New one-trip, cargo worthy, and pre-built shipping container homes — delivered to your property. Browse curated listings from Container One and eBay.
Shipping container homes use ISO-standard intermodal containers — the same ones used to ship goods across oceans — as the structural shell of a home. They’re available new (one-trip), used, and as fully finished pre-built homes ready to deliver.
Browse current listings below from eBay, Amazon, and Container One — all curated for buyers specifically looking for shipping container homes rather than storage-only units.
Container One specializes in ISO shipping containers (20ft and 40ft) for residential and commercial use. Price includes delivery nationwide.
Shop Container One →| Grade | Condition | Best For | Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-trip (new) | Like new, 1 cargo voyage | Premium home builds | $4,500–$11,000 |
| Cargo Worthy (CW) | Structurally sound, cosmetic wear | Most home builds | $2,500–$6,500 |
| Wind & Water Tight (WWT) | Watertight, surface rust ok | Budget builds, storage | $1,800–$5,000 |
| As-Is | Unknown, buyer beware | Experienced builders only | $800–$2,500 |
For a home, always specify Cargo Worthy or better. WWT containers may have rust penetration or structural issues that compromise insulation and wall integrity.
The term “container home” and “shipping container home” are often used interchangeably — but technically a shipping container home uses the full ISO intermodal container (standard sizes: 20ft × 8ft × 8’6” or 40ft high-cube at 9’6” tall) as the primary structural element.
This is distinct from:
Real shipping container homes benefit from the container’s engineered corner castings, corten steel walls, and CSC certification — all of which make structural modifications more predictable for engineers and permit offices.
eBay has the largest selection of pre-built and partially-converted shipping container homes for sale with nationwide delivery options.
