Tiny Houses are becoming increasingly popular. These tiny homes are primarily occupied by people who aspire to a minimalist lifestyle. But Tiny Houses can also offer a solution for first-time homebuyers.
The concept of Tiny Houses originated in the United States. Following the mortgage crisis and Hurricane Katrina, finding housing on a modest budget became increasingly difficult. This inspired several Americans to start building their own homes. The reason the result became Tiny Houses is because the homes had to fit on trailers. This makes it possible to build without the restrictive US building regulations, something that also applies in Europe.
Tiny Houses have since become a solution for many first-time buyers. But even those with sufficient funds are deciding to leave the high costs of a large house behind and opt for a more liberated life in a tiny house. This allows them to work less and spend more time on hobbies or earn money doing things they truly enjoy.
The environment also plays a role. Many houses, for example, are built with the latest sustainable materials. People who want a minimalist and environmentally conscious lifestyle have found their ideal living environment in a Tiny House. Moreover, the flexibility is very appealing. The houses can be transported. So if you want to move somewhere else, you simply take your house with you. Furthermore, various projects have started with Tiny Houses, and new ones are constantly being added.
While it may seem like a life full of freedom, it's important to keep in mind that these homes are quite small. Think you can live in 15 to 20 square meters? Then it might be a great opportunity to spend more time on your passions instead of a necessary full-time job. A tiny home also costs between €25,000 and €50,000. This is enough to justify a building inspection when you purchase one. At Homekeur, we can tell you more. So feel free to contact us!
