Tiny means a stated size under 400 square feet, the building-code line for a tiny house; small runs from 400 up to 1,200. The bands run in steps from under 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet or more, and a home goes in the band its stated size falls in. A size is what the listing states, and a trailer-mounted tiny house is not a house on a foundation. The other bands: tiny: under 400 sq ft has twenty-six, small: 400–799 sq ft has three hundred two, 800–999 sq ft has four hundred two, 1,200–1,599 sq ft has three hundred thirty-two, 1,600+ sq ft has one hundred fifty-nine.
Every price here is an asking price on an active listing, taken from the MLS listings. A starter home is a home that states under 1,200 square feet or asks under $250,000. A size is what the listing states, and a home that states none is left out of every size figure. A median needs three homes or it is left out.
