Boxabl's Surge: Nearly $10 Billion in Reservations and Counting
Written on
Chapter 1: Boxabl's Rapid Growth
Boxabl is experiencing an impressive surge in its reservations, recently announcing that the total has approached $10 billion since the launch of its Equity Crowdfunding rounds. This remarkable growth marks a significant milestone for the company.
Boxabl’s rapid expansion is indicative of its momentum in the market, which shows no signs of slowing down.
The company reported that it now holds 150,000 casita reservations, with each unit priced at $60,000. The overwhelming demand has prompted Boxabl to raise prices, ensuring that the most interested customers can secure their units.
Section 1.1: Analyzing Boxabl's Pricing Strategy
Given Boxabl’s current production capacity of 4 to 8 units daily, it could take over 50 years to fulfill the entire waitlist. As demand continues to rise, the decision to increase prices seems reasonable. Basic economic principles suggest that when demand is high and supply is limited, price adjustments are necessary to balance the market. Interestingly, even with higher prices, the demand for Boxabl units remains robust.
This scenario provides a fascinating insight into the price elasticity of Boxabl units within the current housing market. As housing costs soar and supply chain challenges continue, numerous companies are willing to absorb the increased prices for the efficiency and promptness that Boxabl offers. A typical Casita measures around 375 square feet, translating to about $160 per square foot.

Section 1.2: The Investment Landscape
As Boxabl approaches the conclusion of its equity crowdfunding rounds, discussions surrounding its valuation have arisen. While some critiques suggest the valuation is high, the growing momentum indicates that it may be justified. With reservations exceeding $9 billion, Boxabl has established a substantial customer base and is on track to enhance efficiency and profitability. The current reservation list, nearly double the number at the start of their campaign, highlights that the initial premium may have been warranted.
Chapter 2: Boxabl vs. Traditional Housing Options
When comparing Boxabl to conventional housing solutions, it becomes clear that Boxabl offers lower shipping costs, quicker delivery times, and an easier setup process. Averaging around $200 per square foot, Boxabl remains competitively priced compared to the current median price of $222 per square foot in the U.S., with some markets reaching up to $329.
The alternative of constructing a new home often involves lengthy timelines and inconsistent supply deliveries. While building costs can vary widely—starting at around $100 per square foot in more affordable regions—semi-luxury homes often cost between $175 and $200 or more per square foot. This means that, for many, Boxabl represents a more convenient and timely solution.
