The Perfect Mobile Home Autumn Painting Colors

Autumn means your kids are going back to school, the weather is cooling down just a bit, and you’re thinking about ways to pumpkin-spice up your mobile home. For many, this can be a “fall cleaning” session on the weekend, but for others it’s a time to introduce some new paint colors into the mix.

Here, we’ll talk about some of the most popular colors for painting your mobile home interior in the fall to help create some inspiration this season!

Light Coffee Brown

This is a popular color for elegant living rooms. Painting a common shared space a shade of brown, such as coffee brown, is a great way to start introducing some earthy tones into your mobile home.

Browns are a close cousin of dark reds (which we’ll get into below) and help inspire calmness and naturalness. While you could use a coffee brown for your bedroom or a dining room, we recommend it most for your living room as it can be a great, calm color when you’re cozying up for movie night with some warm cider.

Neutral Gray

Though this color is one of the more neutral ones on our fall mobile home painting palette, it’s still worth mentioning because of just how popular it is this time of year.

A gray-painted wall is a great tone that can work in multiple rooms of your home. Whether you’re painting your mobile home bathroom, or a guest bedroom, a gray that’s not too dark or not too light can help really bring the room together.

Burgundy

This is another popular color that inspires elegance in any mobile home. A dark red like burgundy, when paired with the right kind of furniture, can make your living room or master bedroom feel like royalty.

Because burgundy, even though it’s a darker red, is still a more vibrant color than gray, it’s more important to find room furnishings that match your new wall color. For example, if you’re painting your mobile home master bedroom burgundy, finding a comforter in a similar or matching color (so, not teal) will help tie this popular fall color together.

Olive

While olive as a painting color is popular in the spring, it’s also gaining popularity in the fall, too.

An olive green, with hints of gray, is a fantastic color for many rooms in your mobile home. It can provide an earthy tone to your mobile home kitchen. Or, maybe it’s a subtle, yet creative color for your home office. You could even use it for a guest bedroom!

Of all the colors on this list, olive might just be the most versatile because of how well it can be used in just about any room in your mobile home.

Autumn Orange

Autumn orange is the brightest color on our list of fall mobile home painting colors, but it’s perfect for a child’s bedroom or even a mudroom.

Having a bright orange can help inspire happiness and activity, particularly when the last rays of summer sunshine are still shining. While it can be tricky to get this color just right, it can be worth it for having your own pocket of warmth right in your mobile home to last you through the fall and winter.

If it makes sense, you could also use this kind of orange as an accent wall. An accent wall is a different color from the rest

Hopefully some of these mobile home fall painting colors have provided some ideas for your space this autumn.

How Long Will It Take to Sell My Mobile Home?

The mobile home selling process can be exciting and full of celebration, particularly once your home has been sold. But, it may conjure up some anxiety, too. Perhaps you’re worried about getting the right price, or about finding interested buyers.

Or, perhaps you’re wondering how long it’s going to take to get your mobile home from listing to closing. If this sounds like you, then the MHVillager has the answers.

Selling Your Mobile Home

First, it’s important to remember that the mobile home selling process can look vastly different from listing to listing.

Some sellers might go through a broker, dealer, or manufactured home community. Others may sell from the comfort of their home, through a process known as For Sale By Owner – or FSBO.

In any case using MHVillage to list your mobile home, can also speed up the process. But, by selling your mobile home either with a third party or the FSBO method, no two selling processes are alike in terms of length.

What Factors Affect How Long It Takes to Sell My Mobile Home?

Quality of Your Listing

Having a well-written listing for your mobile home is critical for getting it to sell quickly. This means having quality photos of your home that show its beauty inside and out.

It also means using descriptive language to showcase your home and its appealing features. Make sure to mention any recent additions or repairs to your home (more on that below).

Your listing description should also be the right length. One sentence isn’t going to cut it. A few paragraphs is best, but don’t write a novel. Be short and sweet….but not too short.

Visibility of Your Listing

If you’re listing your mobile home on MHVillage, you’ll be getting your listing in front of thousands of visitors that come to our website every day searching for manufactured homes to buy or rent. There are ways to make your listing even more visible on MHVillage. And, because MHVillage is exclusively dedicated to manufactured homes, you’re not competing with other types of real estate when selling your home.

