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. Key design trends include two-storey layouts with walkways and single-level homes popular with the 45+ demographic.
They are increasingly used for multi-generational living on family properties. As tiny homes on wheels are often classed as vehicles, financing is typically a personal or vehicle loan. Researching your builder and trying a rental first are highly recommended before purchasing your own.
