“With median home costs now exceeding $250,000 in many places around Puget Sound, it’s hard to believe that a house — and a brand new one at that — can be had for $100,000 or less. Is there a catch?
Of course there is: Land cost is not included, and the house may not exactly be a house. Rather it could be a log cabin or even a fabric-covered yurt (but one big enough to include a loft).
These are among the affordable-home possibilities on display at the Seattle Home Show. Each home is a full-size structure on the show’s Idea Street. Show promoters say it’s the only one of its kind at any Home Show in the nation.”
