Americans are turning to tiny homes and portable living spaces to combat mortgage rates and sky-high real estate prices.

As the owner of Companies That Buy Houses, real estate agent Riley Annen said she believes the trend is not just a passing fancy but a lifestyle shift driven by multiple factors.

"With housing prices soaring and incomes struggling to keep pace, it's no wonder that people are turning to more affordable options.

Tiny homes offer a solution that's not just budget-friendly but also incredibly charming," she told Fox News Digital.

But it's more than economics, Annen stressed. It's "a cultural movement" where people are showing an increased interest in simplicity and sustainability.

"There's something incredibly freeing about downsizing and living with less. And the idea of being able to pick up and move your home wherever you please? It's downright liberating," she added.

The global tiny homes market is projected to grow by $4.82 billion at an estimated compound annual growth rate of 5.37% between 2023 and 2028, a market research report produced by Technavio indicated.

What’s more, it noted the adoption and purchase of these homes are in "high demand" in the U.S.

Last week, a 23-year-old Los Angeles-based TikToker went viral after he purchased a foldable house from Amazon.

"I just bought a house on Amazon. I didn't even think twice about it," Jeffrey Bryant said as he unboxed the house for his audience.

The house has fold-out walls and ceilings that convert into a kitchenette, bedroom and living area that measures 16.5 feet by 20 feet.

After taxes, it cost around $26,000.

It even includes a built-in toilet and shower, though the Tiktoker had yet to do plumbing and electric work at the time, which is likely to drive up the price.
