Modular Homes, Custom Built To Your Specifications, For Less

In 2004, there were over 200,000 new modular homes sold in the U.S. Nearly eight percent of America 's single family homeowners have chosen a modular home over a site-built home. This statistic is spread out evenly across all age groups, indicating that no one type of person chooses a modular home instead of another housing type.

Modular homes deliver cost savings , ease of construction, and strong resale values to consumers all across the country.

Did you know that you can live in a modular home that has a fireplace, Jacuzzi tub and even vaulted ceilings?

Modular housing styles are changing to meet the increasing demand for comfortable, affordable homes, and that change is bringing increased homebuyer satisfaction along with it. According to a recent independent study, over 88% of modular home buyers were happy with their investment.

And, keep in mind that buying a home is truly an investment . For most consumers, their home is the single largest investment they will ever make. That's why it is so critical to be sure that the home you are getting will appreciate in value over the years.

The distinction between a modular home and a manufactured home is an important one to understand. Modular homes are built to local building codes, and will appreciate in value the same as a site-built home. On the other hand, a manufactured home will not see as much appreciation over time. Manufactured homes are technically mobile homes. They must be built on steel chassis and must be mobile.

If you are looking at your new home as an investment that will bring a financial return, a manufactured home is not an option. At the same time, a modular home is a solid option, that will often deliver a greater financial return than a site built home because of lower cost of ownership to the first owner (the consumer for whom the home was built) combined with equivalent appreciation and resale values.

When shopping for your new home, make sure you understand the difference and make sure you invest in a home that will appreciate and be a source of financial wealth and growth for your future .

With a savings of 10-35% in building a modular home rather than a site-built home, and equivalent appreciation and resale values, you can easily see how this option is empowering many to secure a home affordably and wisely
