Welcome back everyone. I'm Stephen here with Tiny House listings and today I wanted to go over the top five reasons people sell their tiny houses. You'll look Well, we've looked over the years on comments on different social media platforms that tiny house listings is on and we The question keeps popping up. Why are people selling their houses? Isn't the goal to live in a tiny house and Enjoy the benefits from living in a tiny house for the long haul So I thought it would be beneficial to go over the top five reasons why people sell their tiny houses so you can perhaps plan for the future When you're making a purchase for your tiny house you make a wise decision that'll allow you to continue living in a tiny house for the long haul And a lot of times when people sell their tiny houses, it's not always what it seems It's not just because they're selling a tiny house because it didn't work out for them So here we go the top five reasons people sell their tiny houses Okay Okay, so the first of the top five reasons people sell their tiny houses is their family is expanding more times than not a lot of people purchase a tiny house when when they're single or when they're just a couple with no children and If you're single and you decide to think on a partner that you live with There's a good chance your tiny house will be able to accommodate that right like most tiny houses can fit two people Whether it's just a loft to no downstairs sleeping and the bed can you know Normally it's a queen size or larger because the lofts tend to be the same width of the tiny house So there's plenty of sleeping room, but if you decide you have some young ones all the way And the size of your family increases whether that's one kid or two kids You may find out that the tiny houses that you're living in will not accommodate you all may not be practical now That's not to say that there's People not living in a tiny house that our families there are tons tons and tons of families living in tiny houses And the reason that is because they have a tiny house that works well for the family for family life But if you have a tiny house that has let's say just one loft No other not two loaves or no downstairs sleeping or whatever It's going to be cut to have young children in the home if they don't have their own space to sleep in and things like that So That's why I said earlier in the video that you may want to plan ahead when you're purchasing a tiny house If you think you may be one of those people who are going to be Increasing the size of your family. So that's the first of the top five reasons That people sell their tiny house their family is getting larger and the tiny house will no longer accommodate them Just an FYI this list is not in any particular order It's just the top five reasons people sell their tiny house But the second reason that people sell their tiny houses that they can't take it with them They own a tiny house now they've done the hard work of getting it to a place where they can actually live legally Uh, whether someone's a backyard a tiny house community they purchased the land However, that looks like and they can't take it with them. They're moving for whatever reason Uh, it could be that they got married and they have to go Live to where their spouse lived Uh, they could be in the military and getting stationed in a different area Um, it could be that they have a new job Could be that they were in the city and now they have to go to the city where there's no place to park a tiny house Various various reasons and there's lots of them But the second reason is that people have to that they can't take their tiny house with them It's no longer conducive uh to where they're going to move The third reason that people sell their tiny houses because they're actually moving on to another tiny house It's not that they don't love tiny houses It's just the one that they have now is not working for them for whatever reason I've seen a lot of people that love tiny houses But they found that the one they purchased is not mobile enough they want to hit the road and purchase a van Right, so they decided to sell their house and um, you know, move on to a van or vice versa They live in something very mobile bus van or something like that and they want to have something with more room and sit down Like more permanent routes and in a weather and it's in a tiny house community or whatever Uh, but I've seen this very very often where people the tiny house they have they like it But they decided that it's not currently working out for whatever reason it is They want to sell that tiny house so they can purchase a purchase or build another tiny house All right, so the fourth reason that people sell a tiny house is as close as not even actually there's in the first place And what I mean by that living explain is that they built the tiny house with the sole intent of selling it I've selling the tiny house before you didn't move it And there's a lot of reasons for that many many reasons you do have tiny house builders that buy and sell tiny houses for people all the time For a living you have people that maybe just try it out once just to see to get their feet wet Uh, and they need to sell it There are lots of tons actually of high school Uh, programs and university programs that offer shop class and they will sell the tiny house Um, they'll build it for people to get construction experience, carpentry