Pros and cons of manufactured homes

Manufactured homes are gaining momentum, thanks in large part to their affordability and increasingly customized floor plans. Still, they may not be right for every home buyer.

The advantages

• Affordability: Manufactured homes cost at least half the price of comparable traditional new homes.

• Speed: Manufactured homes take less time to construct.

• Easy to maintain: The standardized parts can often be quickly replaced. The home is under a manufacturer-offered warranty.

The drawbacks

• Less equity: Manufactured homes are more likely to depreciate over time than a traditional build. They may not be great for buyers who want to move in a few years.

• Financing: You will find fewer loan options for most manufactured homes.

• Cookie cutter: While design options do exist, manufactured homes are harder to personalize — or update later on. And while model homes may be available for viewing, you won’t see your actual home until it arrives.

• Limited: Manufactured homes aren’t available everywhere. Some localities restrict where they can be located, too.
