According to a new 9.28.2023 markets trend report by real estate data firm ATTOM Data: “Amid the continued rebound in the U.S. housing market, annual price appreciation has outpaced weekly annualized wage changes from the third quarter of last year to the third quarter of this year in 272 of the 578 counties analyzed in the report (47 percent).” More pull quotes from the same source: “Home ownership keeps getting tougher for buyers as average 30-year home-mortgage rates in the U.S. have risen above 7 percent, from under 3 percent in 2021, and home prices have increased again in the third quarter of this year. ” “Compared to historical levels, median home prices in 574 of the 578 counties analyzed in the third quarter of 2023 are less affordable than in the past.” “Meanwhile, major home-ownership expenses on typical homes are considered unaffordable to average local wage earners during the third quarter of 2023 in 457, or more than three-quarters, of the 578 counties in the report, based on the 28 percent guideline.” Investopedia said (emphasis added on first bold text) on 8.21.2023 that “according to mortgage data company HSH, which estimated that as of the second quarter, a household would need to make $105,324 to afford a typical home. As of 2021, the median household income was only $70,784 according to the Census Bureau.” Those pull quotes help frame the data from Visual Capitalist (VC) in Part I of today’s report which features the most sought-after starting career positions. That research VC provided below is based upon information obtained from Indeed. Such factoids and research claims may prove useful to manufactured housing professionals in several ways, which include better understanding recruiting dynamics as well as for possible target marketing and advocacy purposes.
Part II provides additional information with more MHProNews analysis and commentary in brief.
Part III is our Daily Business News on MHProNews major market visual snapshots which features over two dozen publicly traded firms involved in the manufactured home industry. Part III also has our left (CNN Business) right (Newsmax) headlines recap which sheds light on ‘market moving’ events. Notice: there may be reasons why more pros in 2023.
According to VC and Indeed, 65 percent of U.S. adults don’t have a four-year undergraduate college degree. Some 70 million of those individuals without a four-year college degree obtained skills through “alternative routes” of training and education.
Part I
Indeed is one of the largest job sites of its kind in the U.S. That means they are well suited for conducting such research. The most sought-after jobs paying over $40,000 a year per the Indeed job site research as shown by Visual Capitalist (VC) in recent report on their site and others such as ZeroHedge.
Notice that per Indeed’s analysis of entry level job postings listed on its platform that offered a starting salary of over $40,000, the most “highly sought-after roles across the U.S.” without a college degree are as follows. Note too that per Indeed and VC, some 65 percent of U.S. adults don’t have a four-year undergraduate degree. Some 70 million people were skilled “through alternative routes” that did not involve a traditional college degree.
Zero Hedge noted the following about the second category above.
One of the highest paying non-degree jobs in this list—Auto Body Technician—can fetch highly-skilled entry-level workers a salary of $82,000 per year.”
MHProNews asked Bing’s AI Chat function the following:
> “What U.S. governors in the 21st century don’t or didn’t have a college degree?”
As an example of the weakness – or lack of perfection in Bing’s AI chat – note that the list didn’t include former Governor Scott Walker (WI-R). Walker for a time was deemed by some to have presidential qualities, and has since gone on to lead, per Up North News: “the Young America’s Foundation, a conservative group that, according to its website, “trains the next generation of America’s freedom fighters.”” As MHProNews noted early on it is use of Bing’s AI chat function, there are some apparent errors, and possible signs of manipulation of information, per third party research and our own test results. That said, it is an emerging technology, and though we are not fans of Microsoft or William
“Bill” Gates III, there are reasons to apply the principle of separating the wheat from the chaff with Bing AI chat too.
Part II – Additional Information with More MHProNews Analysis and Commentary in Brief
Almost any topic in manufactured housing could – and should – be viewed through the lens of employees. MHProNews periodically raises that perspective, as is exemplified by reports like those that follow. Note that some of the firms named in the report below are among those involved in that big class action lawsuit. See more on that further below. Both of the following reports ranked highly on our site during the month they were first published and for some time thereafter as well.
That said, Abinav cited the U.S. Department of Labor for the following remarks: “…when we speak of the average salary in US per month for 2023 it depends on multiple factors of professions, age, educational credentials, industry type as well as geographical places. As per recent data by the Bureau of Labour and Statistics, the average salary in the US per month is $6,228 or $74,738 per year.”
That income in 2021 – which began while Trump was still in office and before “Bidenomics” fully kicked in – was sufficient for someone or a household to buy the typical house that year, per the data cited above by Investopedia and HSH. But as October 2023 looms, that pay is no longer sufficient to buy an existing conventional housing unit in much of the U.S.
As millions of often low-skilled illegal immigrants have flooded into the U.S. under Biden regime border policies, the law of supply and demand means those newcomers are putting additional pressure on wages – downward.
The late Senator Diana Feinstein (CA-D), early in her Senate career, reportedly noted how illegal immigration harmed working- and middle-class Americans. The shift in her party’s policies toward de facto favoring open borders is a reminder of just how far politics have swung to the left among Democratic leaders. Note that self-declared Democratic Socialist and former Democratic presidential nominee hopefully, Bernie Sanders, has also reportedly flip-flopped on the harm caused to U.S. employees by illegal migrants.
For a range of reasons, put simply, the American Dream of homeownership is slipping away for millions. That’s obviously a problem for America. It is, however, a possible opportunity in disguise for those who learn to spot opportunities that may arise from troubling situations.
MHProNews asked Bing’s AI chat function the following question:
> “How much income is needed to support a $225,000 mortgage today?”
Please note that this is an estimate and the actual amount may vary depending on several factors such as interest rates, credit score, and other debts beyond your new housing costs 1.
I hope this information helps!

