ON TREND HOMES
Tiny houses are becoming increasingly popular for Americans entering the housing market.
With real estate more expensive and household finances under pressure from the high cost of living, they provide an affordable alternative to purchasing a traditional home.
Suitable for first-time buyers and downsizers, they offer a cost-effective solution for homeowners who need more space.
Typically, small houses are up to 400 square meters in size and can be built on a solid foundation or on wheels.
The rules for their construction can be different depending on whether they are intended to stay in one place or are portable. It is therefore worth finding out about the regulations before purchasing.
Some states also don’t allow tiny homes. Therefore, potential buyers should also inform themselves about the laws in their state.
