13 Tiny “Homes” You Can Buy at Home Depot (Starting at $749?)

The price of new homes in many cities and towns has skyrocketed in recent years, putting real estate out of reach for many would-be homebuyers.

However, there is still reason to hope you can buy a home and keep more money in your wallet .

The U.S. Sun recently ran a story about a $699 "tiny home" from Home Depot that stretches the definition of tiny. It looks like little more than a shed, but if you're looking for something truly tiny and have strong DIY skills, it could be just what you're looking for.

Here are some other unique backyard tiny home options available now from Home Depot that are ready for your backyard.

If you’ve ever seen a shipping container home, this model looks similar. However, the front of the roof on this 346-square-foot unit is extended to provide shade.

This minimalist design has one bedroom and one bathroom. The cost is $48,997.

7. Huntington Plus

This model is tiny, even by tiny home standards. With just 96 square feet of living space, you’ll have to design the layout of your home carefully to fit all the amenities you need.

The Balboa is on the smaller end of tiny houses, offering just 96 square feet of living space.

However, with planning and ingenuity, this model could make a cozy home for one. It features a gable roof and a few windows, but the inside is essentially a blank slate for your imagination. The price is $21,999.

11. The Dallas

The Dallas features the same minimalist footprint as the Balboa, and it also comes in at 96 square feet.

However, its shed roof and larger windows give it a more modern, comfortable vibe. It would be perfect for an ADU or tiny home for one person in the woods. The cost is $19,999.

If you’re after the barndominium look, this is the home for you. It measures 32 feet by 18 feet by 18 feet.

The tiniest of tiny homes, this model is designed as a shed. However, by upgrading it to a tiny house, you could own your own home for just $749!

The shed’s galvanized steel and enamel paint allows it to withstand corrosion and rust, but if you're planning to live in Newport, you’ll probably want to add a window and some insulation.

Bottom line

With today's soaring real estate prices, tiny homes are looking less like a hipster fad and more like a legitimate housing option.

Whether you're looking to downsize, embrace a minimalist lifestyle, or simply stop living paycheck to paycheck , a tiny home can be a good choice for many individuals and families.
