How to Find a Tiny House for Sale
Trying to find a tiny house for sale can be overwhelming- online you’ll find dozens of options, from used and pre-owned homes to undeveloped land, or vacant lots.
Luckily, the experts at Turn Key Fabrication are here to help!
Here’s how to find a Tiny House for Sale.
What to Consider when Buying a Tiny Home
The first step is exploring options suitable for your land and zoning laws, as well as considering aesthetic factors and size.
When going tiny, the average American home is 1600 sq feet, which can make downsizing difficult, there is a lot to consider.
When searching for a tiny house for sale, consider–
- What are the land and zoning laws in your area?
- What is the necessary square footage (typically between 100 sq ft – 700 sq ft)?
- How many sleeping areas will you need?
- What kind of layouts do you like?
- Determine the qualifications necessary for financing.
- Consider land purchasing options.
- Choosing the right builder is crucial, and ask the right questions if not buying pre-built or pre-owned.
- Determine the use for the tiny home – will you live there, or will it be a homeshare investment?
Try out different tiny houses by spending a few nights in an Airbnb or VRBO.

What Sites not to Use
Some sites should be avoided and most of them are big-box retail chains. Stores like Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, and Amazon sell tiny home DIY home building kits.
Here are just a few reasons not to use these sites
- Most of these kits only include shells, meaning blueprints and the bare minimum needed to build a tiny home. Things left out of DIY kits include essentials like insulation or finishes like door knobs.
- If you need help with troubleshooting or just have a quick question, who will you call? Big retail stores don’t set aside time or resources for helping you, their only goal is to get you to buy the shell.
- Customization is not included, and customizing later can cost a fortune.
- If you’re not an expert builder, constructing a tiny house from DIY home kits can be time-consuming, frustrating, and extremely difficult.
