The new real estate trend: tiny houses

An increasing number of mini-houses, or “tiny houses”, are appearing on plots of land on the shores of Lake Balaton. This situation is prompting the authorities to ponder. These small structures are legally considered vehicles, they can even be ordered from China. The local contractor who specialises in them says the building authority cannot interfere with their installation, napi.hu reports.

Norbert Izrael, the owner of Pop Tiny House, burst into the business world in 2021 on his show Among the Sharks (Cápák között, the Hungarian version of Shark Tank in the US). Since then, he has increased his investment by HUF 40 million and launched the tiny house movement in Hungary, Szeretlek Magyarország writes.

According to Mr Izrael, he built his first mini house for himself, then started to build for others. He opened his factory first in Budapest and later in Vác, where he has 12 employees and is continuously producing houses. They are working on four tiny houses at a time.
