eBay is selling an ‘arch style’ tiny home for just $9,134 - it's a 'steel sanctuary' but there's a catch

MOST people wouldn't think to look on eBay for a home, but it has an affordable option available for just over $9,000.

Tiny homes have become more popular as traditional prices for homes and building materials stay stubbornly high.

The miniature dwellings have become more readily available to meet the sudden demand, even becoming available on sites like Amazon, Wayfair, and eBay.

Elephant Metal Buildings manufactures and sells metal buildings of all different shapes and sizes.

So far on eBay, the company has sold 173 different buildings, with several being offered as tiny homes.

A popular option for shoppers is DIY home kits, including the arch kit.

For just $9,134, shoppers can get a 25-foot-by-24-foot arched metal building that will last "for decades to come," according to the listing.

And the 15-foot tall ceiling provides tons of headroom for a loft space.

The home can be customized in an endless amount of ways to bring any unique vision to life.

It is constructed from industry-standard 22 gauge metal and includes all necessary fasteners, bolts, washers, and screws, and a manual.

Of course, the home can withstand high winds and heavy snow.

Buyers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Georgia qualify for free shipping as an added bonus.

While this is an attractive option for many who are looking to save money, it's important to note the kit leaves the frame open-ended and does not include sidewalls.

"You will also need to hire a contractor to complete the end walls, as we only provide the metal shell," the product description reads.

Elephant Metal Buildings also does not provide foundation work.

SMALL BUT MIGHTY

Transforming sheds into livable tiny homes is extremely common.

TikToker Mizzahoff (@mizzahoff) showed how they transformed a bare-bones shed with no electricity or running water into the home of his dreams.

"Out here working on life goals," the creator captioned the first video installment of the project.

The outside of the home features a wrap-around porch and chic gray siding.

Insulated windows keep the home lit with natural light and help control the temperature inside.

The shed only cost about $11,000 on its own, allowing the TikToker to complete the project debt-free.

Over the course of a year, the shed was updated with insulation, drywall, and a second-story loft-style bedroom.

Another affordable option is this tiny home kit available at The Home Depot for $13,000.

And see what a tiny home village looks like and how much the homes are going for.