experience, plumbing, electrical and all that And then they will go off and sell it a lot of times on tiny house listings and um, so that's the that's the entire reason they're selling it It was never meant to be lived in in the first place Um, I've seen a lot of situations where there's organizations who build a tiny house to sell it just for the exclusive reason of Raising money for a nonprofit or for some calls so that's the fourth reason people Are selling the tiny house but calls it was built to be sold Okay, so the fifth and not final reason actually there's a bonus one after this But the fifth reason that people sell their tiny houses because unfortunately tiny house living just did not work out for them Which is the most unfortunate reason But a lot of times I'll say that the reason that I can see from a distance You know because a lot of these tiny houses that people sell in tiny house listings We don't get to actually go to or see uh, but just from pictures and speaking with people and Getting a better understanding why they're selling their tiny house is that they never really Downsized Correctly they never Shipped at their focus or the way they're living currently when they moved into a tiny house. They just downsize Took all their stuff with them. That's not gonna work when you live in a tiny house. You're gonna have to Make some serious When you decide to move to a tiny house you got to make some serious decisions in terms of what you're keeping what you're not keeping If you're living in a tiny house, it's full packed full of stuff and you're tripping over it Can't find out what's where there's none of room It's just not gonna work out for you because it's just too stressful and that defeats the entire purpose of living in a tiny house I could get into this on a much broader level or actually much deeper level in an entirely separate video But when you move into a tiny house, you're gonna have to ship your focus I think a lot of times it's good to go and Airbnb or somewhere And ran a tiny house for as long as you can in terms of getting off work and be able to afford what's available and all those And staying it for a while and just decide like hey is this something I think That will work for me because you're gonna have to take that plunge and it's gonna be a major shift a major shift in The way you know life is from day to day So that's the main reason I think that a lot of people don't live in tiny houses another reason That people don't you know time. So living doesn't work out for them full term. There's lots of other reasons, but one of them could be They're worried about what their parents think what their friends think the feedback they get people think they're crazy All of these things, right? So that's another reason, but that's the fifth reason that people live and decide the seller tiny houses because they just didn't work out for them Okay, the bonus reason the sixth reason why people Decide to sell their tiny houses because when they purchased it it was never meant to be lived in for the long term Anyway, right like uh in the most the most frequent read Thing I see when it comes to this reason is that a lot of people purchase a tiny house live in it while they're having a much larger or traditional home built So they want to be there on-site they're building out some selves Want to save money and then resell the house later on for a lot of times what they paid for it If sometimes even more depending on where the house is and another sub reason within this reason Is that people purchase a tiny house with eggs the reason to temporarily rent it out to people or you know their their mother-in-law sick and for whatever reason perhaps she passes or he or she or whatever They have to sell the tiny house because those again it was purchased with the intent of being very temporary and not meant for the long haul All right, so those are the main reasons that people sell their tiny houses the main reason I want to shoot this video is to just spell Some of the myths that I've seen out there people a lot of people were saying hey so many people are selling their tiny houses Why is this is just not what tiny house living not living up to the height that it is or whatever But I mean there are some situations where tiny houses do not work out for people but for the most part There's various well there are various various reasons Um and you may ask how do you know all this how do you know why people sell their tiny houses Well, we have sold a tiny house listings over the years over 10,000 tiny houses have been sold through our website and our service So that's how we know we take a lot of data We you know query people try to understand get better idea So that's how we know But if you have a tiny house and you want to sell it go to tinyhouse listings.com and click post the listing And that way you'll be able to say your tiny house We also have an entire team that sells tiny houses directly for people If you want to purchase a tiny house go to tinyhouse listings.com Forge slash five minute And that way once someone from our team will give you a call with do a quick five minute consultation Figure out where you are where you want and help you get to where you want to be in terms of finding a place to park your tiny house Financing and negotiating a price for you answering all your most burning tiny house questions So I hope you enjoyed the video.
