Where to buy your very own tiny house? 

Finding a cute house these days is not so difficult. Your real challenges, however, are going through the legalities and making sure it truly fits your lifestyle and needs.

It’s even more complicated when you have a kid.  

So, where can you actually buy your very own tiny house? Here’s the simple answer. You can find plenty of real estate marketplaces online that let you pay for tiny houses. They will then ship it to your location. You can also check out Amazon for prefab tiny houses and blueprints, and then build it yourself.

Want something more? We got you. Below, we listed sites that offer tiny houses, floorplans, and other options. 

Where to buy your very own tiny house

1. Tiny House Listings

You may have joined the bandwagon by looking for tiny houses; however, that doesn’t mean you have to get similarly designed abodes as well. Good thing an online marketplace such as Tiny House Listings exists. 

As mentioned in their landing page, Tiny House Listings has plenty of interesting and unique house designs to offer.

We checked out their Browse section and they have a pretty diverse array of tiny house designs—from trailer-style houses to minimalist ones. 

People can also post their designs on the site and sell them. So, whether you’re planning to rent, sell, or actually buy one, you can do all of those on THL. 

Meanwhile, if you’re ready to move into a tiny house but your pocket isn’t, you can also opt for their financing. THL has worked with Even Financial to let online buyers apply for up to $100,000-worth of loans on their website. 

Even Financial is an Application Programming Interface (API) for financing mobile applications, so if you’re really serious about applying for a loan, you can do it for free and hassle-free on the site of Tiny House Listings.

2. Amazon 

Although your search won’t be as laser-focus on Amazon compared to others, it’s still a viable option if you’re still looking around. But in all honesty, it has a meh quality to it, but you can still give it a try. 

A search on Google about “Amazon tiny houses” will lead you to this page entitled Tiny Homes: Amazon. On the page, you will find a random mix of unavailable prefab products, very few prefab houses, and documentaries. 

So, instead of browsing further on that page, we suggest you type “tiny houses” at the search bar on the top and then hit enter. Amazon will then lead you to a list of prefab tiny houses.

Although, it will still suggest documentaries about small houses (which is not surprising but still weird).

3. New Frontier Tiny Homes 

Want a rustic tiny house where you can write in peace, hang out with your friends, or relax with your significant other for a weekend? NFTH might just have something perfect for you. 

On their landing page, you can instantly see a list of beautiful, quaint rustic tiny houses. Made of wood and steel, their small size only accentuates the peaceful vibe they give. 

Those beautiful houses have names, too. Alpha, Escher, Cornelia, and Orchid—and they all have unique designs that cater to a particular buyer’s preference. Cornelia, for example, is designed for writers who want to finally finish their great American novel.

While they don’t offer to finance, they have suggested personal or construction loans from lenders like LightStream, SoFi, and Prosper.
