Price Range of Housing Containers

The price range of housing containers varies widely, from several hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan or even higher, depending on factors such as type, specifications, configuration, and degree of newness. Here are the price ranges for some common types of housing containers:

New Housing Containers

• Simple Type: Simple housing containers with basic functions, such as basic living or office functions and relatively simple configurations, may range in price from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. For example, the double-decker container mobile house from Zhejiang Hangxing Green Building Materials Technology Co., Ltd. is priced at 280 yuan per square meter; the container mobile office from Foshan Jingyi Trading Co., Ltd. starts at 147.25 yuan.
• Customized Type: Customized housing containers with better thermal insulation, sound insulation, and decoration performance, and possibly equipped with more complete facilities such as double-glazed windows, anti-slip floors, LED lighting, and pre-embedded circuit interfaces, will be relatively more expensive, typically in the range of 5,000 - 12,000 yuan. For example, the customized residential container mobile house in Yuhang, Hangzhou, includes multiple configurations for 5,800 yuan.
• High-end Modular Type: Modular container houses with large capacity, expandability, modern design style, and high-end configurations may cost tens of thousands of yuan or even more. For example, the large-capacity glass container house from Suzhou Zezhongtai Integrated Housing Technology Co., Ltd. is priced at 11,447.80 - 12,794.60 yuan per set; the low-cost modern earthquake-resistant residential prefabricated bathroom modular apartment prefabricated container expandable house from Hebei Trusen Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. is priced at 36,363.60 - 39,057.20 yuan per set.

Second-hand Housing Containers

• Basic Refurbished Type: The price of a basic refurbished 6-meter second-hand container for residential use in 2026 (rust removal and painting + old floor + simple electrical and water repairs) is within 10,000 yuan.
• High-quality Refurbished Type: The price of a high-quality refurbished residential container (new rock wool + Class A fire resistance + new electrical circuits + PVC floor + hollow windows) requires face-to-face negotiation and is usually higher than that of the basic refurbished type.
• Special Discounted Type for Construction Sites: The price of special discounted containers for construction sites is within 3,000 yuan, but the quality varies, and freight and hoisting costs need to be paid by the buyer.
