Nobility will not be holding a conference call, but President Terry Trexler said, “The demand for affordable manufactured housing in Florida and the U.S. is improving. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments in Florida for the period from November 2014 through October 2015 were up approximately 29% from the same period last year. Constrained consumer credit and the lack of lenders in the industry, partly as a result of an increase in government regulations, have limited many affordable manufactured housing buyers from purchasing homes.”
Nobility, headquartered in Florida, has been producing manufactured homes for 48 years. ##
