That equity from a house sale may then be used to pay cash, or make a larger down payment, to buy a new manufactured or modular home.
Several of those homeowners interviewed by MHLivingNews fall into that category.
Against that backdrop, the latest S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller value data reveals growing opportunities for the industry’s professionals.
Why?
That means that the opportunity to sell more homes – notably upscale manufactured homes – is at a new high.
In this video with award winning retailer Stan Dye, the Sunshine Homes retailer explains related points. Namely, that when someone is over 50 and buying a home, they’ve often already owned a conventional house. They’re looking for a “good home” – meaning, a more residential style home, vs. the lower cost, entry level products.
Close attention to what Dye said makes it clear that he’s not saying that
- an entry level,
shade and shelter - VOG home is ‘bad.’ They’re built to HUD standards for safety, construction and energy.
Rather, Dye’s point is that than those conventional home buyers are looking for more quality, enhanced appeal, and residential style than those entry level manufactured homes.
The Dye video and related story is an effective one for retail shoppers, and can be shared with the public on MHLivingNews at this link here.
Higher House Values Means More Opportunities, Per CNBC
Nor is this analysis only the perspective of MHProNews. CNBC’s analysts are citing this same CoreLogic Case-Shiller data as a reason why opportunities for conventional housing are also rising.
