Simplify Further Tiny Homes’ Tulsi starts at $35,000, and is NOAH-certified

That price buys a compact shell with a clear promise: keep the footprint small, keep the home movable, and keep the cost out of conventional-house territory. It does not buy square footage to spare. At 161 square feet, the Tulsi is the kind of tiny home that forces every inch to earn its keep, which is exactly why the builder’s emphasis on usefulness matters more than novelty. The model’s size keeps it highly mobile, but the value story depends on how efficiently that interior is planned.

The certification badge is part of the appeal. The Tulsi is NOAH-certified, and NOAH RDI says its standards are designed for small, movable dwellings. NOAH’s ANSI+ Standard for tiny houses on wheels was available as of August 15, 2022, which gives the Tulsi a standards-based credential in a market where too many builds lean on aesthetics alone. For buyers weighing whether a tiny home can function as a real residence, that certification signals a more serious approach to construction and safety.

The price also sits in a market that still rewards restraint. Realtor.com has cited HomeGuide data showing tiny homes commonly run from about $30,000 to $70,000, so the Tulsi lands near the lower end of that band. That matters against the broader housing market, where the Census Bureau reported a median new-home sales price of $387,400 in March 2026 and an average price of $503,100. Even the National Association of Home Builders has pointed to a shrinking standard, saying median home size fell from 2,200 square feet in 2023 to 2,150 square feet in 2024, the lowest in 15 years.
