From factory floor to front door It’s not surprising that homebuyers’ eyes are turning to whatever they can get in these days of high housing prices and unforgiving interest rates. That includes prefabricated homes—also known as modular and manufactured homes. Realtor.com’s Lisa Marie Conklin clarifies how prefab houses are not only football fields less expensive than your typical home—they’re often just as beautiful, with today’s new offerings often being easily mistaken for a traditionally built home. She explains how buying land to put a prefab home on is part of the adventure. “Do you want to live on 40 lush acres in Stockton, MO? A desert oasis in Joshua Tree, CA? Or how about an off-grid lot in Grants Pass, OR? The possibilities are endless,” she says. Prefabricated homes are much more than the sum of its parts, being constructed via an assembly line production in sections inside a factory and then assembled on-site. “Modular homes are constructed to the same standards as conventionally built homes and must meet regional building codes,” says Conklin, adding how homebuyers can choose from one- or two-story homes in a wide variety of floor plans and architectural styles. Manufactured homes, a variety of prefab homes, don't need to comply with local building codes but must adhere to the strict federal building codes set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. While they aren't as customizable as modular homes, they offer several different floor plans and add-ons. All those tiny homes? Prefab structures that are built in factories and then assembled on site. ADUs (accessory dwelling units) are a popular version of them and they are catching fire all over the U.S. You can even buy them on Amazon. Reach out for more!
