Starts At Sixty has previously covered the tiny house movement, when people choose to downsize into compact homes. Now Aussies and Kiwis alike are following this trend!
A rising number of tiny houses are popping up across Australia and New Zealand, with some home buyers feeling “priced out” of the property market otherwise.
Living Big in a Tiny House author Bryce Langston says, “There is no one single personality type that suits downsized living”.
“Some tiny house occupants are young and just wanting a stepping stone to get ahead in life… Others are retiring and wanting to downsize to a smaller space, that’s easier to manage”.
“I suppose one thing that they do generally have in common is that they are drawn to a simple way of life”, Mr Langston added. “They are more excited about gaining experiences than material possessions”.
