WILL MY MANUFACTURED HOME ON LAND OR IN A PARK DEPRECIATE?

In general , manufactured homes will appreciate at the same market rate as other homes in the same neighborhood, but, as with all housing, it is subject to the same market factors that affect appreciation, including:

• The housing market itself - are homes in general increasing in cost?

• The community in which the home is located – is it a rising or declining neighborhood?

• The initial price paid for the home - some price ranges are more sought after. 

• The age and how the home has been maintained. 

• The inflation rate experienced.

ARE MANUFACTURED HOMES BUILT AS WELL AS SITE BUILT?

Homes built using quality materials and construction methods weather the years better.

Building materials found in manufactured housing are equal to that used in site-built construction. Unlike on-site construction, the lumber, insulation, siding and other materials used to build manufactured homes are never exposed to and potentially damaged by rain or other moisture.   Manufactured homes must satisfy a stringent federal building code. These standards cover structural design, construction, fire safety, energy efficiency and performance of heating, plumbing, air conditioning, thermal and electrical systems. Regional differences are taken into account for such considerations as snow load, wind tolerance and insulation.  The result is a home of great structural integrity and durability.
