You may have heard of them before and if you haven’t you most likely will with their increasing popularity on social media sites everywhere. They are defining a new era of home ownership as well as reshaping the idea of how owning a home forces you to choose one location to live in. So what are we talking about you ask? Well tiny houses of course! The tiny house movement otherwise known as the small house movement is defined on Wikipedia as “…a popular description for the architectural and social movement that advocates living simply in small homes.” The key term here being simply.

American homes can range in square footage from the average 1,200 square feet to upscale dwellings that can go well over 10,000 square feet. As Americans we are often pegged with a bigger is better attitude, always wanting everything super sized; but what if having it all wasn’t based on also having the biggest and best? In this case ‘having it all’ is to achieve economic freedom. Enter in the tiny house!

A Tiny House or Small House is typically categorized by being under 1,000 square feet, is built on a flatbed trailer so it can move with you when you relocate,  and if desired can come with wheels for future mobility. Small homes are meant to fit you and your lifestyle so some may be larger, smaller, or stationary. The list of reasons to build, purchase, or design your own tiny home are endless but we can’t go without naming a few! Just think a home you can design, pay off and own while you still have time to enjoy life, less of a carbon footprint on the environment;  simplicity on a whole new level, more focus on the important things rather than maintaining, organizing, and paying off a home too large for your needs.
