You would be surprised. There are a lot of fixed costs for building tiny homes, you have all of the appliances that need to be installed, trailer bed, plus framing, siding and roofing trades that need to happen.

Plus there is sitework, sewer, electrical water, and development fees.

Hopefully they got economies of scale to work here but they still can be a bit pricey.