The best way to reach as many visitors as possible is to explore Featured or Premium listing options. These put your home in front of even more MHVillage visitors and give you more options for maximizing your potential as a seller, such as unlimited photos for Premium listings and a boost to the top of the search results on MHVillage.

The Condition of Your Mobile Home

This next factor doesn’t apply to just mobile homes; it’s a common rule of thumb when selling any type of home. The better condition your home is in, the higher the likelihood you’ll be able to sell it quickly.

Consider what remodels you can make to your mobile home before you list it. For example, perhaps you can remodel your kitchen, or repaint the siding on your home. Such improvements can, in some cases, increase the resale value of your mobile home once you go to sell it.

The period before selling your mobile home is also a good time to make any major repairs. For instance, you could repair your mobile home roof.

Demand in Your Local Market

This is another factor that’s dependent on things outside of your mobile home. The demand for homes in your local market can affect how quickly it sells.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t list your mobile home if demand seems low in your area. However, you should consider some of the above factors when listing your home and take extra care to make sure your listing stands out above the rest if supply is higher than demand.

Speed of Inspection and Appraisal

Before you decide to sell your mobile home, you should have an inspection and appraisal completed. The inspection will take a full view of your mobile home’s condition, and the appraisal will value your home for what it’s worth.

The length of this process can vary depending on a number of factors. However, by going with Datacomp Appraisal Services for your mobile home inspection and appraisal, you can ensure you have the expertise and speed needed to complete this step of the selling process quickly and easily.

For FSBO: Familiarity of Paperwork

If you’re selling your mobile home the FSBO way, this next part is very important.

As the primary selling party in a FSBO transaction, it’s up to you to ensure you’re well versed on the paperwork involved throughout the entire selling process. This will vary from state to state, as mobile homes are titled and registered at the state level, not at a federal level.

If you find yourself missing paperwork along the way, or using the wrong forms, you risk drawing out the selling process.

How Can I Sell My Mobile Home?

If you’re ready to sell your manufactured home quickly, head over to MHVillage, the nation’s leading platform for buying, selling, and renting mobile homes. MHVillage offers multiple listing packages for you to choose from, with varying options that optimize your listing to reach as many people as possible.

Remodeling Your Mobile Home Bathroom? Here’s Everything You Should Consider.

If you’re thinking about selling your mobile home, or simply want to give it some new life, you should consider remodeling your mobile home bathroom.

Not only should your bathroom give you comfort, privacy, and provide a sense of luxury, but keeping it modern and stylish can have an impact on your manufactured home’s resale value. But, if you’re not selling your manufactured home anytime soon, then remodeling your bathroom can still breathe new life into your home.

For those looking to start a bathroom remodel, here is everything you should consider from top to bottom:

Bathtub

Remodeling a mobile home bathtub can be a big or a small project. Whether you’re giving it a new finish or replacing it outright, a bathtub remodel in your mobile home can go a long way.

One way to go is with a free-standing clawfoot tub. These have been popular in centuries past, but have made a comeback as a stylish, elegant, and refined option for bathrooms across the country.

Or, if you want to explore refinishing your existing tub, many mobile homeowners opt to go for a DIY approach. You can find DIY kits for refinishing your mobile home bathtub that make the job manageable, yet satisfactory. However, we recommend seeking out professional advice before you begin a large project like this.

Shower

When it comes to your shower, remodeling can mean a few different things. Maybe you have a standing shower and want to resurface it with tile, stone, or another material. Or, perhaps you just need to replace your showerhead with a new water-efficient model.

In any case, you should highly consider whether your shower needs a remodel if you’re working on your bathroom. Remodeling a shower can mean increased water efficiency, or even an all-new look for your bathroom that’s just your style.

Toilet

The toilet is one of the most important fixtures in your manufactured home bathroom. So, having one that works as intended is important.

Like your shower, this is another area where you want to ensure that you’re being as energy efficient as possible. Replacing your toilet with a low-flush model is a great way to be more environmentally friendly.

Or, if you’re looking at other ideas, something as small as replacing the toilet seat or installing an easy-install bidet can do wonders for your bathroom.

Sink

You might not think about your mobile home bathroom’s sink all that much, but in reality it’s just as important as the other items on the list.

