The real estate market may not be in the best spot for would-be homeowners right now, but that doesn’t mean you need to give up your dreams of being free of a landlord quite yet. In fact, tiny homes have recently become a hot topic for this very reason, and Amazon is actually surprisingly stocked with a multitude of cozy (and customizable) options at far more budget-friendly prices than a full-sized house. 

Our favorite pick? This modern two-bedroom home that boasts a bright, expandable living room, spacious bathroom, and kitchen — all for under $12,000. 

Expandable Prefabricated Modular Tiny Home

On top of being pre-built and ready to move in, the beauty of this compact home is you’ll have the option to customize much of the appearance and design, from the layout plan to exterior finishes. The kitchen can be tailored to an open floor plan that’s well-suited for hosting and crafting elaborate meals, while even the roofing and siding can be updated to your personal preferences.

If you’ve been looking for a home that lets in ample sunlight but haven’t found a selection you adore in your budget, this prefab house will surely catch your eye as one of its primary features is the glass curtain wall that lets light stream in no matter where you choose to set up camp. Plus, if you’re looking to have more vertical space, the seller provides the option to add a terrace roof for even more room to relax.

As for the construction of this home, the walls are insulated and the floors are made from 18 mm of cement for impressive durability. Standard electrical wiring is also included, furthering the convenience of this easy-to-assemble tiny home. The kitchen is fitted with cabinets so you can save on the cost of additions, and even the bathroom is fully equipped with everything you need to move in and get settled as quickly as possible. If you want to make any additional upgrades or design alterations, just reach out to the brand’s support team to get it  customized just for you.

Perhaps most importantly, the manufacturer noted that this home is “built to withstand various weather conditions and natural disasters, ensuring the safety and security of occupants,” and you’ll receive a one-year warranty so you can rest assured you feel comfortable and confident in your new tiny home.
