Advantages of Manufactured Housing
Cost:
"Depending on the purchaser's area of the country, according to the MHI, "construction cost
per square foot for a new manufactured home averages anywhere from 10 percent to 35
percent less than a comparable site built home, excluding the cost of land." This lower cost
can mean a smaller mortgage (and lower payments) for the purchaser or, perhaps, more
house or amenities for the same price as traditional construction. Many factors contribute to
the price of manufactured homes including, as one would suspect, features, floor plans, and
details. In general, "the sales price for a new manufactured home ranges from under $30,000
for a single-section home with basic features to prices in excess of $100,000 for a deluxe
multisection home." In some areas of the country, manufactured housing provides a viable,
affordable housing alternative for many people.
Why does manufactured housing cost less? Producers of manufactured housing can take
advantage of economies of scale when purchasing construction materials and equipment
and when hiring laborers. Additionally, since manufactured housing is built in a factory,
weather delays are usually only a factor for the brief on site work period so there are fewer
lost building days. Building supply inventory can be better protected from weather and theft
in a factory than on a building site.
Faster to Construct:
It takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks from the time a purchaser says "I want that one" to the
time the house is on site and ready for move in. Depending on the season and the area of
the country, a manufactured home can be ready for occupancy much quicker than a site built
house."

Facts About Modular and Manufactured Homes
When you are buying a home, you might hear the terms modular homes
and manufactured homes. It's important to understand how they all differ,
not matter whether you are purchasing an existing house or plan to build
on land that is subject to restrictions. The differences can affect a home's
price and it's resale value, and even dictate whether or not it can be built
on your land.

What Are Modular Homes?
- Modular Homes are built in sections at a factory.
- Modular Homes are built to conform to all state, local or regional
building codes at their destinations. - Sections are transported to the building site on truck beds, then
joined together by local contractors. - Modular homes are sometimes less expensive per square foot than
site built houses. - A well-built modular home should have the same longevity as its site-
built counterpart, increasing in value over time.
What Are Manufactured Homes?
- Formerly referred to as mobile homes or trailer house, but with
many more style options than in the past. - Manufactured houses are built in a factory.
- They conform to a Federal building code, called the HUD code,
rather than to building codes at their destinations. - Manufactured homes are built on a non-removable steel chassis.
- Manufactured housing is generally less expensive than site built
and modular homes.
