But a few simple projects can take your tiny home exterior to the next level (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/real-estate-top-agent-insights-survey-q2-2019\/\">improving curb appeal is the no. 1 thing you can do to boost the marketability of your home<\/a>, according to nearly 77% of top real estate agents across the country polled by HomeLight).<\/p>\n<h3>1. Install window boxes for a touch of charm<\/h3>\n<p>Window boxes filled with colorful plants are ideal for improving curb appeal when you don\u2019t have a lot of outdoor space to play with or if you\u2019re selling a mobile tiny home. You can purchase window boxes from any major home-improvement retailer. They come in a variety of colors and styles to match your home, and you can spend as little as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/b\/Outdoors-Garden-Center-Planters-Window-Boxes\/N-5yc1vZbx4r\">$10 or as much as $100<\/a> on a single box depending on how high-end you want to go.<\/p>\n<p>The more expensive boxes tend to have more intricate detailing (like this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Mayne-Self-Watering-11-in-x-36-in-White-Cape-Cod-Window-Box-4840-W\/203913151\">White Cape Cod Self-Watering Window Box for $65<\/a> \u2014 lovely!), but the simpler and cheaper designs come in shades of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Dayton-36-in-x-6-7-in-Jungle-Green-Plastic-Window-Box-DAYWB3650\/307625118\">green<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Dynamic-Design-Newbury-7-68-in-x-36-in-Black-Poly-Window-Box-with-Saucer-NW3612BK\/204499179\">black<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Dynamic-Design-Newbury-36-in-Light-Terra-Poly-Window-Box-with-Saucer-NW3612LT\/204500317\">dark orange<\/a> to boot. You can hang window boxes yourself with a drill, 3-inch galvanized screws, and this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisoldhouse.com\/windows\/21016687\/how-to-hang-a-window-box\">handy guide<\/a> from This Old House, a 40-year-old home-enthusiast brand. (Make sure to choose a window box that\u2019s about 6 inches longer than the window).<\/p>\n<p>Then it\u2019s a matter of which plants to choose for your boxes. According to the Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac, a periodical started in 1792, window boxes look best with lots of plants arranged close together. The Almanac recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.almanac.com\/content\/best-flowers-window-boxes#:~:text=\">anchoring your window box with some base flowers like<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Petunias<\/li>\n<li>Geraniums<\/li>\n<li>Zinnias<\/li>\n<li>Nasturtiums<\/li>\n<li>Begonias<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then, you can fill the gaps with varieties like wandering jew, ivy, euonymus, heather, or vinca. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Potter-Rectangular-Succulent-Planter-Planters\/dp\/B00LG0ZY6S\">Succulent window boxes<\/a> with special draining trays are also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.countryliving.com\/gardening\/a19410989\/window-box-plants\/\">rising in popularity<\/a> \u2014 they look great but remain low-maintenance! You can buy a <a href=\"https:\/\/succulentsbox.com\/products\/succulents-pack-for-beginners?variant=31816558706766&amp;currency=USD&amp;utm_campaign=gs-2019-05-06&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=smart_campaign&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5ovB2vCX6AIVHh-tBh2eRgEwEAQYAiABEgKTXvD_BwE\">variety of succulents<\/a> for around $20.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Make your own vertical gardens<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t have a huge yard with big mature trees and perfectly groomed shrubs? Such is the plight of tiny-home owners the world over. Vertical gardens \u2014 which are plant arrangements that grow in an upward or stacked fashion \u2014 are another great way to add curb appeal to your tiny home. There are lots of different types of vertical gardens, but here are a couple of the easiest ones to DIY:<\/p>\n<h4>Flowerpot tower (from <a href=\"https:\/\/theselfsufficientliving.com\/30-diy-tower-garden-ideas-to-grow-plants-vertically\/\"><b>The Self Sufficient Living<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Buy a few <a href=\"https:\/\/theselfsufficientliving.com\/30-diy-tower-garden-ideas-to-grow-plants-vertically\/\">terracotta planters<\/a> of ascending sizes. Use the biggest planter as your base, and fill it with soil. Place a rod in the middle of a planter. Stack remaining planters on top of the base, from big to small (like a pyramid) using the rod to connect them. Add flowers of choice to each planter. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.towergarden.com\/blog.read.html\/en\/2019\/2\/grow-edible-bouquets.html\">Violets, nasturtiums, daisies, marigolds, and pansies<\/a> will be tower-garden friendly, according to TowerGarden.com.