Anyone have an opinion of the quality and durability of a home that is
built in a factory & delivered to your vacant lot versus a 100% on site, stick built, traditional home? I purchased a vacant lot and was shopping around the different builders in the area, when I happened to walk into a manufactured model of a home. I must say that I was very impressed with the exterior and interior of the factory built home. This was a Cape Cod style. I guess I had always assumed that manufactured homes looked more like 1 or 2 trailers next to one another - not a lot of style or eye appeal. But that was not the case. The Cape Code was about 2100 square feet and was on sale from $130,000 to an unbeleivably low price of $110,000. I was with my father who is a craftsman with an eye for quality, and he was equally impressed (he had never walked thru a factory built home either). He practically wanted to buy this after looking through it for a couple hours. Am I wrong to think a manufactured home will measure up against a site built home both in curb appeal and durability? I had planned to sell this home soon after it was completed - do buyers typically have a negative opinion of manufactured homes? Or if it looks nice enough and quality was put into the house, then is it a non-factor? Final question: does a seller need to disclose to a buyer that a home is factory built or stick built? Thanks for the information. |
