Frequently Asked Questions About Tiny Homes in Montana

How much does a tiny house for sale in Montana cost?

Tiny homes for sale in Montana from out-of-state companies that build and sell tiny houses,  range from $257 - $575 per sq ft. This is based on the cost of the tiny home model plus light site work (clearing an area, preparing a flat gravel pad, and preparing utility connections).

What affordable housing options exist in Montana aside from joining the tiny house movement?

If you are in the market for an alternative to tiny homes for sale in Montana, luckily, there are several options to choose from. The tiny house movement has captured the attention of many people who are looking for unique living spaces at an affordable price. If you are one of those people, then you might want to also consider kit homes. Barn Pros is one potential option. They are designers and manufacturers of a series of barns and barn-home kits. They all feature timber as a prominent element in their designs.

If you are someone who is looking for a way to combat the elevated cost of housing in Montana, you might be interested in manufactured homes. They are different from traditional homes and modular/kit homes. For instance, they often don’t qualify for the same financing options and their value doesn’t appreciate the same over time as traditionally built homes. However, they still are an affordable alternative to Montana tiny homes. In Montana, companies like Redman Homes, US Modular, and IndieDwell serve customers in Montana.
