tiny house trend

The "small house" movement centers around houses of less than 1,000 square feet. And a "tiny house"is less than 400! Owning one of these mini homes is a rising trend nationwide. Trading space for simplicity is one advantage of these small houses. Ultimately the tiny house concept is gaining popularity due to lower costs, reduced environmental impact and a simpler life.