Remodeling a bathroom for its sinks is a great way to bring it into the modern age. Installing a new sink made of glass, ceramic, or marble can add a sense of luxury when you’re washing your hands. In fact, you can even add a sink if you have room for a his-and-her sink setup.

If you’re happy with the number of sinks in your bathroom, you could look at re-doing the countertops on your sink for a new finish. Or, installing a new faucet can help improve water flow.

Flooring

Tiled or vinyl flooring in a mobile home bathroom is incredibly common. It’s a simple, yet effective way of flooring a bathroom, as non-porous materials like these reduce the risk of mold buildup.

When remodeling your bathroom, keep in mind the flooring and decide whether it’s what you want in terms of style, color, and material. It might just be the perfect time to consider reflooring!

Re-flooring your manufactured home bathroom can be an easy DIY project, too, depending on the material as well as your know-how. If you’re going with vinyl flooring, it’s especially doable if you have a friend or family member to help you out and make the job go by even faster.

Fan

The exhaust fan in your bathroom – also known as a vent fan – is incredibly important when it comes to moisture control, getting rid of any stale air, and ensuring your bathroom doesn’t smell like wet socks. Without a properly working fan, you’ll have mold growing in your bathroom left and right.

Take time to make sure your exhaust fan is venting properly. If it’s not, repair or replace it as soon as you can. While some vent fan issues can be fixed with a reset at your circuit breaker, generally you’ll want to call a professional to have it looked at.

Storage

Think about how much storage you have in your bathroom. Do you have a medicine cabinet behind your mirror? What about storage space under your sink for cleaning supplies? A towel rack? Shower supply storage?

If you find yourself wanting some more space to store your bathroom essentials, the perfect time to do so is while you’re in the middle of a remodel. Upgrading your mirror to one with a medicine cabinet will give you more room for your ibuprofen, first aid needs, and more.

Another popular option is a rack that sits above your toilet that takes advantage of otherwise unused vertical space. This makes for a perfect way to add space for your hairbrush or makeup bag!

How Can You Contact a Mobile Home Park You’re Interested In?

We’re going to start this blog with a hypothetical scenario. Let’s say you’re looking for mobile homes for sale in a mobile home park. While you’re looking, whether you’re looking for homes in your neighborhood or browsing MHVillage, you find a community that has it all.

Your favorite amenities. The perfect manufactured home for sale. The right location.

From there, you might be wondering – how can you contact a park that you’re interested in moving to on MHVillage?

The MHVillager has the answers.

Finding a Community You’re Interested In

The first step to contacting a mobile home park that you’re interested in is finding one, first.

What is the definition of the right mobile home park for you? Well, it can mean a few different things:

It has the right amenities. If you’re passionate about keeping in shape and want to hit the pickleball court, finding a community that has a pickleball court would be important to you. Finding a park with the right amenities can be crucial to ensuring your long-term success in that park.
It has the perfect mobile home for you. One aspect of your community search should be the search for the right home. The right community will have the perfect home for you, from the floor plan of your desire to the number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
It offers your preferred level of privacy. Many mobile home parks offer gated security to offer peace of mind for their residents. In fact, many prefer this, as they know they’ll have a quiet neighborhood to come home to.
It’s in your budget. This might be one of the most important considerations. The right park for you should be within your budget for a manufactured home that offers what you want and need out of your home.
It’s in your desired market. Whether you’re moving between neighborhood or one that’s in another state, the right community for you will be in an area that you want to call home. Maybe that area is close to family, or close to where you work.

How to Use MHVillage to Contact Communities

Once you find a community that you’re interested in, there are a few different ways you can make contact:

First, you can contact a community directly through MHVillage. This is one of the easiest ways to contact a manufactured home community that you’re interested in moving to.

On a community profile on MHVillage, you’ll find a form that will allow you to contact the community directly to request more information on their available homes. Here, you’ll provide your contact information so that the community can contact you back.

You can also email the community from their community profile on MHVillage in some instances as well. On some community profiles, you’ll see a red Email button that you can use to send an email to the community.

This will allow you to send an email with information about your inquiry.

Or, you can call the community directly from your phone or telephone-enabled computer (using Skype or a similar provider) directly from a community’s profile on MHVillage as well.

