The average unit, Richard Kowalchuk explains, provides around 750 square feet of living space, which is divided into two distinct living areas, basically a duplex. Other models are one living area that contains the entire 750 square foot structure. Though this is much smaller than the average 2,100 square footage of a standard house, it’s bigger than the tiny houses that are popping up across North America, from Medicine Hat, Alberta, to Los Angeles, California.
The tiny house movement is exactly what it sounds like, and with benefits like those below, it’s hard to argue with:
• Housing Cost
The average cost of a standard-sized home in the United States, including mortgage interest, is $481,704. Tiny houses cost an average of $23,000 and can be built/purchased for much less. For example, OTB Housing offers livable, high-quality units at $15,500.
• Savings
The average tiny house owner in the United States has an average of $10,972 in the bank, which is more than the average American. Thirty-two percent of these tiny home owners have more than $10,000 saved for retirement and sixty-five percent of them have zero credit card debt.
