    actually-I tried to buy one in Colorado a few years ago and it was only $180k. No conventional loan would take it-and it came with 5 acres and a garage out building.

    That really depends on what you get. Most of the ones listed are in Taos at the Earthship Biotecture subdivision. And they have been around for a LONG time. So paying on the cheap for these older models is not unheard of because they don't have many of the modern features that the more recent ones do. Now, if you price out building one of these things, you are looking at 300-500k for just standard 2-3 bedrooms. Plus you have to have at least a couple of acres properly situated to build it. They didn't really show the newer ones that are built out there. The thing you have to decide is, Are you willing to pay extra for the self sufficiency.

    Not only how many but how inexpensive they seem. I don't know the market but the ones in New Mexico seem cheap compared to what I would expect. Edit: I just looked it up. Vallecitos was listed for $825,000, reduced from $912,000. I'd say that's a slight difference from the video price of $88,000. Either the channel doesn't care about facts or is blatantly ignoring them.

    Ask your city planner. Cities and those who profit from the grid do not like these homes/buildings because it means humans are more self sufficient. There's no money in that! Just imagine having no utility bills ever again! And never losing power just because of a storm or the grid going down. I've worked on these homes. They use far less water than other homes because they recycle the water so much. You can grow bananas and fig trees in your in-home greenhouse, right next to your kitchen. They are incredible!

  • @jazzyg530

    They have water catchment on the roof and recycle the water several times, meaning you have grey water in your toilets. But the water in sinks, shower and washing machine are fresh and filtered water. The garden cells in the greenhouse are used to filter water from sinks and then it goes out to a leach field in the front yard where you could grow fruit trees. The system is pretty amazing. Yes, the homes require some maintenance but they don't require heating or cooling from a power company or water from a well or city infrastructure. They have been very well thought out. They just continue to improve.
