If they only had levitating homes, that would solve the housing crisis!

I looked very briefly at some in Sausalito, and they seemed relatively affordable (I found one for around 250K last year). I didn't get super far into the process, so didn't really investigate lifetime costs (docking fees? Maintenance? HOA? Utilities? Other?)...but they seemed, on the surface, cheaper to live than surrounding communities.

Too bad Sausalito is a bit inconvenient for me and my life, otherwise I would have considered it more seriously.

....otherwise known as (wait for it!.......dramatic pause)........"boats".

but, seriously, on the linked page it says: "If you would like additional information regarding any of these and floating homes in Marin County, please contact the Marin Modern Real Estate Team".

As for slip fees, they differ by location, size, amenities, etc... There won't be just one price.

Years ago I looked at one briefly. I do remember that there were not conventional mortgages if you wanted to finance. Either much shorter duration of 7-10 tears, higher rates or both. I don't remember specifics though.

That looks like a floating jail cell. And 175K for the privilege!
