the very best that i had forgotten about or missed. Really appreciate the time that went into this. and the humor...
Glad you enjoyed it Marian!
Excellent round up buckaroo! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Definitely enjoyed the videos this year. A lot of interesting options. I would really appreciate a video or two on financing options for prefab homes as well as what kind of site prep is needed to actually field one of these and get it ready to live in.
WORD!
Jack - we are nearing the end (FINALLY) of placing a cross-mod home on .6 acres in the Sierra. Cross-mods are modular materials, options, and quality with manufactured restrictions such as size, shape, and process. We purchased during COVID and have had extensive delays due to lack of materials, labor, weather, and permitting delays. Our unit had NONE of these modern looking options available. In fact, no one did for the size we needed (1,500+sq. ft.). Clayton Homes used to have the i-House which we loved, but when we asked our rep, we were told it's no longer available. Our site cost around $70K for the land. Prep of that land to date (grading, compacting, surveying, permits, extra dirt/rock, stub ins for utilities, perimeter foundation, steel, concrete, and blocks for foundation) have come in around $53K. We have another $25-$30K to go for septic, water connection, and electrical. Our unit, with customization, tax, and fees, came in around $177K. The same unit post-COVID is now base priced at over $230K. We signed our contract at just the right time. The real budget killer is in the ground works. It's hard to get solid estimates, many items are not included and end up being added on because they have to be, and labor is an issue. Our lot already had water, electric, and Internet available as well. If you have truly raw land without anything, costs will likely be even more. Of course, ours was challenging being at 7,000 ft. elevation, in a National Scenic Area, and in an extremely remote area with almost zero labor.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and yours!
Same to you Jenn!
Great ideas for perspective tiny home buyers 👍🏼 Thanks for the roundup.
Thanks for tuning in
Excellent recap! Love Tini!
Thanks! Me too
I love you shared the people's comments trying to make fun of you, great video! Stay Strong King!
thank you!
Thank you!
This is my first time watching your videos. I was pleasantly surprised. Great short segments covering a lot of territory. Thank you.
Thanks Michelle, glad to hear you enjoyed it
Really awesome video. Thank you... oh, and both your hair and your jokes are solid.
Haha thanks 🙌🏼
BRILLIANT!
MERRY CHRISTMAS KERRY! ALL THE BEST TO YOU IN 2024!
🎄🥂🎄🤶🕊🎄🎅🙏🎄🌹
I really like the simple clean style of these buildings and would love to find the ideal place to put one
Great video and information, per usual 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just found this channel! I know.. I've been living under a rock! I love the idea of a prefab homes. I went poking around you tube. I found myself laughing out loud at your quirky descriptions. You made my day!
Glad to hear! Welcome 🙌🏼
Great video! Thanks for the Intel. And for cracking me up during your transitions😂
Haha! Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
I remember really liking the layout of the Helsinki you featured a few weeks back.
What a revelation! This is fantastic. Thanks for doing all this research. I’m going to need to watch the video again because there were a lot of good options.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching🙌🏼
Hi Kerry, are you available to consult on best choices for modular homes? I have a 3 acre waterfront parcel on the central Oregon coast, and I have determined the best return on my money right now is building that out versus trying to buy anything else. Would love to get your input on the best home for this site, which is waterfront, steeply sloped and in an old growth forest with a stunning view. Feel free to DM me if this is something that you do. Thanks!
You have a good eye. Happy New Year 🎊🎆🎈
Thanks for watching
GREAT WORK....just subscribed to the channel, thanks for all the research.
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
New to this research- love your video reviews!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great info, thanks Kerry! Love your self effacing sense of humour...#charming
Thank you!
Merry Christmas 🎄⛄!!!
Same to you Good Stuff!
GREAT WORK KERRY.... MOST APPRECIATED!
My wife and i just retired... and we're looking for a prefab/modular home that we can afford and not go broke!
You're doing ONE HECK of a lot of research for your channel AND THAT REALLY REALLY HELPS US!!! : )
Keep up the awesome work!
Amen
Retired, Veteran
Most of these are anything but affordable. They are 2-5x as much as your basic trailer.
Your videos are very informative! Subscribed! 🤩
Glad you like them!
As always... great video!
Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas 🎄.
And here's to a great new year 🎉
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
Thanks Laurie, same to you 🙌🏼
Two best words in the whole video, "microwaving nachos"! You solved my dilemma of what to make for supper. Thank you. Love your videos. I don't see the resemblance to Alice in the Brady Bunch.
Haha glad I could help
We are in the market for a prefab to put on our city lot for a rental. I was really excited about the 10 homes you highlighted and immediately pulled up the websites for each. The prices you were quoting have almost doubled. For example, the Holo by Drop Structure is now $130KCAD/$97,500USD. With the ancillary costs necessary to set up the home (permits, foundation, crew...) the $53K was sounding perfect! Really a bummer to see the increase. Just thought you and interested buyers might want to know.
