For $15,000 to $50,000 buyers can get a little custom house delivered to their property via trailer from a California company called, ‘[Little House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-bird-true-wireless-earbuds) on the Trailer.’ The [small prefab structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivia-summit) can be used as residences, workspaces, spare rooms, or grown-up hideaways.

Sing honeycomb panels are used in construction. These lightweight, high-strength, self-insulating, sound-deadening construction panels are just one component of the environmentally friendly construction used in the little house.

In many places, permits are not required. The little house is mobile so it can be placed and moved as desired. The little house is not considered a permanent installation so can be removed from real estate sales and taken when the owner moves.
