Today we're gonna be looking at five tiny manufactured homes on Amazon. And as
a bonus, we're gonna be taking a look at this one right here. So get your
Internet-ready 'cause it's time to do a little Prime shopping. Let's get
started. (soft electronic music) Before we jump online, did you know that tiny
houses started in the mid-'80s, but they didn't grow in popularity until the
millennium, and of course, then it became quite a craze? But most of the reason
that most people like tiny homes are because of the price. Just like this one
on Amazon. Okay, so this is going to be one of our tiniest tiny homes that we
look at. It's called the Allwood Escape Cabin and it's $5,350 of course with
free shipping. And it's only 113 square feet. Remember, these do not have
installation. And the weight of this the cabin is 2,300
pounds. Let's take a look on the inside which is adorable
'cause I love this natural wood look. They have some nice pictures of the
inside that are provided by other people that have gotten them off of Airbnb.
But it is a very, very tiny cabin. I can't imagine spending a long period
living in one of these. I know lots of people do it, but not as many as people
probably really think. Here's a full floor the plan that they give you of this
particular tiny home. So, the next tiny home we're looking at is probably the
most modern-looking of all of them that we're gonna be looking at today. This
one they're calling a Studio Garden House. So let's take a look at it. It's
$9,990 and of course, it has free shipping. The description of this particular
home says, it's an ideal home office, it's a contemporary urban styling. Large
windows allow the abundance of natural light, suitable for environments where
the classic cabin style does not fit. It has two ratings, so let's go ahead and
click on those. It said it was a great value. "I would change things up a
bit for bath and "small kitchen for guests and possibly stretch ceiling
"to eight feet." Oops, this one's a bad review. "I sold my 300K
house just to try out something new "and this wasn't worth it. "Now I
need to buy my own house." Why would you sell a $300,000 house to live in
a tiny house that doesn't have installation? That wasn't proper prior planning.
And it's 200 square feet. Who helped them to make the decision? Okay, anyway,
let's move one. (laughs) All right, here's an interesting question that
somebody asked, "Are they hurricane proof?" Meaning, are the kits
hurricane proof. I don't even know of a hurricane-proof house, but here's how they
answered it. "While these structures are resistant to wind speeds,
"technically they do not meet the latest coastal Florida "wind and
hurricane codes." So, that's something to know if you live on the Florida
coastline, that it does not meet the hurricane codes. The roof pitch is two
degrees and it supposedly is easy to assemble. And if you're anything like me
and if you've ever been to IKEA, nothing is easy to assemble. (laughs) Another
main reason why people decide on tiny homes is they want to downsize their
stuff. - That's all your house is, your house is just a place for your stuff.
If you didn't have so much goddamn stuff, you wouldn't need a house. (audience
laughing) you could just walk around all the time. That's all your house is a
pile of stuff with a cover on it. It seems that we all have a little bit too
much stuff. So maybe this tiny home on Amazon might work for you and less
stuff. Okay, the next one we're gonna be looking at is one that is under 40,000
but it doesn't have the free shipping. But it's still on Amazon. It's called
the Jackson Tiny Home. This house is a four-bedroom tiny home. So it's 275
square feet with a 119 square feet for the front porch. The weight of it is
6,693 pounds, and that makes the shipping cost for this $3,350 which is pretty
high. But of course, that keeps it under the $40,000, but if you're expecting
free shipping, not on this one. But I wanted to show it because it was super
cute. Let me show you the floor plan real quick. But it does have four full
rooms and I did like the fact that it had a little porch. That would be cute
for someone that's looking for that tiny home lifestyle. This is the loft, this
is where people sleep. Did you know that there are an estimated 10,000 tiny
homes throughout the United States? I thought that the number was going to be
higher. But year after year there are about 700 tiny homes that are built by
commercial builders. And there's another 700 that are built by private
residents that are trying to build them themselves. I thought it was an
interesting fact. If you're thinking about building one yourself you might be
interested in this one on Amazon. This is how much room it gives me. The next
tiny manufactured home we're gonna be looking at on Amazon is a little bit
pricier than the couple of the other ones that we've looked at. It's called the
Allwood Avalon Cabin Kit and it's 540 square feet. It does have four ratings,
which gives it four and a half stars. It doesn't have a floor plan here, it
does seem that you could live in this space a lot easier than you can in some
of these smaller tiny homes that we looked at. Here's a full blueprint of the
house, it does look nice and big. Each of the bedrooms looks like it has about
120 square feet. The living square footage in the living room area is about 215
square feet. The kitchen is about 45 square feet. The bathroom's 40 square
feet. And then the front porch they're giving you about 176 square feet. This
home does have a loft to it. They say you can put two beds in there, but I
don't know about you, I hope you don't wanna be around people that snore.
