ETSY is selling an affordable tiny home that can be shipped for free.

Alternative housing like tiny homes has become more readily available in recent years.

Homeowners have tons of buying options including do-it-yourself kits to build the home of your dreams or prefabricated dwellings that are move-in ready.

The Etsy shop Wood Art By Sezer is selling a handmade tiny home for just $8,000.

The cabin comes as a modular kit and can be assembled in a few hours, according to the product description.

It has four layers of insulation, insulated laminate floors, and all the doors and windows are double-insulated glass to keep it comfortable in all seasons.

The home features a solid steel roof to keep the elements away.

"Our cabin is crafted with care and attention to detail, using only the finest quality wood," the product description says.

"The sturdy construction and durable materials ensure that this cabin will be a part of your home for years to come."

The builder calls it a "perfect escape" that can be used as a guest house, pool cabin, or vacation home as well.

There is one stipulation to consider before buying.

Once the order is placed, production for the cabin will take four to six weeks, and then shipping will be an additional one to six weeks.

If you're hoping to get a tiny home sooner than that, you may want to consider different options.

Affordable tiny homes can be found all over nowadays.

Home Depot has added the miniature dwellings to its inventory, including the $12,000 Malibu Small Space.

It is sold as a 120-square-foot steel stud frame kit that can be put together in about four to six hours.

The house can also be customized before it is shipped to the homeowner so no renovations have to be done.

Homeowners should budget an extra $1,200 for finishing costs like doors, windows, and electricity.

They should also check with local authorities to find out if they'll need any permits to build their tiny home since legalities vary from county to county.

More homeowners are taking advantage of the money-saving opportunities from tiny homes.

One woman explained how she pays just $250 a month in rent for her tiny home.

Plus, see a tiny home community that offers spaces for $650, along with access to a community garden, fire pit, and laundry units.