Under the Email button, you may see another button that says Call Community. From your mobile device, you can click that button to call them if their phone number is listed with MHVillage. If your computer is connected to an application that can make and receive telephone calls, you can click this button to make a call that way, too.

How to Find Communities

If you’re interested in finding a manufactured home community to call home, but aren’t sure where to start, look no further than MHVillage.

On MHVillage, you can browse thousands of mobile home parks that list their information and view their available mobile homes for sale. You can even browse communities based on a number of search criteria from our Mobile Home Parks search page, such as search radius, park type, and parks with available lots.

The Ins and Outs of Buying a Mobile Home in Indiana

If you’re looking in Indiana for a manufactured home to purchase or the cheapest way to buy a mobile home, then you’re in luck. Why? Because Indiana is one of top markets for manufactured housing in the country.

No matter what stage of the mobile home buying process you’re at, let the MHVillager help you out in your journey. Here are the ins and outs of buying an Indiana mobile home:

Indiana as a Mobile Home Market

Indiana is one of the most active states in the Midwest for manufactured home buying, not to mention the entire country.

One of the main reasons for this is the affordability factor. Indiana is home to some of the most affordable manufactured homes, both new and pre-owned, in the entire country.

In fact, according to 2021 sales data from Datacomp, the average sales price for a new manufactured home in Indiana came out to around $69,720. Meanwhile, pre-owned mobile homes in the Hoosier State sold for an average of $39,213.

Given the blooming market for both types of manufactured homes in the state, it’s easy to see why Indiana is so popular for manufactured homeowners. And, when you compare that to average sale prices for site-built homes, which are often in the six-digit range, it makes the appeal of mobile homes that much greater.

Questions to Ask Yourself

If you’re getting ready to purchase an Indiana mobile home, there are a few things you should ask yourself before you start the process:

Do you want to live on private land?

There are two ways to buy a mobile home: in a manufactured home community, or on private land.

There are advantages to both. If you buy a mobile home on private land, you’ll have more privacy and as much space as your land allows for expansions onto your home.

You can read more in the MHVillager about buying a mobile home on private land.

How big of a mobile home do you need?

When you’re shopping for mobile homes in Indiana, not only should you consider the square footage of the home, but the type of mobile home you’re buying, too.

See, manufactured homes are often referred to as single-section or multi-section. If a manufactured home has more than one section, it means that each section of the home is joined together once it’s been shipped to the final home site.

For many, a single-section or single-wide mobile home is more than enough. Some single-wides can measure up to 1,400 square feet. However, if you’re moving into a manufactured home with your family, or would like a spare room or two for a home office, it may be worth looking into multi-section mobile homes in Indiana.

If you’re looking for a community, what amenities are important to you?

One of the biggest advantages of living in a manufactured home community are the amenities that they provide.

If you’re considering a move into a manufactured home community, consider whether that community has the right amenities that you’re looking for. For example, if you’re an avid swimmer, finding a park that has a swimming pool on-site might be important to you. Or, maybe you want to find a community that has a dog park on-site for your furry friend. Or, maybe you’ve been meaning to take up shuffleboarding.

The Closing Process

Once you’ve placed an offer on an Indiana mobile home that you like, you’ll begin the closing process once it’s been accepted. This may involve a counter-offer from the seller before they accept your offer, or accept a different one in some cases.

After your offer has been accepted, you’ll want to have your new Indiana mobile home inspected to verify its condition.

From there, it’s a matter of ensuring your financing is secured before the closing paperwork begins. The type of closing paperwork will vary from state to state, but at the very least you’ll sign a transfer of ownership agreement, a bill of sale, and other documents relating to your financing.

Indiana-Specific Considerations

Buying a mobile home in Indiana means that you’ll need to have a title for the home that is registered with the state. Specifically, in Indiana, you’ll have your home titled through the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV).

One aspect of the titling process that is very important to know is that the application requirements are different for new and pre-owned manufactured homes. You can find the application forms for each at the Indiana BMV’s website.

Finding Your Perfect Mobile Home

So, if you’re in the market for a new or pre-owned manufactured home to call your own in the state of Indiana, you’re probably wondering how you can find a mobile home that’s perfect.

