The typical size of a small home seldom exceeds 500 square feet (46 m2). The typical tiny house on wheels is usually less than 8 by 20 ft (2.4 by 6.1 m), with livable space totalling 120 sq ft (11 m2) or less, for ease of towing and to exempt it from the need for a building permit.
The average price to build a tiny home yourself is just $23,000, according to TheTinyLife.com. You'll pay more to have someone build it for you -- the 10 tiny homes for retirees we feature start at $45,000 -- but the price tag will still be far less than what you'd pay for a full-size home. In 2015, the median sale price of a new traditional house was $296,200, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
