“Middle income home buyers in the United States are finding little on the market to buy, even if they can qualify and afford a mortgage, according to a new analysis from the National Association of Realtors” said the NAR in a recent tweet. Nobility Homes and Legacy Housing have each reported sales data that bucked the national trends claimed by the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) and some of their Big Three manufactured home producers have apparently supported. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) said on 6.19.2023 that “Home builder confidence rose 5 points in June to a level of 55 in the NAHB/@WellsFargo Housing Market Index (HMI), marking the first time builder confidence has been in positive territory since July 2022.” Restated, there is plenty of evidence that manufactured housing ought to be collectively roaring. But that is obviously not the case. Instead, manufactured housing is in its 7^th month of an apparently accelerating slump. How is that possible? The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) has advanced their data-supported hypothesis. To better understand just how odd the manufactured housing industry downturn is, the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau should prove helpful.

Note that despite inventory challenges far more costly conventional housing has been essentially flat for months, with two months of increases. That stands in stark contrast to the 7 month drop in HUD Code manufactured housing.  More on that further below.

April 2023 brought 4.28 million in sales, a median sales price of $388,800, and 2.9 months of inventory, said the NAR. Even figuring in the cost of a homesite, a new HUD Code manufactured home may be a fraction of the cost of an existing conventional house.

Next, let’s look at what the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) said.

Home builder confidence rose 5 points in June to a level of 55 in the NAHB/@WellsFargo Housing Market Index (HMI), marking the first time builder confidence has been in positive territory since July 2022. https://t.co/la1uiyrlIR | #realestate #homebuilding #economy pic.twitter.com/lDIyUzfJHu

— NAHB 🏠 (@NAHBhome) June 19, 2023

On April 25, 2023, the NAHB said: “The median new home sale price rose in March to $449,800, up 3.2% compared to a year ago.”

So, once again, factoring in the cost of a home site and necessary utilities and improvements, someone can own a new HUD Code manufactured home for a fraction of the price of a conventional house. In numbers of scenarios, per federal data, the total cost for buying a new manufactured home with land can be about half that of purchasing a new conventional house.

• Home Bay on April 24, 2023 said: “A new study found that 72% of renters are convinced they’ll never be able to afford a home.”
• The left-leaning Washington Post on April 19, 2022 said: “A recent analysis by Porch, a home services platform, found that 61 percent of renters can’t afford to a buy a home in their city.”

Publicly traded Nobility Homes (NOBH) demonstrated in their latest quarterly report that they have in several ways bucked the trends that MHI and brands such as Cavco Industries (CVCO).

Legacy Housing (LEGH) similarly demonstrated in their most recent quarterly earnings and reporting data that they too have bucked the trends in certain ways.

So, while MHI is producing ‘housing market’ reports that are essentially their ‘defense’ of why manufactured housing is declining in an affordable housing crisis, the facts above from the Census Bureau, NAR, NAHB, Washington Post, and Home Bay demonstrate why manufactured housing ought to be soaring. After all, in the current economic environment with higher interest rates, perhaps 60+ percent of renters can’t afford to buy a conventional house. But some 25-26 million renters, per Freddie Mac, could buy a new HUD Code manufactured home.

Nevertheless, time and again, MHI manages to push (or avoid pressing) positions that harm the manufactured housing industry’s growth potential.  See the exclusive report and analysis below.

These facts are difficult for MHI and their leadership to escape. Which may explain why MHI’s leadership would rather duck, dodge, and distract, rather than address the reality head on. Historically, manufactured housing has performed better during higher interest rate eras than it has been during this current period.

It isn’t just MHARR and MHProNews/MHLivingNews that is pressing MHI and their dominating brands on why the industry is underperforming during an affordable housing market.  Analyst Gregory Palm pushed Cavco’s President and CEO William “Bill” Boor (who happens to be MHI’s vice chairman) on why manufactured housing is production is “so weak?”  Check out that report below.

MHI can talk about ‘elevating the industry’s profile’ but if they do so then what they are calling attention to for thinking people is that manufactured housing is once more dropping in sales and shipments while they claim to be ‘elevating’ the profile and “expanding” the industry’s products because they are ‘attainable.’ Who at MHI makes their drivel up?

What Bing Had to Say

In response to the following inquiry: Write a 1000 word article on why manufactured housing is underperforming during an affordable housing crisis here is how Bing replied.

Manufactured housing is underperforming during an affordable housing crisis for several reasons. According to Samuel Strommen of Knudson Law, the manufactured housing industry is rife with lack of oversight and consolidating power, subsuming an industry that is praying upon the vulnerability of the impoverished in a gross, incestuous symbiosis ¹².

The growing housing supply shortage is also a key contributor to the housing affordability crisis. Following the Great Recession, the share of homes being built fell significantly, causing buyer demand to exceed housing production. In fact, fewer new homes were built in the decade following the Great Recession than in any decade since the 1960s ³.

However, manufactured-housing developers are in a position to close local affordable housing gaps more quickly than traditional home builders. Planners often underestimate manufactured housing’s potential for alleviating affordable housing supply shortages ⁴.

I hope this helps.

That wasn’t even close to 1000 words, but Bing’s AI repeatedly referenced points, articles, and media releases that MHProNews and/or MHLivingNews have pointed to the facts that our industry-leading platforms have.

Senator Tim Scott (SC-R) is clearly open and favorable to manufactured housing issues. He, his team, and allies should push for new Congressional hearings on what has gone wrong with the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (MHIA), it’s enhanced preemption provision, and the Duty to Serve (DTS) manufactured housing. If has been about a dozen years since members of Congress held their Danville field hearings on the implementation of the MHIA, and there has been no apparent improvement since then. Let honest lawmakers and public officials explore these issues in a public and transparent fashion. Only be exposing the root causes of the lack of affordable housing can the obvious solutions be unchained for the benefit of millions of Americans of all backgrounds. ###
