Many of our customers come to us to help build and customize modular homes for their new plot of our land. However, another way to get a newly built modular home is to view our pre-existing models! The move-in ready homes are new construction homes that are complete or near completion, which makes them ready to be bought and moved in. This is a very beneficial sale; all the utilities are in place, all that needs are for a home site to be selected and our model to be bought!

 

Benefits of a Move-in Ready Home:

However, if time is of the essence, buying a move-in ready home is the perfect option!

 

Complexity. The process of building a new home can be a little bit more of a complex process. As a homeowner, you are responsible for choosing each in-home customization, which can be fun but also time consuming.

Cost-effectiveness. Customizing everything in your home, although it is fun, can cost more than purchasing a move-in ready home. Not too much of a difference, since our models are relatively affordable, but every penny counts!

What is a manufactured home to begin with? A manufactured home is a factory-built home that meets performance standards or the HUD code (local building codes), requires a chassis, and rarely moved once placed.

Manufactured homes are built in a controlled environment by skilled tradesmen, which means the home is protected from weather damage and theft. Weather also does not interfere with the construction schedules. These factors contribute to lower prices, making manufactured homes a more affordable choice than traditional homes.

 

Safety is guaranteed. Manufactured homes are continuously being inspected while in the progress of a being built. There are also federal laws that require additional safety features (smoke detectors, combustible materials found around heating spaces, etc.).

 

Speed of construction. Factories can build single-wide or double-wide manufactured homes in about one third of the time it takes to construct a traditional home. All the while still meeting building codes.

 

Super energy efficient. The newer manufactured homes meet performance standards and must pass the requirements for energy efficiency. Most companies, especially the ones we carry on our lot, outfit manufactured homes with ENERGY STAR. The Enviromental Protection Agency started ENERGY STAR in 1992, in efforts to promote energy conservation.