Well, like many things, perfection is subjective. But, to find the best mobile home for you, you should check out MHVillage, the nation’s leading platform for buying, selling, and renting manufactured homes.

With MHVillage’s mobile home search page, you can browse mobile homes in Indiana to find one near you that meets what you’re looking for. And, you can even contact the seller of a particular home you’re interested in, right from the listing.

How is the Market for Luxury Features in Mobile Homes in 2022?

As the cost of living continues to rise, the need for affordable factory-built housing has risen. So, too, has their popularity with Americans all over the country.

In fact, the desire for manufactured homes that offer upgradable luxury features, offering the same first-class perks as a site-built home that can be out of reach for the majority of Americans, is seeing a jump. But what are mobile homes with luxury features, exactly, and how are they a suitable alternative to similar suite-built homes?

Let the MHVillager walk you through it:

What are Luxury Features in Mobile Homes?

Mobile homes that have luxury features, like all manufactured homes, are built in a factory and then transported to the home site.

These mobile homes have modern upgrades, state-of-the-art appliances, and elegant, upscaled finishes that make a mobile home, well, luxurious. Some upgradable luxury features include:

Marble or quartz countertops
Stainless steel, internet-enabled appliances
Extra kitchen storage, including a kitchen island
Higher ceilings
Open floor plans
Spacious closets
Lush, high-quality carpeting or hardwood flooring
First-class bathroom materials, including large spa-style tubs

Keep in mind that what might be a luxury feature to you, might not be one to someone else, So, consider what upgrades are most important to you when considering which option to choose with your mobile home purchase.

Can I Buy Mobile Homes With Luxurious Features in 2022?

Yes! In fact, the market for mobile homes with luxury features in 2022 is quite strong.

This is, in part, due to increasing demand for factory-built manufactured homes across the board over the past several years. Because manufactured homes offer cost savings thanks to their cost-efficient, factory-built nature, they’re seen as an affordable option by millions of Americans for attaining the dream of homeownership.

So, manufactured homes that offer luxury features in turn have also seen an uptick in interest. When you have luxury features like the ones we mentioned above at a lower cost than having similar features in a site-built home, it’s easy to see why they’re so in demand.

Are These Homes Found in Communities?

Before we answer this question, it’s important to remember that not all mobile homes will have the same upgradable add-ons. In fact, if you put two homes side-by-side, they may look quite different. Not all manufactured homes with luxury features will have high ceilings that are the same height, or the same types of countertops.

That said, you may find some manufactured home communities that have homes with luxury features. For example, some communities may have open homes that have larger floor plans.

If you already own a mobile home with modern features and want to move it into a community, you could contact that community to see if they have any open lots to move your home to. In fact, you can filter your mobile home park search on MHVillage to show parks in your area that have available lots.

What About Private Land?

If you buy a mobile home new from the manufacturer or dealer, more than likely you can have it placed on your own land.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why new mobile homes on private land are more common than those in communities.

We wrote recently about the logistics of buying both a mobile home and land, whether it be together or separately. This mostly holds true for mobile homes as well.

If living space, indoors and outdoors, is a major consideration for you when buying a mobile home, then private land may be the way to go. This is because you could buy a plot of land that’s as large as you want, widening your potential for expanding your manufactured home. So, if you wanted to add a deck, you could do exactly that.

What’s My Next Step?

Many manufacturers offer mobile homes with upgradable luxury add-ons directly. If you have a specific manufacturer in mind, you could contact them to see what’s available.

Or, you can check out MHVillage’s Manufactured and Mobile Home Dealers page to look for dealers near you. Here, you can look for dealers near you that can help you throughout the mobile home buying process, including for mobile homes with luxury features if they have them in stock.

Is Your A/C Out? Here’s How to Beat the Heat in Your Summer Mobile Home

Just because it’s summertime doesn’t mean we’re out of the woods when it comes to harsh summer heat waves. And, there’s nothing worse than having your air conditioning go out on a 90 degree day. Not only is it inconvenient, it can be dangerous.

So, it’s worth going over some of the ways you can beat the heat if you find yourself without A/C.

A/C Repair Basics

Let’s say you’re sitting at home on a hot summer day, and suddenly your A/C cuts out. First, there are a few things you should do to determine what the issue might be.

