This is as it should be. Buckminster Fuller stated in 1928, and proved in 1947, that a house should cost no more than a car.
Further to this (posted 11hrs ago on Inhabitat):

How high-tech Kasita microhomes could revolutionize homeownership | Inhabitat - Green Design, Innovation, Architecture, Green Building

A $139K 320sq ft house. It was designed by the Professor that spent a year living in a dumpster. He is attempting to implement the 'housing as a service' industry Buckminster Fuller advocated for in the 1920-50s.

Produced in volume the price would drop to $40,000 just like Tesla. ...with a Power Wall and Solar roof.
