Best Tiny Homes For Sale in New Mexico

While New Mexico might not be home to any tiny home builders that we have covered yet (October 2022), that does not mean that there are limited options when it comes to tiny homes for sale in New Mexico. Given New Mexico’s proximity to Colorado and several West Coast states, buyers interested in a tiny house have access to some of the best companies in the United States. This process is made easier by the fact that most tiny homes are built on trailer chassis, which makes them fully mobile. As such, there is the possibility to deliver quality, small square footage homes throughout the Sunshine State. That includes cities like Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and Rio Rancho.

For each company included on our list, we have included links to our more in-depth review of their product as well as a list of their tiny homes with cost estimates.

Another option to combat the high cost of housing in New Mexico are manufactured homes.