The inflation is totally out of control. Thanks for the heads up, I plan on building a modular home this year. At this point I might be better to rent for a while and see if the market goes back down. Crazy times.
@@AshCupric Every segment of society has been hit with this greed driven inflation. Yes, you heard it right. Inflation, especially this time, is completely artificial.
@@dan_hitchman007 I totally agree with you, Dan. It’s out of control!
USA / Canada = greediness and toxicity. Get out!
The market will never go down. At least not by much. It is disgusting and scary
I really like the small prefab home concept. The problem--most cost way too much per sqft. They might be seen as a bargain for people living in LA, Toronto, etc,. For most people, outside the expensive urban areas, they can have larger traditional homes built for less. I hope to build my own, borrowing some of the best design aspects I see in these and other vids/websites. I already have 2 homes, but want to down size and build something the way I want, with lots of outdoor living spaces. Traditional manufactured homes/trailers are a much better value than most of these newer Prefabs.
Well called.
Facts, these are massively overpriced gimmicks for the most part. Yes, they look sleek and modern but the price point is pitiful for what you are getting. Some of those say they start at 190k, 250k, etc. Can buy a new mobile home for 30-50k.
That was my immediate reaction, as well. Yes, they’re all neat looking and have interesting, efficient floor plans and all, but the prices? Yikes. Also, I’ve seen some reports on Boxabl…quite recently...that cast very serious doubt on their being a trustworthy operation.
The concept of prefab homes used to be that they were cheaper per sq ft to build because they were built in a factory, controlled environment, low cost/high volume. Of course, everything is backwards now.
yes a doublewide can be just as nice for much less. looking at barndominiums. otherwise cheaper to just site build a tiny home
Thank you Kerry. I agree with the comment below about cost. All you featured are beautiful, but (and maybe you have already done this in a past video) a review of less pricy options (yes there is Boxabl) would be appreciated!
great work! One of the best CZcams channels out there!
Wow thank you! Appreciate that 🙌🏼
agree
I like his chill disposition when explaining the video, it is sincere but funny. 😄
Thank you!
You're hilarious! I loved a couple of them but the Axelhouse Summer House was my favourite. I would love some land and by one. BTW. I fulfilled your dream and tapped the Like button and even subscribed.
By far the best video after googling way too much of this today, txs 🙂
Thanks Dave!
Wonderful and exciting...
Thanks for watching!
Great job 👍 man, keep continue
Thank you 🙌🏼
@@KerryTarnow I
I literally love these homes
Love your videos, Kerry! This is an inspiration! Have you done a video on the availability of financing for modular homes? If not, you should! That's really the key for a lot of people.
Not yet! Great idea. Glad you’re enjoying the videos
You always knock it out of the park! I liked #2 better than #1 and was surprised Zennihome didn't make the list, but we all have different tastes. Keep'em coming. It's wonderful to let myself fantasize about someday eventually buying and living in one of these.
They were on there but I decided not to do any that were still prototypes... Thanks for watching!
@@KerryTarnow thank you!! that was a great decision that I really appreciate!
@@KerryTarnow Hi Terry, I love the Boxvana Abaco and am considering purchasing but the company is in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Any suggestions? Should I peruse with Boxvana or do you know of another modular company who constructs something similar? Barbara
Same here, liked the #2 more than #1.
OMG loved them all
Glad to hear it!
Love your hair!! thanks for your top 10!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 🙌🏼
@@KerryTarnow and I know I would not have the gumption to have a CZcams channel. Folks can just be brutal, yes?
You offer us great content and I enjoy the occasional humor. Happy 2023!
Great Top 10 list. Boxable still wins but the others are gaining and don’t have the wait time.💜🐬🎄🎶
Love what you do. Please keep it up. Been looking for companies dealing in larger floor plans and more traditional looks and it has been hard to find. Hoping to find some inspo in your log of videos. :)
Glad you’re enjoying the videos 🙌🏼. Thanks for watching
📌What was the price for the last home you featured?
Ok, I’m new to your channel and I have to say I LOVE how you showed the comments that roasted you and got a laugh out of it. It made me LOL 😂
Instant video like! (And I may also subscribe 😉)
Thank you!
Now I’ll never be able to unsee Alice from The Brady Bunch.
Hahaha sorry about it
I did not see your number 10 house before. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. Also, thank you for letting us know when a subcontractor has to install the house. This is a deal breaker for me. If you build it, you should install it. I am not paying a separate company to install it. Happy Holidays. Keep the videos coming. You are the King of of your trade.
