When the time comes to consider having a home of your own rather than spending all your money on rent, a good option to consider is buying a modular home. This can be the perfect choice, whether a first home or even later on in life. There are a number of reasons to buy a modular home, including:

1. Initial Cost Savings– A modular home costs 60% to 70% of the amount it costs to build a conventional home.
2. Time Savings– From the time the order is placed until a modular home is ready to move in averages just one to three months. A conventional home can take anywhere from six months to more than a year to build.
3. Quality– A modular home is built to the same code requirements as a conventional home, and in many cases, they are even better because the components have to withstand being moved down the highway to be delivered and put into place.
4. Construction Advantages– A modular home is built indoors in large buildings, and then each component is thoroughly sealed before transport. This means no part of the construction of a modular home is subjected to the weather. This is obviously not the case with conventional home building.
5. Energy Efficiency– A modular home is often built to higher standards in energy efficiency than other homes.
6. Ongoing Savings– The lower initial cost and energy efficiency of a modular home results in continuous savings with lower mortgage payments and lower utility bills.
7. Beauty – Once a modular home is completely installed, there is literally no way to tell it wasn’t built just like a standard home.  There are a number of home designs to choose from to suit your preferences, as well.
8. Flexibility – You don’t lose out on flexibility by going with a modular home. When you are going through the ordering process, you can add options that are important to you, such as extra outlets or upgraded flooring.
9. Customizable – A modular home is more customizable than a mobile home or even a manufactured home. There are often hundreds of floor plans to choose from.
