Has Doug Newby actually said that he will never sell a prefab house? I know Diane Cheatham has expressed an interest (to me) in bringing a prefab house into Urban Reserve, and if she did, I'd be surprised if Doug Newby would not be willing to sell it. Of course, it might look out of place against houses such as the Max Levy house currently being offered for $700/SF.

On any case, Tom is serving a part of the market that has been completely ignored thus far. I really hope he is successful and builds a bunch of houses in this segment of the market (I wish he had built out house). And as someone who shot for $100/SF but ended up at $130, let me tell you I am sure Tom (or any builder) could find ways to get the price of this house over $150/SF (and I bet he would really like having that budget as well).

At the same time, I think the ClearSpace houses are the most appealing of all the prefabs I have seen and I hope they sell a bunch of them too. Making apples to apples comparisons in this type of situation is absolutely impossible.

Now, are we done here?
