I have come to the conclusion that ... unless your willing to design your own yurt. Getting one a 30' yurt is gonna cost around 10K bucks for the yurt alone. And that doesn't include, shipping, material for the base or building it. All and all, you'd be much better off and much cheaper to just buy the lumber and frame a traditional house.
If you have the extra cash yurts are nice. Tho a few gotcha's ... to worry about ...
If your on catchment ... the vinyl gutters on a round yurt are a joke. Insulation is expensive vs. a 'cool' tech paint metal roof. Metal roofs will outlast a yurt to the tune of twice as long.
So, if your idea was to save $$ by buying a yurt then your sadly miss-informed. If your idea was to have a 'different' structure to call your home, and you have the extra money ... Then go for it!
