While inflation has come down over last year, it is still higher than the U.S. average, meaning many people are cutting back expenses and looking to increase their purchasing power however possible. A home is the biggest purchase people will make in their lifetime and manufactured housing is becoming more popular than ever due to its affordability.

Home shoppers who are likely renting and paying record rents are increasingly finding it difficult to save for a down payment on a traditional home. Manufactured housing is a great alternative to traditional homes because they are a fraction of the cost, and many offer the same design features and on-trend floor plans as site-built homes.

No longer the mobile homes of decades past, today’s manufactured homes feature high-quality construction, along with the amenities and finishes desired by homebuyers. It isn’t unusual to see a newly manufactured home with a farmhouse sink, stone countertops, barn doors, open floor plans with plenty of windows to let in natural light, and more. Many homes even offer the option of porches and attached garages.

From enjoying a relaxing, low-maintenance lifestyle, to building home equity faster because they are getting into homeownership, home buyers of manufactured homes are realizing there are many benefits of purchasing a manufactured home.

In addition, knowing consumers prefer shopping online, HomeQuest has made home shopping easier than ever with its user-friendly website and customer relations specialists who are ready to help with any questions.
