What you will have to pay for a shipping container depends on a number of factors, such as location, availability, size, and whether it is new or used. However, here are some ballpark figures of what you can expect to pay:
● New 20-footer: $2,000 - $5,000
● Used 20-footer: $1,750 - $4,500
● New 40-footer: $3,500 - $7,000
● Used 40-footer: $2,500 - $5,500
As you see, the range of these estimates is still pretty wide. The price for high cube containers will be on the higher end of the spectrum. Expect the price of regular shipping containers to be more in the low to mid-range.
This is only the price for the shell. If you just buy the shipping container, you will also need to budget for the costs necessary to convert it into a livable home. Even more so if you want to modify it to your own specifications.
