4 Reasons to Buy a Manufactured House

Hello Mass Elite Househunters,

4 reasons to buy a manufactured home

  1. They're usually cheaper to buy than standard-built homes. Data from the Manufactured Housing Institute shows the price of a site-built home is about US $352K/
    CA $478K, while the average price for a manufactured home is US $107K/CA $145K. If you're not building, then buying an existing manufactured home in a park or on owned land is even cheaper.
  2. Newer manufactured homes are often built to high safety and energy-efficiency standards and are better

for the environment. They also are constructed to have better soundproofing between rooms than basic standard-built homes. In other words, today’s manufactured homes are well-built.

  1. If you're buying land and installing a home, then a manufactured home can be placed and finished in months or even weeks, compared to 6 months or more for a standard-built home.
  2. They can be remodeled, just like traditional-built homes, depending on the building codes of the area.

All the best, Shawna
