Fiction: Modular homes can be bought for a fraction of the price of a site built home.

Fact: A Modular home is a good value,
but you should not expect an unrealistic discount to other types of building. When you purchase your new modular home you are choosing unmatchable quality and speedy completion. If a modest savings accompanies those features you win in every way. As in any business you will find as many pricing policies as you will builder/dealers. BE ALERT. Sometimes there are genuinely good buys, but watch out if it sounds too good to be true.

Fiction: Small affordable modular homes are the best buy.

Fact: Small modular homes are a great value.
They are priced competitively and are far superior in quality than site built counterparts. However, the larger the home the the greater gain in cost efficiency. Most of the savings on a modular home is on materials bought in large quantities, and extremely efficient use of labor. So the simple conclusion: the bigger the house, the more materials and labor, the greater the savings. A large Custom home is a great value for this reason, but this does not mean everyone wants, needs or can afford a large Custom home, but you would be surprised at how many can!

Fiction: Modular Homes are difficult or expensive to finance (This is way off the mark!!!)

Fact: The modular home is easily financed.
A bank is assured strong resale value due to quality and the home is 70-80% complete after the set is complete. This gives them great satisfaction to know that the mystery builder concept will not occur, and leave them out in the "weather" along with the house half finished and mostly financed.