<\/p>\n<h4>Tiered hanging baskets (from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobvila.com\/slideshow\/growing-up-10-inventive-diy-vertical-gardens-47547#hanging-basket-vertical-planter\"><b>BobVila.com<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Purchase a few durable, woven hanging baskets like these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wayfair.com\/storage-organization\/pdp\/sand-stable-handwoven-seagrass-wall-mount-baskets-with-handles-natural-set-of-2-w001706240.html\">storage baskets<\/a> from Wayfair. Connect the baskets with <a href=\"https:\/\/rwrope.com\/products\/mfp-utility-rope-double-braid-jacket-straight-fiber-core?variant=31155288375398\">braided rope<\/a> in a color of your choosing. Add your potting soil and flower varieties, and hang the tiered baskets with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colorcord.com\/products\/round-swag-hook?variant=12363351031910&amp;currency=USD&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq7vTsMSf6AIVh8DACh2ICA5QEAQYASABEgL90PD_BwE\">strong hook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Ladder garden (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ana-white.com\/woodworking-projects\/cedar-vertical-tiered-ladder-garden-planter\"><b>from Ana-White.com<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Ladders serve more than their practical purpose of helping us reach high places. The right kind of ladder (preferably wood) in the right setting can be the perfect structure to support a vertical garden that you prop up against your tiny home.<\/p>\n<p>Ana-White.com has a great tutorial for how to build your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ana-white.com\/woodworking-projects\/cedar-vertical-tiered-ladder-garden-planter\">ladder garden planter using cedar fence pickets<\/a>. The project costs about $20 but does require using a compound miter saw and a staple gun. However, this DIY option allows you to add your soil and flowers\/herbs directly into the runged planters.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively (for the more novice DIYers) you could buy a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/pep\/Lavish-Home-5-Tier-Natural-Wooden-Leaning-Ladder-Storage-Shelf-W050036\/309398582?mtc=Shopping-BA-F_HDH-G-D59-59_34_INTERIOR_FURNITURE-MULTI-NA-Feed-PLA-NA-NA-Home_Office&amp;cm_mmc=Shopping-BA-F_HDH-G-D59-59_34_INTERIOR_FURNITURE-MULTI-NA-Feed-PLA-NA-NA-Home_Office-71700000048685358-58700004834194635-92700046771714000&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_JHJhtef6AIVUvDACh0CugSyEAQYASABEgKux_D_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\">tiered ladder like this natural wood variety<\/a> from Home Depot ($131), and place your plant containers on top of each tier. You could even paint the ladder a fun outdoorsy shade like <a href=\"https:\/\/m.valsparpaint.com\/color-chip.php?id=101012&amp;g=100005&amp;r=lowes\">robin\u2019s egg blue<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glidden.com\/colors\/yellow\/sunny\">sunny yellow<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Give your front door a fresh coat of paint<\/h3>\n<p>Take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/front-door-curb-appeal\/\">condition and color of the front door<\/a>. If it doesn\u2019t wow you, dress it up with a fresh coat of paint for a dash of instant pizzaz. If your tiny home exterior is neutral, consider a bold color like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjaminmoore.com\/en-us\/color-overview\/find-your-color\/color\/1309\/moroccan-red?color=1309\">Moroccan red<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwin-williams.com\/homeowners\/color\/find-and-explore-colors\/paint-colors-by-family\/SW6502-loch-blue\">blue loch<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwin-williams.com\/homeowners\/color\/find-and-explore-colors\/paint-colors-by-family\/SW6909-lemon-twist\">lemon twist<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/m.valsparpaint.com\/color-detail.php?id=2592&amp;g=1004\">sassy green<\/a>. Alternatively, you could stick with earthy tones like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/consumer\/ColorDetailView\/PPU9-4\">olive<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwin-williams.com\/homeowners\/color\/find-and-explore-colors\/paint-colors-by-family\/SW9129-jade-dragon#%2F9129%2F%3Fs=coordinatingColorsp=PS0\">jade<\/a>, or black.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15137\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15137\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"775\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging-775x413.png\" class=\"attachment-content size-content\" alt=\"Curtains used to sell a tiny house.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging-775x413.png 775w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging-64x34.png 64w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging-128x68.png 128w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging-192x102.png 192w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging-432x230.png 432w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging-500x267.png 500w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging-800x427.png 800w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging-666x355.png 666w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tips-for-selling-a-tiny-house-staging.