Why Petite Luxury Homes?

In 2020, while working for a Fortune 50 secondary multifamily mortgage firm, CEO Kylanetra (Kyla) Whittington observed the swift impact COVID-19 had on tenants’ inability to fulfill their lease obligations. While homeowners were aided by forbearances, modifications, and the national eviction moratorium, renters heavily relied upon the eviction moratorium to avoid homelessness. Concurrently, she was introduced to the tiny home movement by a close friend, who had been traveling in South America and shared their experience. With the growing threat of homelessness, rising home prices, and this intriguing idea of living in a tiny home, Kyla was inspired to return to the basics and create a social business focused on affordable housing. Understanding that no one is rushing to sell 80 percent of their belongings, she wanted Petite Luxury Homes to offer tiny home experiences that promotes and facilitates positive engagement with living tiny. Petite Luxury Homes wants to assure potential and existing homeowners that they have access to homes that are affordable, modern, and innovative without sacrificing luxury and comfort. While vacation homes are fun, Petite Luxury Homes has a bold commitment to helping others find affordable housing. While providing guests with an immersive tiny home experience, the company will leverage its network to provide ancillary tiny home services, which includes locating certified tiny home builders, realtors, or land, as well as providing general guidance regarding land restrictions and financing. By providing guests with resources and connections, Petite Luxury Homes can facilitate a positive tiny
homeownership experience.

Blueprint for Affordable Housing

The concept of Petite Luxury Homes was undoubtedly established to challenge how we seek the homeownership part of the American dream. Affordable housing programs primarily focus on subsidizing the upfront closing cost for first-time homebuyers. There are even inheritable 50-year mortgages to help lower monthly cost. While those solutions to the cost of purchasing a home are notable, it does not reduce the bottom line. How can we reduce the price of a home? We don’t have much bargaining power on the home price, building cost, or interest rate but we can reduce labor and supplies cost by building smaller homes. In the United States, the median square feet of floor area in new single-family houses in 1973 is 1,525 square feet and in 2021 is 2,273. In nearly 50 years, the median home size has grown by 748 square feet, which is larger than most one-bedroom apartments. Our clients can absolutely have the white picket fence, family, dogs, and a tiny home on .08 acres and we want to show them just how possible it is.
