AI summary
Tiny homes offer an affordable housing solution, with prices from $30,000 to over $200,000, though supply costs have added $30k-$40k. Smart design is crucial, with popular trends including two-storey layouts with walkways and single-level homes with high-pitched roofs.
Financing is typically a vehicle or personal loan as most homes are on wheels to avoid building consent. They are increasingly used for multi-generational living. Experts recommend thorough research on builders and trying a tiny home before buying.
