TheDailyCourier reports Beverly Granillo, who has been selling manufactured homes in Prescott Valley, Arizona since 1986, says used manufactured homes are selling well in the area because they are 30-50 percent less than new homes. She closed her dealership in 2009 because of the economy but now sells new and used homes for another dealer. Noting business has been tough since the housing market crashed in 2007, she says “What is hardest for us is the financing because a lot of lenders are not doing loans on manufactured homes.” MHProNews has learned Larry Tax, owner of Southwest Manufactured Homes, closed his business after 17 years, but now sells mostly used homes from the property of a friend. “We think that the market is finally coming back. It is going to take time. It is past bottom.”
