The online retailer is currently selling a portable tiny home that is far cheaper than traditional housing and perfect for first-time buyers.
One of the reasons tiny homes have become so popular in recent years is that buying one outright is the same price as a mortgage deposit.
According to the listing, the Syrup one-Bedroom Tiny Home with Inviting Porch: A Cozy Retreat is made of wood and will set you back just $29,986.22.
The tiny home comes with a gorgeous porch to relax on in the evenings and has a cozy ranch style aesthetic.
Inside, the home features a living room and kitchen area, a bathroom, and one large bedroom.
The house measured 10ft high and 21ft in length and comes with central heating and AC so you’ll be comfortable no matter the temperature outside.
With a five-year warranty, it makes this one-bedroom home the perfect choice for couples who are buying for the first time.
The sellers say: “The modern architecture and central heating/AC make it a comfortable and stylish choice for anyone looking for a unique living space.
“Crafted from high-quality wood and with a square footage of 351, this tiny home is a great choice for those who want to live simply yet comfortably.”
“Whether you’re looking to downsize your living space or simply want to explore the possibilities of tiny house living, this one-bedroom tiny home is a great choice.”

They say it’s easy to assemble and is essentially a ‘house in a box similar to Ikea.’
The house features two storeys and plenty of windows to let in lots of natural light.
TINY TREND
Tiny homes are definitely coming into their own due to higher living costs and the soaring price of real estate.
The modern tiny home movement is considered to have been founded by Jay Shafer, who built his first version when he was homeless at the end of the 1990s.
Since then the movement has expanded as people look for a simpler way of living.
Moving into a tiny home could also reduce your carbon footprint and because the buildings often use recycled materials in their construction, they’re believed to be more sustainable.
Energy bills, too, may well be reduced.
