Modular Home Websites

[Ryan]

DH and I are currently trying to buy land and we are going to put up a modular home. We love the "New England" look and I have been searching for all kinds of modular home websites. So I thought I would start a thread with some of the websites I have found (which is not alot) ... and if any of you have found really good websites.... thought we could make a "MODULAR HOME WEBSITE" thread...

I don't know where you are, but here's one out of Nebraska (serves the Midwest, primarily): Homestead Homes (http://www.hhoa.net). We are thinking of using them, if we can afford it. They have nice layouts.

Off to check out your links....haven't seen most of those before! :)

ETA - wow, yours are really cool. The houses on the one I posted aren't really colonial, but you never know, right?

Modular Home Manufacturers

Here is one manufacture that we recently bought a modular from that we have in a community. They do both manufactured and modular, so you just have to look at the description of the plans:
Palm Harbor (http://www.palmharbor.com)

Don't know if you've checked them out, but there's always Wausau Homes (http://www.wausauhomes.com). I can list a ton in WI - want me to?

I toured the plant for Excel Homes, in PA. It's a fantastic company.

Can anyone tell me about how much it costs to put up a manufactured or modular home??? DH keeps asking me about it and most places don't post pricing.

kadee_29 We were <this close> to building a modular home next summer, and then fate intervened and we bought a house instead. Still, I've done a considerable amount of research, and we were in the formal quoting process when we found our new home.

Of course, I have to say that costs will vary wildly depending on location, builder, upgrades, and customization. But here are two builders for the NorthEast that post pretty considerable price lists for a bunch of different models.

http://www.allamericanmodular.com/pricing.html

These costs include the cost of the house, delivery, taxes, etc. You still need to pay for site excavation and utility hook-ups, foundation, upgrades, customization (if any), and "button-up" work once they put the house on the lot. One of these builders told us that these "additional" costs could range anywhere from $50K to $117K depending on a bunch of different factors. We don't know how true those numbers are because we never got far enough in the process.

Hope that helps!

Thank you!!! I told DH everything you said. I think that if we are going to put out that kind of money we could just buy a house.

Just to let you know that the extra costs for once the house is at the site of $50-115K is pretty accurate. My husband is a GC and just finished a job for a modular home in Boston.
