If you are a person living alone and wanted things to be in constant reach, then downsizing would be the best thing for you. Downsizing does not only suggest emptying your place, but it would literally mean transferring into a house having roughly 100-400 sq. ft. of space.
Aside from a TV series about tiny houses, the real tiny houses are also getting some increase of interest among home buyers. According to realtor, there has been an increase of Google search for tiny house over the past years. Realtor detailed that such increase of interest is triggered by "whole 'urge to purge' fantasy, affordability and environmental friendliness."
In numbers, realtor reported that there are now 78% of household owning tiny houses. And 68% of these owners have no mortgage, which is in contrast with the 35% of average house owners who have no mortgage as well. From an environmental perspective, a tiny house or home also helps in decreasing the carbon dioxide emissions. A tiny home, as realtor detailed, only releases 2,000 pound of CO2, which is of course in large contrast of the 28,000 pounds CO2 release of an average house with at least 2,598 sq. ft. space.
So in brief, the top reasons why a person would be interested in a tiny home would primarily be because of its cheap price. They are relatively affordable, and serve as best solution for millennial who don't have enough capital to purchase a large house. Aside from the price, the flexibility of a tiny home is also to be considered, for because of its small size it can actually be taken almost anywhere as long as there is a good road to travel. As a bonus you also get to help mother earth heal herself from the pollution around. And with the use of the recyclable material, you can actually have your own customized tiny home.
