AI summary
Tiny homes offer an affordable housing solution, with prices from $30,000 to over $200,000, though recent supply issues have increased costs. They are popular for multi-generational living and with the 45+ age group.
Key design trends include two-storey models with walkways and practical single-level layouts. Financing is typically a vehicle or personal loan, as homes on wheels are classed as vehicles, avoiding building consent. It is crucial to research your builder and try before you buy.
