just $20,000 has sent Amazon fans into a frenzy<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\"><strong>If you&#8217;re anything like most millennials and Gen Zers, then you&#8217;re probably struggling to get on the property market.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">House prices have soared in recent years across\u00a0<a class=\"link_link__LDfG6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/world-news\">the world<\/a>\u00a0and with this in mind, many young people are forced to rent their homes instead of buy them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">In fact, in 2021 a\u00a0<a class=\"link_link__LDfG6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2021\/08\/02\/as-national-eviction-ban-expires-a-look-at-who-rents-and-who-owns-in-the-u-s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> found that around two-thirds of young adults under the age of 35 were living in rentals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The same year marked the first time the average house price in\u00a0<a class=\"link_link__LDfG6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/us-news\">the US<\/a>\u00a0exceeded\u00a0<a class=\"link_link__LDfG6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/money\">$400,000<\/a>, and things have failed to improve since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">As of late 2023, the average home price in the US rose to an eye-watering $495,100.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">But for those of you who are dying to move out of your parents place finally, there&#8217;s a substantially cheaper alternative to buying a\u00a0<a class=\"link_link__LDfG6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/property\">property<\/a>\u00a0and it&#8217;s available on\u00a0<a class=\"link_link__LDfG6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/amazon\">Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The huge retail site sells everything from books,\u00a0<a class=\"link_link__LDfG6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/technology\">tech<\/a>\u00a0and make-up, but you probably didn&#8217;t realize it also sells tiny homes (also known as accessory dwelling units or ADUs to some) too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">When we say tiny, we mean the just under 400 square feet, which is a little bit smaller than your typical studio apartment.<\/p>\n<div
