This Tiny Home Costs Less Than $20K
“Tiny homes” like the Sedona provide an affordable off the grid home alternative for savvy homebuyers.
According to Men’s Journal, the Sedona, a groundbreaking new offering from Modular Brands, caught our attention. Not only does it encapsulate the values sought by a growing consumer audience, but it’s well-priced and designed to suit an array of mandated requirements across the United States. “We’re finding that there’s a substantial demand for modular units; however, the rollout of finished modular options varies by state, creating challenges for many companies in our industry,” shares Harrison Langley, Founder of Modular Brands. “We provide modular kits that are constructed on-site, making them compliant with state building codes, thereby simplifying the process of permits, insurance, and financing.”
Fluent in the many rationales that drive consumers to invest in a tiny home, he adds, “These units provide an essential role in the short-term rental market as lucrative cash flow generators, and they can also be transformed into additional bedrooms (with kitchens), office spaces, grow rooms, and even workout studios.”
Priced under $58 per square foot, the $18,500, 320-square-foot modern modular unit isn’t just a home or rental dwelling; it’s a proven testament to innovative design and eco-conscious living. With an average cost that still beats most shipping containers, tiny houses on wheels, and custom retrofits, consumers can find the special balance between price and modern design experience.
Compact Yet Versatile
The Sedona’s footprint of 14’x22′ with a 16’x24′ roof feet makes it a masterclass in efficient design. It assembles quickly on a concrete pad. Whether you’re eyeing it as a primary residence, a guest house, an office, or even a studio, this home adapts seamlessly to various needs. Its compact size belies its potential, offering a spacious feel within its modest dimensions.
Rapid Assembly for Modern Living
Modular Brands cites that The Sedona qualifies as a product with a four-hour assembly if you have four people on-site to get the job done. This blew me away. “The Sedona model from Modular Brands is designed for quick assembly and features six panels with a pre-finished door and window, set on an aged cedar exterior,” described Langley. “The simplicity allows for an easy attachment onto a concrete pad, which enables a swift setup by a team of four people, whether they are end-user clients or building contractors. We provide a detailed foundation plan to help facilitate this process, ensuring a clear step-by-step process.”
With only six panels, the Sedona creates a fully sealed structure, eliminating thermal bridging, which helps to maintain comfortable temperatures indoors. The indoor climate stays cool when needed, and warm when required. Our typical customers are looking for solutions that are affordable and available, but most importantly, built to last.
