Catastrophe-proof and dirt cheap — Home Depot's $44,000 DIY tiny house underscores America's obsession with small living
. In the United States, they are the answer to several crises. In Germany, the trend towards tiny houses is associated with financial risks due to the peculiarities of German law.
However, residents hardly have to compromise. These mini-houses have a bedroom, a kitchen, and a private bathroom. The value of a residential building across all types of construction is currently around $339,000, according to data from the US real estate broker Zillow. Prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was only $243,000. Experts predict another five percent increase over the course of the year.
However, the low price of the"Getaway Pad" comes with a catch, as revealed in the fine print. To turn it into a proper house, buyers have to dig deeper into their pockets. Home Depot is only selling the steel frame kit for around $44,000.
