When I lived in Tampa in the early 10s they were still recovering from the housing crash.
4 bedroom house for me and some idiots was $900 a month.

Lennar has these weird angular houses all over Austin. I haven't seen these tiny ones but the regular 3/2 ones are everywhere.the poor soul who buys 7727

They look like shit compared to the more normal brick rancher style houses Austin/Texas in general has everywhere.

While I am not opposed in theory to the idea of tiny little houses for people to enter home ownership, those prices are just wtf. I could see something like $50k over a 5-year loan or similar, but this?

That house is nice. Would be 850k in my town atleast.a home 2minutes away is 200k
sure it's 40yrs old, but i'd rather live in a decent looking real home
and they had a $100 price reduction!

For that price, it's most likely in a shit (high crime) area of town. I have never seen a house that size and that cheap, in Texas, that wasn't in the hood. The new fence on the left makes me think it may be in early stages of gentrification though.
Also, those tiny houses are nothing "new," per se, as various builders have always had experiments with cheap housing builds around town. The houses just keep getting smaller though. In the 00's it was 1000 SQFT homes for $149,000. They were also in the "hood" because they probably bought the whole block for 1$ from the city, to demolished it to build new. Wish I could remember the various blocks, to see how run down they are, now days.

Saw an ATT installer truck on the block behind where I am having my new house built. Checked the website and hit the lotto. 5 gig fiber is available at my address. Rural indeed.

I bask in 2G here )with a 5 static IP package.. of course. I hear 5g is hitting later this year.... Getting fiber though is a huge longshot in rural Texas right now, so when I escape the city it will probably be to slum it like a beggar on Starlink.

I don't see any value in the 5 gig, so doubt I will go above the 2gig unless they price it close.
