Big-box retailers seem to have everything for the home these days—including the home.
Walmart has begun selling tiny homes, months after Amazon offered the unusually stylish pop-up abodes. The “expandable prefab house” from Chery Industrial will cost you $15,900 for the 19×20 foot option.
That’s notably less than what Amazon was charging for the same tiny home in April. (Amazon was asking $19,000—though it did offer a $1,000 discount coupon at the time. At the moment, the house is not available on that site.)
Bargain hunters, though, should be aware that you can get an even cheaper price on a slightly smaller version of the prefab homes by going directly to the manufacturer. A 15×20 foot version of the expandable domicile is currently on sale for just under $12,000.
You will need to supply a few things yourself if you decide to buy one of these homes, like a tract of land to put the house on, along with a foundation, a power source, and water supply. But the house does come equipped with a toilet, shower, and some cabinets. Door locks are included as well.
The house is shipped in a folded state. Once it arrives, you and some friends will have to fold out the walls and ceiling to expand it to its full size. You’re on your own for furniture, of course, but you can buy that at Walmart or Amazon as well.
The tiny-home movement has also been seeing increased popularity in the last couple of decades, as millennials pushed back against “McMansions” and housing prices soared. One 24-year old who opted for a tiny home in her parents backyard managed to save enough money to buy a $250,000 house and gain a substantial TikTok following on the tiny housing lifestyle.
