What Are The Best Modular Homes To Buy?

There is no “best modular home to buy” in the most typical sense of the word. What would be great for one family might be too petite or too traditional for another. However, there are some things you should keep in mind when looking for a modular home to buy:

· Building Codes: You should not buy a modular home that wouldn’t be up to code in the area you want to live in. When in doubt, check zoning boards before you put down the cash for a modular home. 

· Quality: It’s better to pay extra for a high-quality house made from a reputable manufacturer than it is to try to save a couple bucks. Good modular home manufacturers will have sterling reputations, warranties on their hardware, and excellent customer service. Bad ones? Well, they’ll be shady about almost every aspect of their work.

· Curb Appeal: Like with all other homes, your modular home’s curb appeal will be a major deciding factor in your home’s future purchase price. If you want to make the most of your investment, get a pretty house.

· Avoid Mobile Homes: In a lot of areas, mobile homes and modular homes are considered to be interchangeable. They’re not! Mobile homes are “trailer” homes that can be picked up and transported from lot to lot. They are not investment pieces in most cases.

Are Modular Homes Cheaper Than Buying A House?

Though modular homes are affordable compared to building a house the traditional way, they are still pricier than buying your own home most of the time. So, if you are looking for a way to be the first one to live in a home on the cheap, this is a good option. Otherwise, buying is a better option. 

Are Modular Homes A Good Investment?

Yes, modular homes are often a very good investment! Unlike mobile homes, which tend to depreciate with time, modular homes hold their value or even increase with time. In many cases, the resale value of modular homes will be higher than the initial purchase price. As a result, buying a modular house can be a smart way to get more bang out of your proverbial investment buck. 

How Long Do Modular Homes Last?

Modular homes can last just as long as a standard home assuming they are well-made. Most modular homes are made of the same high-quality materials you'll find in new construction homes, so they can easily last for decades as long as they are well-maintained.
