Nearly 2/3rds of Australians are worried that young people will not be able to afford homeownership as property prices keep rising. This means that a lot of folks are essentially locked out of this Australian dream.
That’s why you need to start thinking outside the box and consider tiny houses in Queensland as an alternate but very attractive route to homeownership. Once you read about all the benefits of a tiny home, you will wonder why you ever thought about a traditional house in the first place. Keep reading to learn more.
Reduced Overall Living Costs
The best thing about owning a tiny home is that your overall living expenses will be considerably less with one than if you purchased a traditional home with all the fixtures. Not only do you not have to worry about a heavy mortgage tying you down for decades to come, but you also won’t spend money on a lot of other things.
Maintenance
Tiny homes are sturdy and built to last. If you choose a good quality manufacturer like Aussie Tiny Houses, then you can rest assured we will use high-end materials and quality craftsmanship to build your home.
That’s why you won’t spend as much on maintenance with a tiny home as you would with a traditional home.
Decorating
Since a tiny home is ‘tiny’, there’s less of it to decorate. That doesn’t mean that you won’t have enough space to do whatever you wish, but that you won’t have to furnish and decorate lots of unused empty bedrooms for some special occasion down the road.
Cleaning
This is the best part for folks who don’t like to clean – that is, most people. If you would rather spend your precious time on this planet doing anything else besides cleaning, then you will love your tiny home. There’s less of it to clean, and it’s easy to keep your home tidy, organized, and neat.
Does Tiny House Living Really Mean Financial Freedom?
To learn more how living in a tiny house can lead to financial freedom, listen to Amy and Greg on the Tiny House Ayurveda Podcast series below where they chat about how stress-free their life is in their Aussie Tiny Houses home on wheels in Queensland and how it’s giving them financial freedom.
No Council DA Approval Is Necessary
If you wish to build a home in Queensland, you have to submit a Development Application (DA) with the council and wait for their approval before you can build anything. But the great news with tiny homes is that you don’t need DA approval for them in Queensland.
This means you don’t have to spend cash on the paperwork or worry about not getting approved for your dream tiny house.
You Can Move Your Tiny Home Wherever and Whenever You Want
This is a big one for those Australians who are bohemian and free-spirited at heart and do not want to be restricted to one city or land for the rest of their life. If you want to move your tiny home from place to place, depending on the season or the weather, then it’s easy to do that.
It’s your asset; that is, you own it. So you are free to move it wherever you want.
Reduce Your Environmental Footprint
Are you worried about the sustainability and eco-friendliness of your lifestyle? Well, with a tiny home, you can rest assured that your environmental footprint will be tiny as well.
This is because tiny homes don’t use up that much material to be built. And you could potentially use salvaged, recycled, or repurposed materials to build your home.
Also, tiny homes don’t use that much energy to heat up or cool down, and also smaller appliances in your tiny home will work much more efficiently, using up less electricity. You can save quite a bit on your utility bill because of this factor.
Go off the Grid if That’s What You Desire
It’s easy enough to set up a tiny home to be completely off the grid. You can use solar or wind resources to give your tiny home power. Also, you can have a way to capture rainwater and use a composting toilet.
If you have land around you where you can grow a vegetable garden using permaculture techniques, you can be even more reliant upon yourself and off the grid.
Financing Available on Tiny Houses in Queensland
You don’t need to worry that you would have to pay the full tiny home cost upfront. There are various financing options available for tiny houses nowadays, which means that all you need to do is decide on a tiny home builder and the design of your home and then get approved for financing.
Since tiny homes are much cheaper than traditional homes, it’s much easier to get approved for financing them. For example, a Tiny House Lock Up starts from $72,900 with Aussie Tiny Houses. And complete turn-key houses start from $96,900.
A tiny home cost is quite affordable, as you can see, which means that housing with tiny homes becomes accessible to many who thought that they would never be able to afford a home of their own.
