Amazon has its sights on the massive U.S. real estate market with plans to sell a 773 sq. ft. pre-built 3-bedroom, two bath home for $105K, furniture included. Homes buyers will receive two modules, weighing 44,000 pounds that can be assembled by two “skilled” independent contractors.
However, buyers must adhere to local building codes while navigating the often-complicated permit process as Marianne Coutato, partner at Cypress Community Development Corporation cautioned; “… homeowners risk purchasing units that do not meet local codes”.