'Cause I certainly don't and I can't imagine sharing a room, a tiny room with
another two people. Unless it's my kids, I can handle that. When they snore,
they're cute. It's nice that they provide some extra pictures that are not just
cartoon pictures, drawing pictures. And it is adorable. I love the high
ceilings on this. This is something I could live in for a long period. I don't
know if I could live my whole life in one of those things, but definitely, this
feels much more like a home than a cramped space that you can only spend a few
hours in. I think I'm just too claustrophobic. But that bathroom's adorable.
Please note, 'cause I've read some of these questions, the shower, and the plumbing,
and the electrical doesn't come with this house. But it does come with free
shipping. Still, all these houses come with free shipping except for a couple.
So, that the Allwood Avalon Cabin Kit, 540 square feet. You know, I'm thinking
this particular tiny home would make a perfect YouTube studio for myself. I bet
you're wondering how much this particular one is. We're gonna find out in just
a little bit, 'cause we have two more tiny homes from Amazon to look at. Like
this one. All right, the next one we're gonna be looking at is the Allwood
Timberline. This house is 483 square feet and it's considered a cabin kit. It's
$34,900 but it does include free shipping. I know I keep telling you that, but
it is something to know. The inside floor area is 354 square feet, aloft is 129
square feet. It does have a snow load capacity which is something we don't have
to worry about here in Louisiana, but if you are worried about it, it says 40
pounds. The wind load capacity is up to 120 miles per hour, and you can add factory
protection against termites, which is something that we have a major problem
here in Louisiana. They say there're two types of homes in Louisiana, ones that
have termites and ones that are gonna get them. That's what downstairs would
look like and this is what the upstairs with a loft in it looks like you can
fit two regular twin beds. Here's a full blueprint. This is the part I found
interesting. "This model comes with steel storm rods for "all four
corners. "The rods hold planks of each wall tightly together. "This
can also be anchored to the ground." So, that's good for people that are
thinking about keeping these intact. All of these tiny homes that we're looking
at today are not ones that can be rolled down the road. They are ones that
intended to stay in place. Ooh, one of the other main reasons why people decide
to live in a tiny home is because they're wanting to leave a smaller carbon
footprint. And they're wanting to live off the grid. So let's go take a look at
this particular house on Amazon and see if we can put some solar panels on the
roof. So I think this particular the tiny home will be perfect because of the
slope of the roof and it'll be perfect for solar panels. This house is listed,
not even listed... See, I'm talking like a real estate agent. This house is for
sale, not even for sale. This is how much it costs, $19,990 and it's 259 square
feet. It's called the Allwood Ranger Cabin Kit. And the main area is 259 square
feet. It's milled from slow grown Nordic spruce. The roof area is 451 square
feet and it says, oh look, it even says, ideal for solar panels. Just like I
thought. And it says that they're gonna need about 45 days. So I want you to
look at the amount of time that it takes them to ship it. So if we were to
order this today, according to Amazon, it would come in on January 13the
through the 29th. So, you probably have like two months so if you decided to do
this now it's gonna be a project for the future, don't expect it to show up at
your door the next day as most Amazon orders do. This one takes a little extra
time. This part cracks me up. They have this little rendering here, and I wanna
know where they found this weird looking family. Like the woman looks like
she's wearing a slip, the woman they drew on there. This is the weirdest
rendering I've ever seen. So this is an inside floor plan of the Allwood
Ranger, it's 259 square feet on one side, the loft is 168 square feet. So that
gives enough space to put in a, maybe even, a double bed, if it's pretty tight.
This model does have that tongue and groove with the steel rods that give it
that extra security to hold onto the ground. These are all the things that it
comes within the assembly, I hope it comes with really awesome instructions.
And again it has these pictures that show you how you can go ahead and has the
hose plumbed? Okay, so that's the Allwood Ranger Cabin that's 255 square feet
on Amazon. It's also perfect for solar panels and you can have it delivered to
your house in about a couple of months for you to put together by yourself.
Remember, it doesn't come assembled. Okay, so that's all five tiny manufactured
homes that you can get from Amazon for less than $50,000. But now that you've
waited all this time you're probably wondering how much this one is. If you remember
a while back I did a video about the five myths about manufactured homes and we
met with Gary Millet. Well, he went ahead and let me show you this particular
tiny home and it is $39,900, that's with setup and air conditioning. So
sometimes Amazon doesn't have the best deals. My name is Kristina Smallhorn,
Your Real Estate Whisperer, and I tell you all this because you matter.
