US man buys foldable home from Amazon. Its price will leave you amazed

The way prices of real estate are skyrocketing these days, it has become more than just a big task for people to buy their dream house, especially for Gen Zs, as they usually don't have enough money to afford a big house. But if there is a challenge, there must be a solution, or at least a creative solution. The millennials have more creative options to own their homes. Though these are not conventional big homes, yes, they have all the basic amenities that make them liveable and comfortable.

Recently, a video caught the attention of many, in which a 23-year-old US man, shared a TikTok video of his new house, which he bought from Amazon.
'‘I just bought a house on Amazon. I didn't even think twice about it,'' Jeffrey Bryant captioned the video shared on TikTok. Since being shared, the video has gone viral.



As per the Metro website, 'technically, it’s a fold-out flatpack food shelter measuring in at 16.5ft by 20ft, although its online listing touts it as both a prefab ‘villa’ and an industrial warehouse solution.' The website further says that it's worth $26,000 (Rs 21,37,416) and that it comes with a built-in shower and toilet, a kitchenette, a living area, and a bedroom.

Over a period of time, these tiny homes have become quite popular among people. They provide a good option for owning a home amid skyrocketing housing prices.

‘Amazing and affordable,’ said a buyer named Cristian Soto, while another busyer called Nasser commented, ‘Love it! It’s affordable, and fits me and my dog! Highly recommended.'



While talking about the home, Jeffrey Bryant told the New York Post, 'I saw this YouTuber unboxing his Amazon home. And I ran to the website to get one, too.'

''The plan is to AirBnb it. That's a smart decision. The electrical, plumbing, and everything, I have all that set up. I just really want to get the permits in hand first to move and get everything situated,'' he said.

''As a person of colour and a Gen Z, I want to inspire others to make wise decisions with their money. People my age are told that we can't afford to purchase homes, but I'm proof that it is possible,'' he added.
