Just as important as knowing how to buy a mobile home correctly, is knowing how to sell one. There is indeed an art to maximizing value and minimizing time spent on the market. A little time and cost on the front end will yield big dividends in terms of the money you will realize upon sale.

A common issue with any mobile home buyer is “should I buy new or used mobile home?” There is no right or wrong answer. However, it is important that you know the facts, so that you can make an educated decision that is the right one for you and your family.

There are many reasons to buy a manufactured home, but here are the Top 10 of those reasons. As you can see, a manufactured home makes a smart choice in today’s market.

There is no better feeling than finding a good deal on a used manufactured home. You can save thousands of dollars, and often buy more home for your money than you were expecting. But to come away from purchasing a used home with a smile, it is important that you know what differentiates a “good” deal from a “bad” deal.

You can read all the books that you can find on negotiating at your local book store – and you’ll find that none of those work in the real world. Negotiating the purchase of a manufactured home requires some special preparation, and the end result of that advance work is what will allow you to get the price you want.

So you’re looking for a used mobile home or a new mobile home. You want a real deal – one that is a great home at a low price. So how do you find that deal? There are several options. But, by far, the best method is shopping on your computer.

There are over 60,000,000 Americans with household incomes under $20,000 per year. To this giant market, a mobile home is the only form of detached housing that they will ever be able to afford. And, as a result, the demand for mobile homes has never been higher.

Manufactured homes have come a long way since the 1950’s. The modern manufactured home has larger rooms, better flow and higher ceilings than anything you have ever seen before. And the exteriors are more attractive than ever before, with even the option of vinyl siding and shingled roofs.

Equally as important as drainage is soil compaction. If new dirt has been brought in to solve the drainage issue, it must be compacted before the home is delivered. Soft, loose soil will cause a huge problem with leveling of the home.

ESSENTIAL HOME INSTALLATION: Probably the most important part of the move, assuming your home makes it there in one piece, is the installation. Good installation will assure you a lifetime (if you never move again) of proper usage. Bad installation will cost you a fortune in repairs and maybe even destroy your home over the long-term.
