In 2025, the Spanish housing market continues to break records, but not the kind that ordinary citizens celebrate. The price per square meter in major cities and on the coast has reached such heights that buying an apartment or house has become an unattainable dream for many. In these circumstances, Spaniards are increasingly seeking unconventional solutions, and one of the most talked-about options has been prefabricated modular structures. These offer what the traditional market lacks: speed, affordability, and flexibility.
A real surge of interest in this topic was sparked by the appearance of a unique offer on one of the world’s largest online marketplaces. We’re talking about a folding house priced comparably to a used car. News of the opportunity to own a home for less than ten thousand euros spread through social media at incredible speed. Unsurprisingly, the entire batch of these units sold out quickly, and the product is now temporarily unavailable, further fueling public interest.
What exactly is this much-discussed object? At its core is a sturdy metal frame made from galvanized steel. The distinctive feature of the model is its ability to transform: the house has a folding design with two ‘wings’ that significantly expand the interior space after installation. The walls are made of modern sandwich panels with fireproof and waterproof properties. Buyers could choose from several lengths ranging from 6 to over 12 meters, as well as customize the exterior color to their liking.
The functionality of this type of housing is impressive. The manufacturer presents it not only as a summer cottage or temporary shelter. The structure can easily serve as a permanent residence for a small family, a comfortable office, a security post, a small warehouse, or even staff accommodations. One of its key advantages is mobility. If needed, the house can be folded up, moved to a new location, and unfolded again, making it an ideal solution for those not tied to a single place.
The appeal of the offer is enhanced by personalization options. In addition to the standard configuration, clients could order the installation of a kitchen and bathroom, as well as choose a layout with anywhere from one to six rooms. All this, combined with an extremely low price by real estate market standards, makes these modular homes a serious alternative. They open up new possibilities both for individuals seeking housing solutions and for businesses in need of fast and cost-effective ways to expand their space.
