WOW, That doesn't even look like a trailer; That's because it's not!

The most common thing I hear from a customer is; That does doesn't even look like a trailer, or mobile home. That's because most people who have not been in one in many years, either remembers the old trailers of the 70's or 80's or was told by someone that remembers the old ones, that they are cheap. That person is just misinformed of what factory built homes are like now, and is lucky to now see the home as they are built today.

Factory built homes are now either built to HUD or IRC Modular codes and standards. These standards are at or better than most site built homes. Most track built homes today have 2x4 exterior walls, which is a minimum standard for a factory (manufactured) built home. Many factory built homes are now built standard with 2x6 exterior studs and R-19 wall insulation. The interior walls can be optioned with 2x4 interior too, but many also came standard that way too! Of course windows are at a minimum built with a storm window too, but most homes today come with thermal windows or LowE "Energy Star' rated thermal windows (like by #CroftWindows ).

Imagine what it takes to not only build a house to these high code standards and be able to withstand moving it to a location. The quality construction they now have is incredible. However, it does depend on what optional finish out a home has in it, and that is what makes the WOW Factor! There are many builders doing quality factory built homes. There is #SeHomes , #DeerValleyHomes , #FranklinHomesUSA , #FleetwoodHomes , #Cavco , and numerous high end IRC Modular builders too like #Bluhomes , or others!

Factory built homes can be Single-Wide (16x80) or the now the very poplular Super-Wide (18x80), but many buyers are now doing Double and Triple-Wide homes! When doing a modular home, buyers are going mini or extreme triple.

Many of the buyers are looking for options that allow them to now have high end finish out, quick construction time, fixed building costs, at a much lower price per sq. ft. than traditional stick built homes on your lot. There is also the Eco part of the equation too. Factory built homes are traditionally considered GREEN by a less than 3-5% waste factor, energy efficient and many even certified as #Energystarhomes rated!

The buyer picks their colors, material types like cabinets, flooring, fixture quality, counters, and other options, and even the exterior wall type like #Smartboard #Hardiboard (concrete composite), or vinyl with OSB underlayment.

So, this ain't no trailer, it's a HUD or IRC rated factory built/manufactured home!

Came back in and look for the first time. You will be so happy you did.
