Key insights
Tiny houses on fixed foundations can appreciate as real estate if properly permitted as single-family residences with an address, but can be difficult to appraise due to a lack of comparable sales (comps).

Underestimating the cost of building a tiny house is a common mistake; fixed costs like driveways, electrical meters, and septic systems are the same regardless of size, significantly increasing the price per square foot.
