It’s May, and you know what that means! Moving season is upon us! May sees home sales really start to pick up after the slower home sales we usually see in the winter and sales tend to continue to increase through the summer.
Spring Fever: The Driving Forces Behind May’s Home Buying Rush
For some buyers it may be that Spring spirit of renewal motivating them to settle somewhere new. Perhaps they want to be closer to a job, are tired of living in an apartment, want to move into a bigger home for an expanding family, or want to move into a smaller home after adult children have moved on to places of their own. Other buyers start looking in earnest in May in the hopes that they can be all moved in before a new school year starts.
Rising Home Prices Got You Worried? Discover Your Affordable Housing Solution!
Something just about every buyer has in common? Rising home prices and the fear, or reality, of being priced out of the market when it comes to buying a single family home.
Manufactured Homes: The Hidden Gem in Today’s Competitive Housing Market
Buyers who have done their homework, however, know that there is another option for those who want to own their own home but can’t, or simply don’t want to, fork over the price of a traditional single family home. And that option is manufactured housing.
From Amenities to Flexibility: Why Manufactured Homes Are Winning Hearts
Not only is manufactured housing less expensive, but manufactured homes have perks and advantages that traditional single family homes don’t.
One such advantage is that many manufactured home parks offer residents a variety of amenities. Have kids? You can find community playgrounds. Live an active lifestyle? Then living in a park with a swimming pool, tennis courts, or a fitness center might be valuable to you. Like to socialize? Find a park with a community building that holds neighborhood gatherings and can be rented for private parties. Prefer peace and quiet? Seek out a park with plenty of green space, walking trails, and a water feature like a pond where you can sit and relax on a park bench. Communities for residents aged 55 and older have amenities tailored to seniors.
Safety, Security, and Serenity: The Perks of Manufactured Home Living
Of interest to nearly all manufactured home park residents is safety and security. Many parks have access control systems where residents can enter with a key code or a cell phone app and where visitors must be granted access by a resident. Security cameras, bright safety lighting, speed bumps, and front gate guard shacks are other popular security features.
Convenience at Your Doorstep: The All-Inclusive Lifestyle of Manufactured Home Communities
There are also communities that offer grass cutting, snow removal, and 24/7 maintenance, which provides not only convenience, but an extra piece of mind for residents.
Mobility Matters: The Freedom of Taking Your Home Wherever Life Takes You
Another advantage of a manufactured home is that you can take it with you. If you decide you want to retire on a piece of land up north, you can transport your home to the new site. Now, is it possible to move a traditional site-built home? Yes. But it is significantly and prohibitively expensive – $100,000 or more – which is why most people do not attempt it. Moving a manufactured home, however, is a much easier process as the home is designed to be able to be moved if needed or desired. Manufactured homes provide a level of flexibility that site-built homes cannot match.
Manufactured Homes: Your Affordable Path to Homeownership and Freedom!
So if you’re looking to buy a place of your own, don’t overlook manufactured homes. Not only are they affordable, but they have attractive qualities like a variety of amenities and the freedom and flexibility of moving your home that traditional site-built homes just can’t match.
