Topping The List is a 580-Square-Foot Home in Seattle, WA, Listed for $309,950
Seattle, WA – April 26, 2018 (PRNewswire) (NASDAQ: RDFN) California has six of the top 10 most desired tiny homes on the market, according to a new report from Redfin (www.redfin.com), the next-generation real estate brokerage. Redfin looked at all actively listed single-family homes under 600 square feet in more than 80 markets, and used Redfin favorites to determine desirability.
“It’s not surprising to see so many California homes on the list,” said Redfin Silicon Valley agent Kalena Masching. “A lot of West Coasters are embracing a more minimalist lifestyle, and also grappling with some of the highest home prices in the country. Many are willing to give up square footage if it means the opportunity to live in a neighborhood they desire.”
Riverside, CA currently has the most tiny homes on the market, with 153 currently listed, followed by Phoenix (99), New York (86), Los Angeles (70) and Tampa (55). But the most desired tiny home in the U.S. resides in another competitive market—Seattle. The 580-square-foot home in the South Park neighborhood has been on the market for just five days and already has 68 favorites.
Here are the Top 10 most desirable tiny homes on the market:

“Most desirable”?? To who?? The upper 3% maybe. I mean, really. Low end of nearly $90,000 and high end of almost $600,000?? Come on. There are do-it-yourselfers and builders out there building beuatiful tiny homes anywhere between $10,000 and $60,000. Sure, you need land to place it on (unless, of course, you have a movable tiny home on wheels) but I also know of TH owners who rent/lease land at failry minimal cost or place their tiny on family/friends real estate at nominal cost. Ad, of course, there are relatively inexpenisive cooperative tiny home communities/villages. In short, this Redfin report is hopelessly skewed aand a poor indicator of the actual market out there for tiny homes.