Have other appliances, such as the fridge or your lights, gone out as well? If so, check your circuit breaker with professional assistance to see if you need to turn the affected circuit off and on. For some, this may fix the issue – perhaps you just overloaded a circuit!

If your other appliances are out, but the above trick doesn’t work, you may have a power outage in your area. Report the outage to your electrical utility provider and monitor for updates.

If the problem is isolated to your air conditioning unit, you may need to call a repairman. Very minor air conditioning problems, such as a filter that’s gotten dirty, can be fixed on your own in some cases.

Set Up Your Fans In This Specific Fashion

While you’re waiting for your mobile home repairman to come take a look at your A/C, you may want to set up some fans around your house to help cool down the air in your mobile home.

This can be a great idea, and is even more effective if you consider the following arrangement that can be done with just two box fans.

Place the first box fan in an open window (with a screen) to circulate fresh air from the outside into your home. Ideally, this should be placed opposite the doorway in the room this fan will live in. This is because you’ll want a second box fan near the doorway to blow the air into the next room over.

Another technique with fans is to place one box fan in an open window, blowing air OUT. Then, open the windows on the OPPOSITE side of the house where the cooler outside air will be drawn in by the negative air pressure the box fan creates by sucking the hot air out of the house.

This technique works best in the morning or evening when the air is cooler outside than it is inside. If you do this technique in the morning, then close all your doors, windows, and curtains during the day, you can keep the inside of your home cooler than the warm air outside during the heat of the day.

Look Into Portable A/C Units

If fans don’t cut it for you, then you can look into portable A/C units. These can vary greatly in price, range, and size, meaning there’s an option out there for any budget.

Some handheld units that sit on a desk or table can go for as little as $50 on Amazon. These can be handy in a pinch if you’re working out of your mobile home’s remote work office and need to cool down before your next video conference.

If you’re looking for a bigger device, various portable air conditioners can be moved around on wheels and sit in a corner of your living room, bedroom, or other room in your manufactured home for a few hundred dollars. These also come in various ranges of power and can cool off a good portion of your manufactured home. Some even come with dehumidifiers built in, making them an even more solid investment.

Beat the Heat in Your Community

If you live in a manufactured home community, go for a swim in your community’s pool if you have one!

A great benefit of community living are the amenities available to you. In some communities, you can take advantage of an on-site swimming pool or spa. During the hot summer months, you can go for a dip with your family to cool off!

Or, spend some time in your park’s air-conditioned clubhouse, if your park has one, while you wait for the A/C repairman to come to your home.

Try Window Air Conditioning

One tried and true method of air conditioning your home, particularly during the hot summer months, is a window air conditioning unit. These can especially be great if your central air conditioning goes out and you need a quick, yet effective way to cool down your mobile home.

These units also go for a few hundred dollars, but are mounted inside your window and sit partially outside. These days, some models that fit in your window can be controlled via a remote for ease of use.

You can also find models of window air conditioners that can cool down an entire floor of your home, if the BTU (or British Thermal Unit, the measure of how powerful your air conditioner is) is high enough. Generally speaking, the higher the BTU, the more area it can cover in your home. For example, a 6,000 BTU air conditioner can cover an average of 300 square feet in your home, whereas a 10,000 BTU unit may cover more space.

When to Call a Repairman

Like we mentioned earlier, you’ll want to call your local A/C contractor for your central air conditioning 9 times out of 10. Some of the solutions we’ve talked about in this article, while they are temporary, should not mean that you put off fixing your central air if you have it.

If you’re in the market for a central air replacement, however, we recommend checking out MHVillage’s Parts and Supplies page to shop for air conditioners and replacement parts.

These Manufactured Homes Went VIRAL on Social Media…

The Memphis comes in at 2,281 square feet, meaning each and every bedroom in this manufactured home will have more than enough space for you and your loved ones.

Home #4 – The Belmont

The Belmont from @claytonhomes is another viral manufactured home for a few reasons.

First, its 1,620 square footage makes it the perfect balance of space and functionality. The open concept kitchen and dining nook make for great cooking and entertaining space.

One of the most beneficial features of this model, and what makes it stand out enough to viral with over 15,000 likes, is its on-site garage. This means you have space for your car as well as large power equipment (such as your lawnmower) during any season.

