How Homebuying Has Changed in 2025
Americans have become accustomed to shopping online for household goods, clothing and even cars, which is seen in the 42% growth of e-commerce over the last five years. Many consumers have grown to enjoy the convenience of browsing and buying online, and now, HomeQuest has made the homebuying process easier than ever with its robust website where hundreds of floorplans and photos can be perused.
One of the leading manufactured home retailers on the west coast, HomeQuest partners with top manufacturers to help homebuyers build their perfect home at a competitive cost, saving them thousands off the Manufactured Suggested Retail Price. The website currently features an array of sizes and floorplans from tiny homes to small guest units, and larger manufactured homes by respected builders Champion, Fleetwood, Silvercrest, Redman Homes, and Clayton.
This wide variety of homes, coupled with the growing popularity of manufactured housing for its affordability and low-maintenance lifestyle, has helped drive interest in home buyers turning to HomeQuest for help in configuring and custom building their ideal manufactured home.
“Our new homes sales were up 11% in 2024, and that comes on the heels of sales nearly doubling the year prior,” said Shane Joffe, partner and sales and marketing manager of HomeQuest. “We are very busy and anticipate another successful year, as we place new homes in older communities and work with development partners on brand new manufactured home communities.”
HomeQuest’s website allows filtered searches by price range, size, and other specs, while viewing floorplans, images, and even virtual model home tours and selecting features such as upgraded appliances, finishes, and other interior design options… all from the convenience of your home computer.
“We have simplified the manufactured homebuying process, while offering an unprecedented number of options at every size and price point, so there is something for everyone,” explained Joffe. “In a tight and competitive homebuying market, we have made homebuying easier than ever.”
