Walmart is selling a tiny house for less than $16,000
These days you can have almost anything shipped to your door from websites like Amazon and Walmart — including a house.
Walmart is now selling a tiny house online for $15,900. The 19-by-20 feet "expandable prefab house" is delivered by flatbed truck and requires a forklift for unloading, according to the online listing.
Made by Chery Industrial, a New York-based storage solutions company, the tiny home has space for a bedroom, living room, bathroom, dining room and kitchen. It comes unfurnished and without appliances.
Some Americans are turning to tiny homes amid high housing costs across the country , driven largely by a housing shortage stemming from a construction downturn following the 2007-09 Great Recession. Still, the sticker price could be deceiving, given the additional costs associated with owning such a home.
For starters, one would require land on which to install it, as well as building a foundation. The item's description also recommends pouring concrete on its legs to increase its stability. Then there are also costs for everything from hiring a forklift for unloading the home to installing appliances.