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15137\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: (Filios Sazeides \/ Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Keep your staging minimal, using mirrors and curtains to your advantage<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to staging your tiny house, less is more. With so little square footage to work with, it\u2019s very easy to over-stage, which makes the space feel cluttered and small.<\/p>\n<p>Your top priority, before you bring in any extra decorative items, is to keep an exquisitely neat and tidy home. If your closets and cabinets look stuffed, eliminate items such as excess coffee cups, clothes, and kitchen gadgets to make each precious storage area appear sufficiently spacious. What you do with the overflow is up to you: Sell, digitize, donate, and box up anything you can\u2019t part with. Temporarily place your boxes in an offsite unit or friend\u2019s garage, but get it off the property.<\/p>\n<p>As for other tiny home staging techniques:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Limit your use of rugs to keep the room-flow open and stick to smaller furnishings proportionate to your square footage.<\/li>\n<li>Paint walls a shade of white.<\/li>\n<li>Draw the eye outdoors using large mirrors.<\/li>\n<li>Hang curtain rods <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/how-to-hang-curtains-227318\">4-6 inches<\/a> above windows and use rods that extend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/home-organizing\/decorating\/curtains-window-treatments?slide=661061#661061\">3-6 inches beyond both sides of the frame<\/a>. Select curtains with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housebeautiful.com\/design-inspiration\/g4154\/make-your-windows-look-bigger\/\">a subtle vertical stripe or pattern<\/a> to add the illusion of height to the window.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Showcase your tiny home\u2019s space-saving and convertible features<\/h2>\n<p>People out shopping for tiny homes may be coming from regular-sized, single-family residences with walk-in closets and tons of cabinets. They know they\u2019ll need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/downsizing-tiny-house\/\">downsize their belongings to comfortably live in a tiny house<\/a> and shift gears on how many guests they can entertain.<\/p>\n<p>However, the more you can show off the storage potential and modifiable room arrangements of your tiny home, the more attractive it will be to those coming from different ends of the \u201cI\u2019m a minimalist\u201d spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>Take, for example, the 304-square-foot, off-the-grid cabin of <a href=\"https:\/\/unitedtinyhouse.com\/meet-thebhive-family\/\">John and Fin Kernohan<\/a> in the woods of Georgia.

Whether you built your tiny home from scratch or selected each update with care, you take great pride in every little detail. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/agents\/meaghan-baker-tn-329749\">Meaghan Baker<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/dickson-tn\/top-real-estate-agents\">top-selling real estate agent in Dickson, Tennessee<\/a>, found this to be the case when she sold a client\u2019s one-bedroom, 528-square-foot house in her area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was doing the property description, I tried to really focus on the fact that it was a little cabin, a getaway in the woods,\u201d she recalls. \u201cThe house had a connection to the land and it also had a connection to my client \u2014 because that\u2019s his family\u2019s land and he really put a lot of thought and a lot of his heart into creating this home for himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This particular seller had invested in what Baker estimated to be $3,000 African mahogany countertop in the kitchen. He also hand-built \u2014 with wood right there from the land \u2014 a cherry barn door to separate the bedroom and living room. The best way to convey these details about your own home to potential buyers? Have a conversation with your agent about your home\u2019s history and what makes it stand out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really sat down with the client and asked him to give me all the details on every type of wood he used and where he used it,\u201d Baker says. &#8220;It was really important to emphasize that in the listing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her strategy worked: The tiny home she was selling (much to her surprise!) attracted multiple offers and sold over asking.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, ensure that whatever features are unique to <i>your<\/i> tiny house shine through as you market the property, whether it\u2019s a high-end stackable washer and dryer, your dedication to using sustainable building materials throughout, your handy bike storage contraption, or a rooftop terrace.