Tips for buying a tiny home and how they’re evolving
We talk to those living the dream and find out the latest tiny home design trends.
AI summary
Tiny homes offer an affordable housing solution, with prices from $30,000 to over $200,000, though recent supply issues have added $30k-$40k to costs.
Key design trends include two-storey models with innovative walkways and single-level homes with high-pitched roofs. They are popular for multi-generational living and are typically financed via vehicle or personal loans. As most are on wheels to avoid building consent, it's crucial to research your builder and consider renting one first.
