Tiny homes are a creative housing solution in a province that’s hurting from a real estate shortage and record high prices.

In Vancouver, it seems like nothing’s on the market for less than a million dollars. So, living tiny is an option many are turning to for relief.

Whether you want to go off-grid and kiss strata fees goodbye or hit the road with a home on wheels, this list of tiny homes for sale near Vancouver shows you what an affordable home looks like these days.

• Metro Vancouver housing market prices will get on like a house on fire in March
• $7M cheaper: Shaughnessy Tudor mansion slashes list price (PHOTOS)
• Vancouver rent had highest annual increase because of course it did

As you browse, remember that you will need to park and possibly hook up your home somewhere, be it a trailer park, your parents’ lawn, or on a parcel of land.

414 – 138 East Hastings Street ($378,000)

Sometimes finding cheap housing to buy means compromising in certain areas. Whether it’s location, size, or age, you might have to make a few sacrifices.

Priced at $378,000, this is the cheapest listing in Greater Vancouver according to Zoocasa.

This home for example is not located in a particularly quiet neighbourhood. It’s in the heart of the Downtown Eastside, listed by Century 21 In Town Realty.

The one-bedroom one-bathroom home is also not particularly large at 444 sq. ft.

What it lacks in size, it makes up for in the general flow and feng shui of the space. It’s laid out very well for a home that’s so small and would be an upgrade from many bachelor or studio suites in the city.

609 – 175 East Broadway ($399,000)

609 – 175 East Broadway, Vancouver (Zoocasa)

This is a building many in Vancouver will recognize.

609 – 175 East Broadway, Vancouver (Zoocasa)

Listed by Sutton Group-West Coast Realty, the unit itself is a 598-sq-ft, one-bedroom, one-bathroom suite.

This historic New York-style building was built in 1912. The unit still has the same original fir floors and vintage radiators. The building was recently replumbed, and portions of the unit have been renovated.

While not particularly large, it’s a pretty good price to own a piece of Vancouver history.
