Why is Living in a Tiny House Becoming so Popular?
If you were to look at the building trends in the United States over the last few years, while many houses are getting bigger, a huge number are getting smaller as well. In fact, so many Americans now want to live in a tiny house, it has become one of the biggest housing trends in the last couple of decades.
So why are tiny houses so popular, and why may one of them be a good choice for you?
The cost -- One of the first things people take into consideration when deciding to have a tiny house built, is the cost. Unlike a normal sized house in the U.S., which sells for $150,000 and up for just a small one, a tiny house can often be built for under $40,000.
Tiny houses can often be moved -- Many tiny houses are built on wheels. That means they can be parked just about anywhere in the country, and then attached to a trailer and moved somewhere else if needs be.
If you do not want to own a house that gets you stuck in one part of the country, having a tiny house built could be the perfect thing.
They come with every convenience -- The average tiny house comes with a shower and full bathroom, a bedroom area, a small living room and a kitchen. There is often a washing machine, some even have a dish washer, and flat screen TVs and computers are also all the rage.
If you want to live in an affordable home, but do not want to miss out on the luxuries you like, then a tiny house could be the solution.
Great for the environment -- One of the main reasons so many people decide to have a tiny house built is that they are easier on the environment.
Less building materials are used, recycled building materials are all the norm and, when you factor in heating and cooling one is far, far cheaper than is a regular home, they use environmentally utilities as well.
