35 Frugal Tiny Houses You Can Build or Buy on a Budget

13. Larkspur: $20,000

This home is a bit more expensive than many of the others I have featured on this list, but it is also larger, more of a comfortable size for a family. Perhaps one of the home’s most unique features is its “alternating staircase,” also known as a “Jefferson stair.” This type of staircase was invented by Thomas Jefferson, who used it in Monticello to save space.

14. The Bearmobile: $16,000

The Bearmobile: ,000I don’t know the original construction cost of this tiny home on wheels, but the asking price for it is just $16,000, so presumably it cost even less than that to build. The interior is unfinished, but that means that its new owner will have a chance to customize it fully.

15. Aubergine: $6,000

Aubergine: ,000This home does not have a particularly “finished” look about it, but it is certainly real and down-to-earth. It is quite literally an old school bus with a roof on top of it and a porch attached along with some greenery. It gets major points for being imaginative—and cheap!

16. Lil Red: $18,000

Lil Red: ,000This tiny house is truly tiny—it measures just 90 square feet, and is only 14 feet in length. The house sold for just $18,000. While I do not know what the original construction cost was, it probably was less than that, so this was a cheap house to build, but it does not skimp on style!
