In Chapter 2, I commented on the fact that ADUs, auxiliary dwelling units, don’t do well in sales. This is 100% true. I sold modular and manufactured homes for 35 years and pretty much every year I would get middle-aged couples coming in and asking about them. Most of our manufacturers had designs for them, but in all that time, I never sold one, and I sold millions of dollars of homes otherwise. The reasons are the same as I mentioned. The designs are brilliant, but the average zoning or building code simply won’t allow multiple residences on the same property. Likewise, whenever I would ask the buyers interested in a granny pod if they had discussed it yet with the grandparent involved, they would often say that they were just checking out options. When I called them back, if they answered at all, I would get a sheepish response that Granny wasn’t interested and had told them to mind their own business.
