Houses are generally made of wood or masonry, with ceiling heights of 8–9 feet. Barndominiums, on the other hand, are often built of metal and can have vaulted ceiling heights of 14 feet or more. Although they look like houses from outside, a barndominium does not have walls inside its enclosure, instead it has bars that divide up the space into smaller rooms you can reach through doorways in the bars. In most states, a barndominium is considered an improvement to real property that can be sold in itself. The buyer would not need to purchase the adjoining land to enjoy the benefits of living in a barndominium. If you want to sell your barndominium, you would usually be offered a price based on how many square feet it contains. You may be able to get more money if you list it with a real estate agent instead of doing it yourself. The advantage of selling your barndominium separately is that you can choose your future landlord carefully. You might want to move somewhere else after a few years and find a barndominium that fits your lifestyle better. Or you could keep the same one by renewing the lease. There are also barndominium communities where different owners can mix and match their floor plans to create unique living spaces.
