Best Tiny Homes For Sale in Maryland
Even though at the time of writing (June 2023), we have yet to cover a Maryland-based tiny home builder, that does not mean that there are limited options for tiny homes for sale in Maryland. Given the Free State’s location in the Mid-Atlantic and close proximity to Ohio and Kentucky, residents have access to some of the top tiny home builders in the U.S. This is enhanced by the fact that most tiny houses are built on trailer chassis, which means buyers can buy a tiny home on wheels from an out of state company and easily ship it to most locations in Maryland. That includes cities like Baltimore, Columbia, and Germantown
To help you in your search for an affordable, mobile house with a small square footage, we have created a list of the some of the best tiny homes for sale in Maryland and the companies that build them. For each company, we have included information on their location (which is helpful when calculating potential shipping costs), a summary of their tiny houses, a list of their models with cost information, and photos.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tiny Homes in Maryland
How much does a tiny house for sale in Maryland cost?
A tiny house for sale in Maryland from out-of-state companies that manufacture tiny houses range from $140 - $500 per square foot. This is based on the cost of the tiny home model plus light site work (clearing an area, preparing a flat gravel pad, and preparing utility connections).
What affordable housing options exist in Maryland aside from joining the tiny house movement?
If you are not convinced that a tiny home is best for your situation, it is good to know that there are different options available. If you want something that offers a unique living space and is also affordably priced, then you might want to consider kit homes. There are some interesting options like those designed by Topsider Homes. They are a kit home designer and manufacturer that specialize in building post-and-beam style homes which typically feature unique, octagonal layouts and can also be placed on stilts.
If you are looking into tiny homes to address the rising cost of housing in Maryland, then you might also be interested in a manufactured home. While these kinds of homes are slightly different from traditional homes and modular/kit homes - they usually don’t qualify for the same financing options and their value won’t appreciate the same over time, they are still an affordable alternative to Maryland tiny homes. Companies like Champion Home Builders, Skyline Homes, and Clayton Homes currently serve the entirety of Maryland.
Additionally, if you like tiny houses for their unique aesthetics, you might be interested in container homes for sale in Maryland. While it is true that a container home can be more expensive than a tiny house (either a park model or a tiny home on wheels), they still benefit from many of the advantages of prefab construction. This includes quicker construction times and a more controlled project budget.
If you are a tiny home builder that serves buyers in Maryland or, if you have worked with a company that is not included on our list, we'd love to hear from you.