Next, MHProNews asked Bing’s AI Chat function this:
> “What is the average price of a new manufactured home in 2023?”
Certainly, in several parts of the country, a $225,00 mortgage could support the purchase of a new manufactured home as well as modest piece of property plus some needed improvements. Just as certainly, there are places in the U.S. where that $225k mortgage would not be enough to make such a purchase.
- But the most recent data reflects that for the ‘typical’ person or family, the purchase of existing or new conventional housing is now out of their reach.
- By contrast, the most recent data available on this date reflects that in many parts of the nation, a new manufactured home on a piece of privately owned land could be supported by the typical household income.
This should be a HUGE message for manufactured home marketers.
It should also be headline items pressed by the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) and their state association affiliates. It should be a key point in their lobbying and advocacy in support of regulatory reforms too.
Next, MHProNews asked Bing’s AI Chat function this:
> “Other than MHProNews or MHLivingNews, what manufactured housing trade media have said that the typical U.S. household income no longer is enough to buy a conventional house in most of the country?”
The manufactured housing industry has been recognized as a crucial solution to the affordable housing crisis in the United States1. According to the Census Bureau’s Manufactured Housing Survey (MHS), 21.2 million people in the U.S. live in a manufactured or mobile home1. Manufactured homes make up 11% of annual new home starts1. The median annual household income of manufactured home residents who own their homes is about $35,000, which is half of the median annual income of site-built homeowners2.
While I couldn’t find specific trade media sources that mention the typical U.S. household income no longer being enough to buy a conventional house in most of the country, it’s important to note that housing affordability is a significant concern for many Americans3. Factors such as rising home prices and mortgage rates can make it challenging for households with lower incomes to afford a conventional house4. …”
Note that Bing provided links to MHProNews among the options for more information.
Not mentioned in the Bing AI search results were the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI), nor any MHI linked state association “affiliate.”
Against the above background are the following insights and observations.
- A Manufactured Housing Executives Council (MHEC) state association executive told MHProNews that a good umbrella trade group does three things. Protect. Educate. Promote or P.E.P.
- Another MHEC state executive said that it is not the job of a trade organization to defend the bad reputation or problematic practices of specific manufactured home companies.
3) A prominent MHI member pointed out earlier this year that the lack of affordable housing costs the U.S. economy some $2 trillion dollars annually. Yet, despite an array of possibly useful points that could be made MHI itself is apparently failing at job 1 (P.E.P.) and is arguably wrongfully engaged in the practice of burnishing the reputation of certain member-firms that have been plagued with reasonable ‘earned’ bad media and/or which have run afoul of state or federal regulators in ways that seemingly violate MHI’s so-called code of ethical conduct. That purported bolstering of MHI members stature who may not merit it is done is several ways, one of the most obvious is MHI’s arguably problematic ‘awards’ for “excellence in manufactured housing” program.
Yes! Communities is among those MHI ‘excellence’ award winners that has been named in a class action lawsuit, and now in a new potential class action investigation.
Datacomp is a sister brand to MHVillage/MHInsider, and they too have been ‘endorsed’ by MHI, yet they have been named in the class action lawsuit as well.
Datacomp/MHVillage/MHInsider are owned by Equity LifeStyle Properties or ELS. ELS is among those named in the new investigation.
4) Swirling in the middle of most if not all of the above-named firms are the linkage between being an MHI member and/or a member of one or more of what MHI calls an MHI-state association affiliate.
5) Instead of being demonstrably useful in P.E.P. (see #1 above) or avoiding giving cover to problematic brands, MHI has all but drawn a road map for predatory brands that want to consolidate the industry on ‘how to’ do it – and has even promoted ‘tricks of the trade’ as ‘education.’ Only MHProNews/MHLivingNews among industry trade media have consistently and persistently called those so engaged to account and has done so for some 6+ years. Put differently, MHProNews’ research, reports, and true-to-life cautionary tales have proven to be consistently vindicated over time.
6) While MHProNews has been consistently sounding the alarm via reports, analysis and commentary about specific troubling events and trends in manufactured housing, such as those cited in reports linked above and herein, we have also been the most consistent trade media promoting commonsense solutions to these issues. A) Enforcement of existing laws and B) forge an authentic, new post-production trade association. MHProNews did a few outreaches to specific independents and found a warm reception from some to the notions below. Breaking news and other events caused a necessary (not enough time) pause in that effort, but that outreach effort will be resumed in the near term. The fact that white hat brands are interested is a good thing.
7) Right or wrong, there is a sense at this stage that those attorneys who have launched a big antitrust case, and those that are probing manufactured housing for still more such litigation have perhaps significantly overlooked some key facts that may prove important or useful to their efforts. Nevertheless, regardless of the outcome of those two efforts already underway (and hints that there may be more such probes into MHVille on the horizon), there are arguably good reasons for manufactured housing professionals to consider distancing themselves from MHI-linked organizations that may cause them heartburn or worse. Certainly, ethically minded businesses ought to mull the value, or lack thereof, offered by MHI when they are yielding such problematic outcomes and the vexing results of still falling manufactured home sales. Because it isn’t just Washington, D.C. that has turned ‘swampy,’ there are several organizations in MHVille that the evidence suggests are pretty slimy too.
Note that MHProNews contacted MHI leaders and two of their outside attorneys for remarks about the antitrust and other issues. They have once more declined to respond.
8) The raw data in this and other reports featured on MHProNews/MHLivingNews makes the following clear. For tens of millions of Americans, modern manufactured homes are now the ONLY possible affordable permeant housing solution for singles, couples, and families.
Watch for an exclusive update on the mounting MHI CEO Lesli Gooch controversies (see report linked above and here).
