YOU can now snap up your very own home on Amazon and it arrives in a box.
Amazon is flogging a sleek, stylish “flat pack” tiny home for just $10,000 and it even comes with its own covered porch.
This pint-sized pad isn’t just a glorified shed either.
It’s a fully-fledged prefab home that folds out and clicks into place, making it easier than ever to go from cardboard boxes to home sweet home.
Made with solid steel framing and fire-resistant, foam-insulated walls, the home is built to withstand the elements.
It’s waterproof, thermally insulated, and tough enough to handle just about any weather Mother Nature throws its way.
So while it may be tiny, it’s anything but flimsy.
Inside, you’ll find everything you’d expect from a modern home.
There’s a full bathroom, a shower, kitchen cabinets, and space to relax.
It’s also fully customizable. Buyers can tweak the color, interior design, and even request added extras.
Thanks to prefabricated modules and a clever foldable design, the setup is quick and doesn’t require a full-blown construction crew.
Just unfold, connect, and move in.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
It’s not just a quirky buy either; tiny homes like this are fast becoming a serious solution to America’s housing crunch.
With full-size homes getting more expensive and harder to come by, more people are turning to compact living.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, downsizing retiree, or just want a backyard guest house, these micro mansions are a flexible, affordable option.
The US is in the grip of a housing shortage, with estimates suggesting the country is short by as much as 6.5 million homes.
Construction has tried to keep up, but even with a boost in builds after the pandemic, demand still outweighs supply.
Jay Shafer, the godfather of the tiny home movement, says he saw this crisis coming back in the ’90s.
He’s been calling for updated zoning laws ever since, which has been a major hurdle for would-be tiny homeowners.
But some states are catching on, with places like California, Texas, and Florida relaxing zoning rules and even building tiny home communities.
So if you fancy swapping your sky-high rent for a steel-framed slice of freedom, Amazon’s got just the thing.

What is a tiny home?
Technically, a tiny home is any house measuring under 400 square feet.
Many tiny homes are built on trailers so they can be towed anywhere, and some are converted from old school buses or vans.
Each state has its own rules about tiny homes, but, generally, they are not subject to the same taxes as regular homes.
However, Alaska, Iowa, Louisiana, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Wisconsin, and West Virginia have made tiny homes illegal as permanent dwellings.
