Would like to purchase a modular home. Are there any modular homes that have been foreclosed on?

We have our property, but need a modlar home to put on it. We heard about the foreclosure buyers market and wanted to know how to go about getting a list of modular homes that might have been foreclosed on.Unfortunately, Modular homes are not designed to be moved. They are essentially stick built homes made in sections in a factory. The sections are assembled on site in such a way that it would be very costly to break the sections down to move them and then reassemble. It is possible to move some homes (even stick built), but it is usually very costly to do so. Mobile homes are a different story, and would be easier to relocate, but I dont think that is what you are looking for. My advice would be to contact some Modular builders to see if they have options within your budget. powered by Yahoo Answers addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.livinghomes.us%2Fmodular-homes%2Fwould-like-to-purchase-a-modular-home-are-there-any-modular-homes-that-have-been-foreclosed-on'; addthis_title = 'Would+like+to+purchase+a+modular+home.+Are+there+any+modular+homes+that+have+been+foreclosed+on%3F'; addthis_pub = '';

Do modular homes depreciate in value after bought new?
posted by admin in January 8th, 2009
in modular homes
I am aware that modular homes are basically regular stick built homes (just that they are built inside so that they are built better and faster than regular outdoor construction) built in a few sections and then assembled in a few days. The only thing is that I've heard that modular's will depreciate in value. This doesn't appear to be true, because its just like a regular house after its built and you can't tell the difference. It seems like alot of people are confusing the "modulars" with those "manufactured" low grade double wide homes.Does this misconception about the differences really make the modular homes depreciate?Whenever you go to sell it, do you just not tell people that they are modular since they are pretty much a regular house?Well, I differ in the opinion that a modular home is just a stick built home, built off-site…. In my opinion… and Ive worked on a LOT of them over the years… a true modular home is BETTER than site built. First off — its built to higher building standards than most local ordinancesA modular home is built stronger. While many new homes are built with truss systems, most older homes are not. ALL modular homes are built with truss systems… the roof loads have been calculated, and built appropriately. An Engineer has had to certify the plans. Modular homes have the advantage of volume purchasing power. A modular manufacturer buys direct from the appliance manufacturer. Site built homes… they go to the local store, which costs you more. Modular homes will not depreciate in value any more than the 'site built' homes in the same area will. Most often, they increase in value, along with their neighbors.Yes…. A lot of people confuse "modular", and "manufactured". They are both built inside a factory building… but they are built differently, with different standards, and different quality parts.But, even farther than that…. is the difference between manufactured homes…. you can get a 'box on wheels', or you can get a truly high quality home. And it doesnt matter, if its 'single', 'double', 'triple' - wide, or something else."Trailers" depreciate. Most inferior quality homes depreciated before they rolled off the dealerships lot. Unfortunately… it is THESE homes that have given the industry its 'black eye', so to speak. Also unfortunately, MOST consumers CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE between a high quality home, and a cheap 'box'. They don't know what to look for.It's my habit, when traveling, to stop by a dealership, when I am working on homes in their area. One time, I walked into a dealer's office, and I could hear the broker with a customer back in their office. The customer was getting a bit irate, because they did not understand why "the same home" at this dealership, was $4,000.00 higher, than at one of those 'box' sales lots. So, I wandered around the corner, and stuck my head in the door, and said Hi…. explained who I was, and offered to explain the sales brochure for the customer. (The home he was looking at on this lot, was NOT made by the same manufacturer, that I was contracting with….what I am pointing out here, is that I had nothing to gain by pointing out the differences in the homes).I asked to see his sales brochure from the 'box' lot…. and I began to laugh…. because it was that manufacturer that uses statements like "All load bearing walls…are made of 2×4 construction". I pointed this out…. Then I explained, the ONLY load bearing walls in a mobile home, are the EXTERIOR walls. The home he was looking at with this dealership, was made with 2×6 walls….and 2×4 interior walls.The 'box' home had 15 year shingles… this one had 25 year shingles.The 'box' home had 32 mil siding….this one had 40 mil (thicker vinyl siding… stronger, less brittle, and longer warranty)The 'box' home had HVAC vents down the middle of the home….this home had vents placed at the walls. (Costs more to build this way… but… it produces less noise when in use, and you arent as likely to cut your foot open on a vent, it also had a better furnace and air conditioner)All told…. the 'box' home was charging an extremely high price for what he was getting…. but the customer didnt understand that.One of the best things we can do for the whole industry, is educate educate educate. The more people know, the better consumers we will be… the better a consumer we are, the better a manufacturer has to make his product.One of the FIRST things I ask someone, when they tell me they just bought a manufactured home, is who made it? (not how much did it cost you?) Just because a 'manufactured' home is a doublewide, does not mean its a low grade home. WHO made it, will often indicate the quality of the home. Some companies build better homes, there's just no getting around that.Have Fun! powered by Yahoo Answers addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.livinghomes.us%2Fmodular-homes%2Fdo-modular-homes-depreciate-in-value-after-bought-new'; addthis_title = 'Do+modular+homes+depreciate+in+value+after+bought+new%3F'; addthis_pub = '';
