Retail giants like Amazon, Home Depot, and Costco are now selling mini-home “kits” for less than $50,000.
Although land isn’t included in the price and can be particularly expensive, the low basic cost of a tiny home can help many. Amazon, Home Depot, and Costco sell kits on their websites that buyers can use to build their own tiny house.
Here is an overview of some of the available structures.
The selection of tiny houses for sale on Amazon in the US and Canada includes dozens of structures, including cedar sheds, cabins, and a domed “moon house.”
The Moon House sells for $20,000 in Canada and will be delivered in two weeks.
It is spread over two floors and is 986 square meters.
Another home available on Amazon is 1,490 square feet and is selling for $66,000.
The houses are sold without interior finishing, which can significantly increase the cost. The connection to water and electricity must also be taken into account.
The Home Depot also offers small home kits ranging in price from $10,000 to $74,000 on the US website.
Inexpensive apartments are sold as home offices or guest rooms.

A slightly more luxurious structure called “Getaway Pad” with an exterior spiral staircase costs $44,000.
Costco also offers a choice of storage sheds or “studio sheds”. The price of these small structures varies from about $2,000 to $17,000. These one-room structures could serve as storage rooms or guest rooms.

Upon delivery, many of these kits are ready to assemble.
They are therefore easy to assemble and can be used as a summer hut on site without the need for expansion, water or electricity.