<\/p>\n<p>If your tiny home is permanently placed (i.e., not on a trailer with wheels), highlight the parcel of land your property is on. Show how it\u2019s nestled at the foot of a mountain or situated in a beautiful wooded area. High-end professional photography is a must, and you could even <a href=\"https:\/\/uavcoach.com\/real-estate-drone-photography\/\">capture some aerial shots using drone technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Sell the tiny home lifestyle, from jet-setting to cost savings<\/h2>\n<p>In Baker\u2019s experience, \u201cOffers [on the tiny home] came in from everywhere, but each of the buyers was looking for the same thing \u2014 a more minimalist lifestyle to get away from the upkeep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What a great insight for tiny-home sellers! You too can highlight how low-maintenance your home is (\u201cIt only takes 30 minutes to clean from top to bottom!\u201d) and everything you\u2019re able to do because you\u2019re not tied to a traditional house: Travel, spend time outdoors, work fewer hours, whatever the case may be. \u201cBelieve it or not, one of Fin&#8217;s main reasons for going tiny is the ability for us to clean our house quickly and thoroughly in a very short amount of time,\u201d John Kernohan says.<\/p>\n<p>You should also spell out the cost savings, including what you normally pay in utilities each month. \u201cUtilities in a tiny home are just a fraction of the cost of living in a conventional home, as much as 85% less,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinyhomebuilders.com\/blog\/author\/dan-louche\/\">Dan Louche<\/a>, the founder of Tiny Home Builders, one of the country\u2019s largest tiny home manufacturing companies. Tiny house living can relieve dwellers of many expenses, leading to debt-free living, and who isn\u2019t excited about that possibility?<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your comfort level, the more personal you can be, the better. When buyers are new to the tiny house lifestyle, it pays to educate and share your experience with the home and to really illustrate what your day-to-day life looks like. You can include an FAQ sheet in your marketing materials or provide a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/letter-to-new-home-buyer-from-seller\/\">personal statement<\/a> with the property to give potential buyers insight into the tiny home benefits they\u2019d never dreamed of.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15138\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15138\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/how-to-sell-a-tiny-house-house-1.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"666\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/how-to-sell-a-tiny-house-house-1-666x381.png\" class=\"attachment-content size-content\" alt=\"A tiny home that will sell.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/how-to-sell-a-tiny-house-house-1-666x381.png 666w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/how-to-sell-a-tiny-house-house-1-64x37.png 64w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/how-to-sell-a-tiny-house-house-1-128x73.png 128w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/how-to-sell-a-tiny-house-house-1-192x110.png 192w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/how-to-sell-a-tiny-house-house-1-432x247.png 432w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/how-to-sell-a-tiny-house-house-1-500x286.png 500w, https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/how-to-sell-a-tiny-house-house-1.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15138\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinyhomebuilders.com\/\">Tiny Home Builders<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Capture photos with a wide-angle lens on a sunny day<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIn our experience, a wide-angle lens is a requirement [for marketing tiny homes],\u201d Louche says. <a href=\"https:\/\/expertphotography.com\/wide-angle-lens\/\">Wide-angle lenses<\/a> have a wider field of view than the human eye and the photos they\u2019re able to capture make tight spaces look roomier.<\/p>\n<p>The trade-off with a wide-angle lens, however, is you\u2019ll get a distorted fish-eye look in your photos if you don\u2019t use the technology properly. To avoid that, Louche recommends running the images through software (here are a <a href=\"https:\/\/asapguide.com\/how-to-remove-fisheye-distortion\/\">few methods with varying degrees of difficulty<\/a>), to correct the images. When in doubt, hire a professional photographer with experience using a wide-angle lens to photograph your home.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to capture photos on a clear bright day, as \u201cYou\u2019ll want to show off the natural light that pours into your home,\u201d advises John Kernohan. Lighting a tiny home naturally is much easier than bringing in professional lighting equipment, which can be challenging in a cramped space.