Interested in maybe getting a tiny home on a trailer, but looking to just settle on being stationary for a while. Any ideas?

I’m glad people are sharing the zoning atlas. It’s pretty helpful.

I’m a little confused- do you mean you are hoping to stay stationary in a tiny house for a while or stationary in an apartment for a while, then getting a tiny home trailer?
Tiny homes on wheels versus on permanent foundations, you’re probably aware, are treated pretty differently by towns zoning wise. On wheels will be the hardest. CT isn’t the most liberal. On permanent foundations, there are many towns that allow it and many that don’t. The zoning atlas link can help you identify those.
Of course, getting permission to park longterm from someone who has a house on the same property is something you could do either legally or get away with indefinitely, especially in places with privacy or more rural.
I don’t know which towns or sections of towns would allow wheeled indefinitely on your own piece of land, where there is no existing house. There might be some in the state.

Under the current economic forecast, it has been suggested that now is not a good time for large purchases. I'd suggest getting an apartment and deciding at the end of 2023.

That’s the plan here anyway

It’s so hard to know. RE prices are still going up here, while hot areas like AZ are going down

that article literally states 3 reasons to not buy right now, the exact opposite of it's headline
1.) catching a falling knife
2.) buying immediately after the peak
3.) record low inventory + record low sales = unstable prices

I read every article before I post it on reddit.
If that is how you summed its up, okay.

Including the final paragraph? “So does that mean moving would be the best move? Between housing prices and mortgage rates, let’s see how the economy moves first.” The last line is literally “wait and see”. 1234nameuser’s take > yours

There are several year round parks that can accommodate you. Had a traveling nurse friend that used one, pleasant enough maybe busy for a few summer months but then back to quiet.

Just look for an older 20th century home. They can be pretty small.

Why would you want a tiny home or trailer in the state of CT?
Go to Carolinas, Virginias, FL, TX.....

Because CT is a beautiful state filled with educated compassionate people.

That's an unbelievably prejudiced thing to say. Or was it a joke?

They only want a tiny house, not a shitty location.

u/buried_lede had a decent comment from last post Here It’s really not practical around this area, and you generally need to have a form of sewage\wastewater etc.
