Manufactured Home Advantages Vs. Site-Built
Potential home buyers find it difficult to purchase a site-built home that meets their expectations at a price they can afford. Many are pleasantly surprised when they become aware of today’s modern manufactured homes that meet all of those expectations and wants at affordable prices.
Why buy an existing home when you can get everything you want in a brand new, state-of-the- art manufactured home? While many people consider building from the ground up, they are often deterred by the prospect of time it will take, potential cost overruns, dealing with contractors and subcontractors and the general headache involved in a traditional site-built home.
Buying a manufactured home has become the wave of the future. Built in climate-controlled factories, manufactured homes are delivered on time. Very seldom does poor weather set back construction time tables. Building materials are housed indoors, so there is no loss due to such issues as weather, theft or vandalism that exist on traditional construction sites.
Cost are very much in check. Because manufactured home companies order their supplies in bulk, they are able to pass those savings on to the buyer. The result is a high quality product at very affordable rates.
The following are a few of the many advantages of manufactured homes versus site-built:
- A new manufactured home will have a price about 50% less than a typical site-built home, equal and often superior in quality of construction, appearance, and amenities.
- Manufactured homes built and warranted in accordance with federal HUD Code requirements. (Not available with a site-built home) that includes health, safety, energy efficiency, and durability.
- A new manufactured home will be built to include all the expectations and more of a site-built home, including exterior design that will blend seamlessly within any neighborhood.
- Materials and fixtures will be the same as new site-built homes and will be equal or superior in energy efficiency.
Manufactured homes can open the door to quality homeownership for millions of families; they can appreciate value and be an effective long-term affordable solution for families and communities across the country.
