But tiny houses can also be expensive. For example, according to a report by real estate agency Rocket Homes, they cost between $30 and $000 on average.

But a TikTok user @minihomemonster found a budget option.

Mostly his channel, which has over 32 subscribers, consists of showcasing tiny homes from Home Depot.

The video's caption reads: "This tiny home at Home Depot costs less than a car."

For comparison: according to Bankrate, the average price of new cars is $716 per month, and used - $526.

The tiny house shown by minihomemonster is 16 x 20 feet (4,8 x 6 m).

It comes with a second floor and stairs.

So this could be a great option for those looking to cut costs in a high inflation environment.

Hidden costs

While the $291 price tag is hard to complain about, there are other costs to keep in mind.

In particular, you will need to invest in upgrades. For example, a recent tiny house cost only $9. However, if all the upgrades were made to resemble the model from the store, its price would skyrocket to $528.

The blogger said he bought the tiny house for a little over $9000 over the winter and purchased materials for DIY repairs.

According to him, "it was not difficult at all."

Also, keep in mind that your tiny home may be subject to annual property taxes if it is on the ground.

According to the SmartAsset calculator, in New York these additional fees will cost you $99.
