The Internet is our best friend. It allows us to order supplies, shoes, equipment, clothes and whatnot, from the comfort of our apartment or work. But, did you know that you can also order entire houses?

The online shopping market has been growing increasingly for the past few years. While one might be afraid to buy a pair of shoes without trying them on, some people are not afraid to order houses. Now, Amazon is making it possible by offering a number of prefabricated houses on its site.

Kit houses are also known as mail order homes or ready-cut houses and they were the most popular in the first half of the 20th century in the United States and Canada. These pre-cut houses are sold by various manufacturers and they come in different styles and plans. Once you order the house, you receive all the necessary materials as well as a construction plan of the house. It is important to mention that these houses usually do not include bricks, concrete, or masonry.

Prefabricated and modular housing — with homes prebuilt in factories — is having another moment. From 2013 to 2018, industry revenue grew an annualized 8.6% to nearly 10.5 billion, including growth of 4.1% in 2018 alone, according to research firm IBISWorld.  <!-- /wp:paragraph -->  <!-- wp:paragraph --> Even though these houses are tiny, some can even become full-time residences. The best part of it is that all the materials are shiped to your preferred location together with deatild instructions on how to piece them together. <strong>Most of these houses can be assembled by two adults in two or three days. </strong> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->  <!-- wp:paragraph --> The prices of houses range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands. Below are some photos of what sort of homes are being sold on Amazon.  <!-- /wp:paragraph -->  <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4>1. <strong>Timber Frame Kit39,976.00
