Tiny houses aren’t just for people on HGTV who want to unclutter their lives but don’t understand why a bathroom in a shipping container doesn’t have a tub. They are, ostensibly, for anyone who wants to spend less to own a home but doesn’t like the idea of living in a condo or the bungalows their grandparents and great-grandparents once loved. With tiny houses now in every corner of the landscape, we’ve found ones for sale in each state that can be had for less than the average cost of a new car. Click or swipe through to see the all.
ARKANSAS
Location: Houston
Price:$4,800
This company makes vardos — campers modeled after European gypsy wagons — of various sizes, but this 80-foot model is the biggest of the bunch. Many people use them for shops, but there is A/C, a whole lot of insulation, and room for a large bed. A kitchen or bathroom may need to be negotiated.
KANSAS
Location: Beloit
Price:$20,000
Designed as a photography studio, it doesn’t have a kitchen or bathroom, though the current owners are open to suggestions. But this 180-square-foot home has full wiring, spray-foam insulation, a metal roof, a portable air conditioner, and a loft for a full- to queen-size mattress.
