3 Benefits of the Manufactured Home Over the Traditional Home

A manufactured home is an option often overlooked by those seeking to purchase or build their own home. The traditional home may be the idealized standard set by those looking to out-do friends, family, and neighbors, but sometimes the out-doing can be achieved by different means. A manufactured home does, in fact, offer a variety of advantages over the traditional, site-built home; what's more is the manufactured home actually often lacks the adverse qualities that stigmatize its name.

• Price – The number one advantage, and probably the most heavily weighted in the minds of home buyers, is the lower price offered in manufactured homes. Building a manufactured home can come with a price-tag of 10%-35% less per square foot than the traditional home. For many, this first advantage is paramount and in and of itself enough to change the line of thinking.
• Time – A manufactured home can be completed, on average, about three times faster than a home constructed on-site in the traditional manner. For those in need of a speedy process (or who are simply impatient) the shorter amount of time between buying and moving in can be a deciding factor in whether to buy a manufactured home or build a home on site.
• Options in Design – Admittedly, this is not so much an advantage offered by the manufactured home as it is a lack of a disadvantage. Manufactured homes, though constructed prior to transportation to that site and installation there, actually do offer the possibility of customization; this flexibility is even truer when it comes to double- and triple-wide homes, which can be joined and arranged in varying layouts. If you're thinking of a buying a manufactured home, ask the builder with whom you are dealing for options available to you.
