This Modern PREFAB HOME Can Be Ordered Online and Delivered Nation Wide

welcome back my name is carrie and today i'm going to show you a new off-grid prefab home with a futuristic look that you can order online the amount of different prefab homes currently available is actually a bit shocking and i've been noticing an influx of cool options for a variety of different buyers whether it's affordability tech or speed there are homes being built for a wide range of reasons each with a different look price and size today i'm going to show you a new ish company that definitely has the style figured out that are causing a bit of fuss in the industry the company i'm talking about is called house me with their lineup of modern prefab smart homes that can be placed almost anywhere what i'm going to do is tell you a little bit about the company show you their models and finally we'll look at the prices so let's do it house me is on a mission to redefine the way people think of buying a new home and make home ownership a breeze they say passionate about details we create self-contained living space and make freedom delivered to every customer according to dwell the company started tinkering with the idea of readily available off-grid movable homes that could withstand extreme climates all the way back in 2016 and was flooded with over 10 000 requests from around the world before they were even ready to launch a product after years of researching and prototyping they started accepting orders and making sales near the end of 2019 for delivery in early 2020 which likely ended up being unbelievable timing because that's right before the housing market went completely nuts compared to other similar dwelling units houseme says they're different because theirs are the first fully self-sustainable mobile house it doesn't require an electric grid propane natural gas firewood or any other fuel it uses solar energy for heating cooling and electricity and the best part is it works in both hot and cold climates a house meat can be used as a primary residence a vacation home a guest house studio or income producing second dwelling right now their website is showing that homes ordered today are estimated to be delivered in august which is about three months from the time i'm recording this video so relatively fast turnaround time compared to some of the others in the space cool thing about their website is you can actually configure and order directly online choosing from different exterior colors appliances decor and every house may come standard with zombie protect definitely want that basically that means that models come standard with state-of-the-art security features like composite walls six-layer tempered windows double pane doors with advanced locking mechanisms and fingerprint and face recognition a question i get fairly often on my channel is can the homes hold up to earthquakes and hurricanes and they actually have an upgrade available to make the polymer composite frames stronger for areas that that could be an issue to get a house me you go online select your model and configure it with whatever decors and upgrades you want and pay the refundable deposit of 2500 once that's done the sales team will contact you for permitting manufacturing and permit details then they'll build your home when the home is complete they'll contact you for delivery details and finally it'll be delivered and installed on your property i think they've got a really cool looking lineup and it seems fairly easy to order so let's check out the models the smallest home in the lineup is the 120 square foot micro house which they say is the most advanced micro home in the world i think these homes look so cool it's modern almost to the point of futuristic with a panoramic glass roof high-tech composite body and smart led exterior lights one thing that made me laugh in the specs of this home is it has a max speed that it can be towed 180 miles per hour if i'm towing a home at 180 miles per hour something's gone terribly wrong i guess it is good to know i could go up to that fast if need be since i do like to live my life a quarter mile at a time it measures 19 feet long by seven feet two inches wide with a bedroom that doubles as a living room kitchenette and bathroom with a full-size toilet and shower the micro house is a studio and you first enter into the kitchenette which has a mini fridge microwave sink and storage space beyond the kitchenette is a living room bedroom that has an optional folding bed and workstation tv and those windows that give it a look unlike anything else in the space pass the living spaces or wardrobe to store clothing and anything else you want out of the way and finally it's into the bathroom the bathroom is 10.7 square feet with a toilet sink and shower they'll deliver all across the united states and the home can be hooked up within 60 minutes of arrival pretty good the micro house has two models available the light or the pro the pro model is equipped with water and power backup long lasting exterior surfaces and high-end finishes the light model has more essential interior and exterior surfaces as well as simplified engineering system if 120 square feet doesn't quite give you enough room to stretch out they do have bigger options the m1 is a 400 square foot off-grid studio fully self-sustainable and autonomous smart house it has a layout that's been quite popular among homes this size you enter into the living room at the end of the home then it's open to the living space that doubles as a bedroom and the kitchen backs onto the wall that is shared with the bathroom the living room includes a wardrobe motorized storage cabinet sofa bed table with chairs built-in lights with motion sensors and natural hardwood flooring is it just mirrors wardrobe one of those words that the more you say the weirder it sounds wardrobe the kitchen includes premium smart kitchen furniture a premium facade finish built-in motion sensors and lighting motorized cabinets then of course you get all the normal stuff like fridge microwave coffee machine contactless faucets and a dishwasher one thing included in the kitchen that i know absolutely nothing about is a steam oven turns out it's exactly what it sounds like cooking the food with steam but i'm curious if any of the chefs out there know what it actually turns out like like what's it gonna do to my frozen pizza the bathroom has a shower sink toilet and space for a washer dryer so this home has everything you need what i like best about the m1 is how much storage it has for a small space they've built in cabinets all around the bed so even though the home isn't huge there is a lot of space to put your things if you're looking for more space for more things they do have one bigger the biggest model in the house me lineup is the 2 bedroom m2 the m2 is an 800 square foot home that comes with everything included in the m1 but with more space and the choice of four different floor plans the first floor plan is basically an m1 with a second full bedroom unit attached this would be perfect for someone who doesn't want to convert the living room to a bedroom and back every night and would instead prefer having two well-defined separate spaces the second plan is two mirrored m-ones back-to-back in a duplex style setup this might appeal to someone looking to house hack rent both sides or split the cost with a family member the third option is a two bedroom design with the bedroom unit being added to the studio unit similar to the first layout but better in my opinion because it feels like less wasted space finally they have a one bedroom option that opens up more defined spaces with the addition of a dining room out of all the m2 options available i like the duplex and the two-bedroom before i wrap this thing up you know i'm gonna check out the pricing so let's get into it the micro house starts at sixty thousand dollars for the light and eighty thousand dollars for the pro the m1 starts at 219 999 dollars and the m2 starts at 417 999 dollars i am 100 sure there's gonna be a few ruffled feathers in the comments but keep in mind house me is in the luxury segment of this market and isn't necessarily trying to compete with some of the more affordable options how's mu is a seattle-based company building high-end modern prefab homes they have some very cool designs that i think will appeal to a lot of people in the luxury market who are looking for something unique out of the three models they currently have available the one i'm most excited about is the micro house even though i can't tow it faster than 180 miles per hour i'm a fan of the designs that house me has come up with so i'm going to follow along with what they're up to and will post any updates right here on my youtube channel that's all i've got for today if you like manufactured home videos make sure to subscribe to my channel because i've got new ones coming out every single week thanks for watching see in the next one you
