As the U.S. population rises, the steady growth of the mainstream housing market probably comes as a surprise to few. What may come as a surprise to veteran HUD Code manufactured housing professionals is that an affordable housing option –– manufactured homes! – has had a suddenly flurry of positive coverage, by mainstream news outlets.

Bloomberg, HousingWire, Realtor and Fox News have all recently published articles that celebrate the wonders of modern manufactured housing.

Bloomberg’s report showed that the average sales price for a new manufactured home could cost close to well less than half the cost of a site-built home.

So why aren’t more aspiring homeowners with a limited budget opting for manufactured homes? What can the industry do to supplement this recent influx of positive mainstream media reports?

Some possible answers to these questions—complete with photos, illustrations and videos – can be found at full story, linked here. ##