Thank you! Appreciate you tuning in. Happy holidays 🙌🏼
10# & 3# are my picks :) Always been a fan of 10# and the loft on #3 seals the deal for that home plus the foundation. I've also looked at the Supermod home which is priced to sell.
Yeah, I think I liked number 3 a lot though hard to tell without actually looking at them. Number 3 had the sundeck, loft and foundation. It is also important for me to have independent solar panels. I could have those built in or get a Tesla prefab that comes with solar. If you have any ideas or have made a choice and have a few moments, let me know your ideas on this and what you have chosen.
like your hair and you made me lough 3 times. also house number one my favorite
great finds
Thanks!
First, you did over a hundred videos this year!?!?!? Wow!!! WTG
Next: UHM.... pissed!! Yup 👍
Marble competitions, lofty meditation, Twister game room 😂😂😂
Finally: I was pleasantly surprised by your favorite. I thought you were going to pick another one. My top 10 would be very similar. I'm thankful I didn't have to pick!
Keep up the fantastic fan based comments!! I absolutely loved this video!!!! 🎉
Oh! And merry Christmas! I've been busy and watched this one late.
Thanks for watching! Thought you might like this one haha 🙃
Wow! Each has a shared but subtly different aesthetic. Thank you 🙏🏼 Kerry. Inspiration rich episode BTW, which would you select for wheelchair accessibility?
I am making your dreams come true...tapping the like button. I love your prefab videos.
Appreciate it 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hi Kerry, I am amazed at these homes. We are moving to Maine and are in the process of looking for a lot to build but this is a game changer. It seems a lot of manufacturers are in Europe. Is there a list of North American manufacturers available?
Great videos and content. Would love to see big family prefab homes.
Noted!
Now THAT'S a list!
Thank you! Glad you like it
Great Choices!
Thanks!
Superb video! Hair like a Viking….
Thank you 🙌🏼
Just found your channel, I’ve been casually intrigued by module for a couple decades.. now a father of four I’d love to learn about some of the more higher end module options to maximize sq footage.
Great! Thanks for watching
Kerry I like it if you could look into Next Gen Geothermal systems for off the grid living. That space has really been heating in 2022!
There are so many Geothermal Startups now, sense the Oil and Drillers have gotten into the industry. 🤔
I am uniquely intrigued! 🧐
Kerry: Thanks for the laughs, I enjoy how you take in stride when people (try to) make fun of your hair. They are just jealous, I know I am. Thank you for your channel. I really enjoy your delivery and expertise in the field. I have learned a lot. I was hoping for a best of and viola here it is. I think it would be cool if you developed your web page to extend your information with what the CZcams platform can't offer. For example, menus that categorize prefabs based upon region, price, size, availability, etc. as well as your top choices year by year. Keep it going strong in 2023.
Thats a great idea Tim, thanks for watching 🙌🏼
You are hilarious. I love your sense of humour.
Haha thank you 🙏🏻
❤ 40+ year resident of a 1958 vintage National prefab. After 64 years, it’s just as sound as day 1.
Thats great!
I built a modular home in the mid 80s, 4 piece 2800 sq ft center hall 2 story colonial. Best $ ever spent. On my land, my foundation, my well/septic. we spent $70k on just the house. All in we were ~$130k. There were not many finishes offered, no tile back then, so we upgraded as we got the $. Now we r retired n considering a move, I would do it again in a heartbeat. The industry has come a long way.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Wow Bonnie any pics? 😍
Hi Kerry love your content. One suggestion I would make is when discussing prefab homes to mention whether it's modular or manufactured that's a big line in the sand for most people
Isn’t modular also manufactured?🤔
@@sonjapollon568 no -- modular means different parts are built and put together on site. Manufactured means the whole house is built off site. Manufactured homes are lower quality
Your video made my wife and I both happy at the very same time!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching
Hey Kerry marry Christmas
Right back at ya!
My new favorite CZcams obsession. ❤❤❤
Finally a few choices that aren’t overpriced.
Thanks SJ
@@KerryTarnow no thank you for all the work you put into this channel and letting us know about the choices we have out there. We really appreciate your work sir.
prefab has many plus sides. agree, just the beginning for this industry. huge future
Absolutely
Kerry
Love your vids informative to the point
When you use the term prefab Do you mean manufactured, modular or some kind of hybrid?
Also would be great to start all your vids as to what part of the world the product is available
Thanks
Keep up the great work
Mark
Those roast comments cracked me up man. Glad to see you be such a good sport about them. I had a great laugh from the beginning of the video.
Haha glad to hear! Thanks for watching
2:48 given that you use your bedroom the same way I use mine, I hit the thumbs up button.
Thank you!
I love it.
Thanks
Thank you.
Thanks for watching
The fans would like to know/see the home that Kerry lives in. Give it up Kerry!
I love that first house
Me too!
Nice to see a Vancouver Island company on your list.
