    Town close to me has 800sq foot sheds for $237k

    It’s a tiny home on 1/5 an acre.

    Insanity

    I’m in middle Tennessee.

      That would seem nuts except middle Tennessee is Nashville area? And it seems like the corporate overlords aren’t buying things up there. That would be 700-800k where I live, and I’d buy it if the interest rates were lower.

      Someone will probably buy it to make it an Airbnb “getaway cabin” at way too much $ per night.

    I haven’t seen anyone say this, so in case anyone doesn’t know. If the land is worth 200K and has no dwelling, it’s much harder to finance that. You either need a builder/developer loan with plans to build within a specific timeframe. Or, you need some other means to finance.

    A bank won’t give you a mortgage for land. Land, while having an intrinsic value is worthless to a bank. But land with a shed in which you can poop is worth something. No idea why, but that’s at least one perspective.

      Most often the case, depending on location/us state whatever system installed for pooping in that shed is a health code liability and therefore a financial burden.
