On social media, the description of a 764-square-foot, single-story home being built in Risinger Court, Fort Worth, shared by journalist Lance Lambert caused something of a frenzy. The home, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom property by builder Lennar which is part of a new single-family homes community, is selling for a starting price of $197,999.
X user Don Johnson described the home, whose listing was shared by Lambert, as "basically a 200k detached apartment with no garage." He added: "Why not just live in an RV at that point? No property taxes."
"I'd rather get a shed from Home Depot," wrote another user on the social media platform. Another argued that "this has to be a troll post," sparking Lambert's response confirming the listing is real.
"That's a real home being built by Lennar—one of the largest homebuilders in the country," he wrote. "I'm neither promoting it, nor throwing shade. Just simply reporting a trend: Strained affordability has some builders going smaller."
