“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” – Edith Stillwell
The holiday season is the time of year when many families began to contemplate the possibilities of becoming first-time homebuyers in the new year. Unfortunately, there are those that will once again conclude that purchasing a home is only a “pipe dream” that most likely cannot be realized. The shortage of affordable real estate, as well as economic and financing matters, have all but eliminated the possibility of homeownership, in the traditional sense, for hardworking low and middle-income citizens across America. However, a realistic pathway to homeownership in 2020 may actually exist — but perhaps has not been previously considered.

Yes, there is a home that will allow your family to achieve the uniquely American dream of owning an affordable, high-quality custom built home that checks all the boxes of everything a home should be. That dream home is built in a factory and is equal or superior, in every respect, to a custom home built on-site — at a price up to 50% less than a new traditional site-built home. That home is a new modern, high quality, affordable manufactured home.
Unfortunately, there are many aspiring first-time homebuyers that associate a manufactured home and “mobile home” as being one-in the-same, a result of preconceived notions, stigmas, and prevailing myths that a “mobile home” will not meet their vision of what they would expect in a “real home.”
Those myths and characterizations have long been debunked. Legally and actually there have been no mobile homes produced in over four decades, with congressional passage of the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, effective for homes produced after June 15, 1976.
In addition to the federally mandated strict construction, safety and health standards that equal and often exceed traditional site-built homes, manufactured homes offer a wide choice of outstanding amenities and features as well as customization options to satisfy the particular needs and desires of the home purchaser.

Final Note:
“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.Discover.” – Mark Twain
