Today’s Modular Is Not Yesterday’s Cardboard?

Answer 1

If you’re looking for a nice, new home you may want to consider a modular home. Once considered a cardboard cutout, today’s modular home is instead a viable option for purchasing a new home that is well made and well priced.

There are several advantages to investing in a modular home when compared to buying a used home or a custom built home.

Obviously, cost will be a great factor. And when you consider that modular homes are usually around 30% off of prices for comparably sized and located houses, this factor can add up rather quickly on the importance checklist.

Another factor is time. Have land and want a house on it? Modular homes go up much more quickly that traditionally built homes.

For the price you can buy a used home of comparable value (or less), you can purchase a brand new, yours only modular home.

Still, these factors seems to leave concerns in the minds of many. Some may be concerned that the value will go down simply because everyone will recognize the house as a modular, and the stigma that was once attached to modular homes will automatically bring the value down. Buyers will be relieved to know that it is simply not the case anymore; there are so many designs to choose from that it’s almost like picking out a floorplan and having a contractor build it for you...only for a lower price and less time.

What about structural issues? These too are misconceptions from a bygone era. Modular homes are now just as structurally sound (if not more--since these stand the test of many houses) as a traditionally built home. Additionally, most modular homes are more energy-efficient than a traditionally built home.

Modular homes are an affordable way to own the home you’ve dreamed of for years. They often included spacious rooms and luxurious master bathrooms. If owning a nice home for your family is important to you, then consider investing in a modular home. Chances are, you won’t be disappointed!
