While Maine might not be home to the same number of tiny home builders as it is to prefab home builders, that does not mean there are limited options when it comes to finding prefab homes for sale in Maine. Due to Maine’s location in the Northeastern U.S, residents looking to purchase a tiny house are able to take advantage of their close proximity to quality tiny home builders in neighboring areas. This includes tiny house companies in Vermont, Pennsylvania, and even Quebec, Canada.

While you may think that buying a tiny house in Maine from an out-of-state company is an impractical decision, it is a relatively straightforward process. Due in part to the fact that most tiny homes are built on trailer chassis, tiny homes on wheels can easily be delivered throughout the Pine Tree State. This includes cities like Portland, Bangor, Agusta, and Bar Harbor.

To help you in your search for the best affordable, small square footage home for your situation, we have put together a list of some of the best tiny house companies that work in Maine and the homes they have for sale. As you read through our list, it is worth noting that each company includes links to a more in-depth review of their operations as well as a list of their tiny house models with cost information.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tiny Homes in Maine

How much does a tiny house for sale in Maine cost?

Builders and sellers of tiny homes who are based out-of-state have prices that range from $155 to $684 per square foot for customers who live in Maine. 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 Maine aside from joining the tiny house movement?

If you are looking for alternatives to the tiny houses for sale in Maine, there are a few options available depending on what you are looking for. If you're interested in the tiny house movement and want unique living spaces at a reasonable price, you might want to consider building a kit home. One such option is StudioShed. StudioShed builds and sells smaller square footage home kits (up to 1,000 square feet). Buyers are able to configure their model online and once the kit of materials arrives on site, handy buyers can even assemble the house themselves.

If you want a small house to combat the high cost of housing in Maine, a manufactured home might be another option for you. Even though they are slightly different from traditional homes and modular/kit homes in that they frequently do not qualify for the same types of financing and their value does not increase in the same manner over time, they are still an affordable alternative to Maine tiny homes. Customers in Maine might want to think about Skyline Homes, Champion Homes, and Clayton Homes as options. All of which provide service to customers in the state of Maine.
