Tiny House For Sale Victoria a New Trend

Tiny houses have been all the rave lately––and for a good reason. Put together towering rental costs, a $500,000 average mortgage, and low-paying jobs, and you have a formula for financial disaster. While an Australian family could comfortably purchase large houses a generation or two ago, the housing situation today isn’t quite the same––and the same goes for the rest of the world. The population is growing, but Earth isn’t expanding. Young people have to compete against a housing market that favours high-earners despite barely making ends meet.

Low-Cost Tiny Living

Here at Stunning Tiny Homes and Modulars, we believe that housing security and financial freedom go hand-in-hand.

Millions of people abandon their 300 square metre rentals in exchange for a low-cost but tiny home they own and can truly call home: are you ready to do the same?

To help you decide we also have a guide on modular homes.

Why buying a tiny house in Victoria? 

Victoria is a wildcard: a city affair on one side, horse pastures on the other, sapphire seas a few ways off, and a hiker’s dream just a drive away. There are very few places that offer the same multifaceted wonder as Victoria, the ideal home for adventurers and wonder-seekers and people who like seeing different people, cultures, and landscapes. There’s much to love in the southeastern corner of Australia––it may just tempt you to pack your bags and take your tiny house for a big move.

Despite all the wonders packed in Victoria, it holds the crown as the smallest of Australia’s mainland states. Out of its 6.6 million people, the heart of its metropolitan facet, Melbourne, is home to over 5 million. Most of the state comprises rural regions, from Loddon Mallee to Gippsland, so there are plenty of opportunities to live off-the-grid if you so wish.

Regardless, whether you choose to buy a tiny house by the beach, a modular property in a historical town, or a granny flat in the middle of a busy neighbourhood, Victoria offers various landscapes to every prospective homeowner.

Melbourne: A City-Dweller’s Dream 

Melbourne is for modern city dwellers who crave the hustle and bustle of fast-paced living, coupled with opportunities to sit back and relax by the beach or live off-the-grid––just an hour or two away. The city’s art district is a haven for youth and open self-expression. Meanwhile, its metropolitan district is where professionals––young and old––grind from 9 to 5, and escape to the nightlife for chill drinks after-hours.

While sky-high buildings are painted in Melbourne’s cityscape, its residential areas tell a more relaxing story: lush greens and houses of all shapes and sizes. Tiny houses are growing increasingly popular in the city and are practical, low-cost but high-quality property options. We highly encourage you to choose a tiny house that you can mount or drive to any location in the whole of Victoria.

There are plenty of benefits living in a property near or within a location like Melbourne:

  • Access to high-end education
  • Access to advanced medical facilities
  • Access to a wide range of restaurants, cafes, and food delivery services––a foodie lover’s paradise
  • Access to public transportation
  • Access to nightlife and entertainment
  • Access to popular shopping centres, grocery stores, pharmaceuticals, and other essentials and non-essentials

If you’re set on living in the centre of Victoria’s metropolis, choose a tiny house in any size that will complement your aesthetic and go-getter lifestyle. We have the most lovely brand-new and second-hand relocatable studios built with the highest quality––all available on our listings, and are ready for delivery in any corner of the state. Or you could opt for a custom tiny home to turn your ideas into reality.

What’s the Difference Between a Tiny House and a Cabin?

A tiny house can be your forever home or it can simply be an additional space to relax in, socialise in, work from, or sleep. The traditional tiny home is built with quality materials such as cedar wood joinery and roofing shingles with electric appliances for running water and electricity.

Earn a rental income from your tiny house

Let’s find out who can potentially rent your tiny house. Firstly, know that one of the main conditions to respect is to have easy and private access to the tiny house.

If you can manage that whilst maintaining your property safe, you might find great interest from people wanting to have their own space but with a limited budget.

Local or foreign students

The main criteria here is to be close enough to universities or transports.

Some students want somewhere calm and clear, whereas others prioritise convenience and comfort.

You will need to assess what needs your tiny house to fulfil the best and adjust your advertising accordingly.

Tiny houses might not be the students’ first choice but if you tick their boxed like proximity to the school, low rent, quiet area and maybe a nice view, they might consider it.

Young couples saving for their dream homes

Yes, that’s right, you can find tenants whose priority is to save money and will find the perfect opportunity to renting your house.

Elderly tenants familiar with your suburbs

They could enjoy the fact you are not too far away and might be available to have a chat or two from time to time. It depends on your lifestyle but they might be some of the most respectful and loyal tenants you can find. However, your tiny house will need to have all the facilities required for this type of tenant.

Home office for yourself

Instead of renting to a stranger, you could use your brand new tiny house as a home office.

It is now common practice to work from home and the need for a home office is increasing. Therefore if you even decide to sell your property, having an office set up in the backyard could be compelling to future buyers.