<\/p>\n<h2>Price your tiny home with a pre-listing appraisal and top agent\u2019s expertise<\/h2>\n<p>According to a <i>Reader\u2019s Digest<\/i> interview with the producer of <i>Tiny House, Big Living<\/i>, tiny home prices can range anywhere between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/advice\/saving-money\/costs-owning-tiny-home\/\">$10,000 and $180,000 but tend to average around $30,000-$40,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, valuing tiny homes can be tricky. For one, from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/buyer-average-price-per-square-foot\/\">price-per-square-foot<\/a> perspective, tiny homes are expensive, making it hard to compare them to any other kind of real estate.<\/p>\n<p>Data show tiny homes cost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/how-much-does-tiny-house-cost-worth-it-2019-2\">$300-$400 per square foot<\/a> to build, compared to $150 per square foot for regular homes. When you\u2019re packing so much function into a small space, each part of that space becomes more valuable. Think about how, in a tiny home, kitchens, beds, and baths account for a greater proportion of the total square footage that would otherwise go to hallways, closets, entryways, etc.<\/p>\n<p>You also have to adjust your price based on the features and upgrades of the home. Expensive materials and selections (like the luxury cabin in the woods offered) are going to sell for a premium while a no-frills basic version won\u2019t fetch a fraction of the same cost.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing is also completely different depending on whether you have a permanent location versus mobile tiny home on wheels. A mobile tiny home isn\u2019t going to gain value in the same way. It\u2019s actually the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/mortgages-real-estate\/08\/housing-appreciation.asp\">land your home is built on<\/a> that appreciates, which is why location has such a big impact on a property\u2019s value.<\/p>\n<p>With all of these factors to account for, you can opt to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/how-to-get-a-home-appraisal\/\">get a pre-listing appraisal<\/a> from a professional appraiser to use in your pricing strategy. If you need to factor in any land, you can look at comparable land sales in the area to get a price-per-square-foot comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Baker\u2019s experience is an excellent example of how pricing a tiny home can be a bit of a moving target:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 40px;\"><i>\u201cThe seller had gotten an appraisal on the house a few months before we put it on the market,\u201d she recalls. \u201cWe took his appraisal, and we looked at the other land that had sold in the area and got the square footage price, which brought our price down a bit to $129,900. We ended up selling it for $140,000, which was close to the original appraisal.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<h2>Be upfront with buyers about zoning and building rules<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s no longer the Wild West (as fun as that would be!) Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/research\/is-zoning-a-useful-tool-or-a-regulatory-barrier\/\">city and state zoning laws<\/a> set rules for how land can be divided and which types (and size) of structures you can put there. Unfortunately, tiny homes often clash with building and zoning regulations, particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cresinsurance.com\/tiny-house-big-problem-understanding-the-legal-risks-of-building-buying-and-selling-tiny-homes\/\">local minimum square-foot requirements for<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/buyer-does-new-construction-hold-its-value\/\">new construction<\/a>. When a house doesn\u2019t meet these local requirements, you can\u2019t build it on a residential lot.<\/p>\n<p>To circumvent this issue, many tiny homes are built on trailers and parked in lots or RV parks (which may require appropriate permitting). In that case, you\u2019re selling a personal property, which can be registered as a trailer, explains Louche, and you should be transparent about what buyers are getting, i.e., just the house \u2014 not any land.<\/p>\n<p>If you own, instead of lease or rent, the plot of land the tiny house is on, you\u2019ll need to consult with your real estate agent and possibly an attorney about the legal requirements in your area. If the home\u2019s foundation is in the ground and your utilities are wired into the grid, you\u2019ll have little choice but to package the home with the parcel of land.<\/p>\n<p>When looking for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/find-real-estate-agents\">top local agent<\/a> to sell your tiny home, make sure whoever you choose has experience in the market and strong familiarity with the zoning laws in your area to help you navigate these intricacies.<\/p>\n<p><em>Header Image\u00a0Source: (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinyhomebuilders.com\/\">Tiny Home
