Reasons to buy a mobile home

Posted by admin | Real Estate | Friday 3 July 2009 8:06 PM

Manufactured Homes are constructed inside a factory that allows for better control of building, financing costs as well as the quality and performance of the products inside the home. All Homes must meet or exceed strict federal standards set to the National Home Construction and Safety Standards, also known as the HUD Code.

There are  many advantages of Mobile Homes.

Cheaper

One of the biggest advantages is cost—manufactured and modular homes typically cost less than stick-built homes. The sales price for a new manufactured home ranges from under $25,000 for a single-section home with basic features to prices in excess of $100,000 for a deluxe multisection home. Depending on the region of the country, construction cost per square foot for a new manufactured home averages anywhere from 10 to 35 percent less than a comparable site-built home, excluding the cost of land.

Quality Control

Another advantage is quality control. Because 70 to 90 percent of the home is completed in a factory, a manufactured home is built under controlled conditions and strict quality control standards.

Speed

Speed of construction is also a factor. Factory-built homes can be erected onsite in 1-2 days, as opposed to 3-6 months for a site-built home.
