Remarkableriots Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/amazon-is-selling-houses-for-less-than-20-000-with-free-shipping/ar-AABKs0Z?ocid=AMZN Quote Housing companies have found a new home: Amazon. Prefabricated and modular housing — homes that are built in factories — is having its moment. From 2013 to 2018, industry revenue grew by an annualized 8.6% to nearly $10.5 billion, including growth of 4.1% in 2018 alone, according to research firm IBISWorld. These homes have even hit Amazon and apparently are selling out. Indeed, multiple news outlets like real estate sites Curbed and The Real Deal reported that this 172-sq-ft $7,250 prefab cabin, which the manufacturer claims can be built in eight hours, on Amazon sold out. The house comes with free shipping. Then many again reported that the home was back in stock. It’s not the only home for sale on the internet giant, and some can even become residences. “I’m not surprised" to see homes for sale on Amazon, said Trae Bodge, a shopping expert at TrueTrae.com, as “selling these homes online presents a new level of opportunity for the retailer to reach consumers who are outside of their local area.” Here are a few homes for sale on Amazon ranging in price from a few thousands dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. The 292-sq-ft Lillevilla Allwood Getaway Cabin, about $19,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Perfect for a little vacation spot you can visit on the weekends or whatever. Or for those tiny house people if you're single/childless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Sears sold houses too. This isn't really new or different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema- Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Houses have kitchens and bathrooms (i.e. plumbing). The materials for this cabin don't seem like they're worth 20 grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
