5 Modular Homes Under 150k: A Guide To Finding The Right Home For You
The high cost of housing in Australia today can make the dream of owning a home feel almost impossible. The financial stress of a large mortgage held over 30 years and compounded by interest rate insecurity (in the 1990s we had 17% interest!) can make the issue seem even more daunting. Affordability of housing is key to this dilemma and one solution can be modular homes under 150k.
While price point is a key driver for many seeking to own a home, there are other considerations that potential buyers are also thinking about. Like reducing the physical and carbon footprint of a dwelling, or the virtues of simplicity and minimalism. Is the building eco-friendly, economical to run and built along sustainability guidelines? Can it be completely off-grid, on-grid or a hybrid? Is it portable, modular or stackable? Can it be used as a small extension to an existing dwelling or will it be a stand alone residence?
The tiny home concept has become increasingly popular amongst a wide demographic and for various reasons – affordability, mobility and simplicity of living to name a few. There are books, websites and TV shows dedicated to designing, building and showcasing the best tiny home ideas around. There is, however, also a downside to these beautiful structures – their cost.
Unless you have the skill set to build one yourself, the average tiny house on wheels can cost you $100-$200k. Why is it so expensive? They are often bespoke in design, tailored to your specific needs; tend to be resource demanding with a lot of timber and glass used; and are very heavy in weight needing specially engineered trailers to carry the load.

Whatever your needs, Panstellar Homes will probably have the answer for you.
