Toyota manufactures houses in Japan [1]. If they sold them in the US, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. [1] [VIDEO]

It might come down to culture/demand? In Japan where it's preferred to make a new home rather than buy a pre-owned one (outside the big city), pre-fab seems to have taken off rather more (13% of new builds in 2013). For example, a house built in a day (customisable, moderately expensive but very high quality): [VIDEO]

There's a good chance of not seeing one being built since it might only take 6 hours -- see [1]. [1] [VIDEO]