This large manufactured home is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath factory-built home with over 2,200 square feet of space. If the large, open living room doesn’t sell you on this home, then perhaps the large, colorful kitchen with stone backsplash will.

And, this home has a huge master bedroom, with his-and-her closets, a separate bathroom with a free-standing tub, and a tiled shower.

This manufactured home is one that’s so popular because of the high-end features, which you can see in full by checking out this TikTok by clicking the image below.

Is It Still Possible to Sell Your Mobile Home FSBO in 2022?

The manufactured home market continues to grow and bring in new mobile home buyers and sellers.

For the sellers, there’s a choice to be made as to how they will go about the selling process. But, this choice goes beyond whether they work with their community to sell the home, or a broker.

Rather, a seller may be wondering whether they can sell their mobile home on their own – also known as a For-Sale-by-Owner or FSBO sale.

For that question, the MHVillager has the answer.

What is FSBO Selling?

When you sell a mobile home the FSBO way, you are listing and selling your home without the assistance of a broker, dealer, or manufactured home community. Rather, you’re selling your home all on your own, from the listing to the title ownership.

Many home sellers prefer to sell their manufactured home FSBO. For some, they prefer the independence of managing the process themselves. Others prefer to do so for selling their home more cost-efficiently, which we’ll talk a bit more about below.

No matter your reason for selling your mobile home FSBO, however, you can sell your mobile home this way in 2022.

Can I Still Sell My Mobile Home FSBO in 2022?

Yes! In 2022, you can absolutely still sell your mobile home by going the FSBO route. In fact, it’s a really good year to do so.

There are a few reasons for this. First, selling your manufactured home FSBO gives you the power to call the shots during the selling process. Additionally, you won’t have to pay any seller’s fees to a dealer, or pay another selling entity.

Additionally, throughout 2022, demand for manufactured homes has still been quite high. Because they’re so affordable compared to site-built homes and offer immensely high quality, many homebuyers are flocking to manufactured homes.

What this means for you, the seller, is that you can price your home aggressively and still have it sell relatively quickly, thanks to increased home values over the past several years.

If you’re interested in selling your mobile home the FSBO way, we recommend starting with MHVillage, the nation’s leading platform for buying, selling, and renting manufactured homes.

Is There Anything Else I Need to Know Beforehand?

Just because selling a mobile home in 2022 the FSBO way is different from going through an external selling party doesn’t mean every step is different.

You’ll still, of course, want to have your home inspected and appraised. This will help ensure two things: one, that your home is in proper condition and doesn’t require any unknown repairs, and two, that your home is properly valued. These two steps are crucial for ensuring that the mobile home selling process goes as smoothly as possible.

It goes without saying, too, that you’ll need to ensure you’re familiar with the level of paperwork involved on the financial and legal side of things when selling your mobile home. The last thing you want to have happen is have the selling process held up because you accidentally used the wrong form!

Can You Buy Property Before You Buy a Mobile Home?

You’re thinking about buying a mobile home, and you’re picturing your dream home in your mind. Large bedrooms, luxury countertops, the works.

But, wait a minute. Have you taken a minute to think about the land under your mobile home?

Homebuyers looking into mobile homes have to consider whether they’ll buy one on private land, or one in a land-lease community. However, for many homebuyers-to-be, that begs the question of whether they can buy the land before they buy a mobile home.

In this blog post, we’ll go over some of the basics of buying a mobile home on private property, the implications of buying land for a mobile home, and how that impacts when you should buy the land.

Basics of Mobile Homes on Private Property

Like we mentioned earlier, you’ll come across many mobile homes that sit on private property. This is compared to manufactured homes in communities, where you’ll have your own home in a community of other manufactured homes. You can read more about the benefits of mobile home communities in the MHVillager.

There are also benefits to owning a mobile home on your own private land. For one – privacy. You can have as much land as you want, and provided you meet local zoning ordinances you can install your own fence, deck, patio, or other outdoor extensions to your mobile home to your desired specifications.

Of course, this means you can take charge of your landscaping, too. Want to plant a row of bushes right outside your home? Most likely, if you own your mobile home on private property, there’s no one to ask but yourself…or maybe your significant other if you don’t want to end up in the doghouse.

Can You Buy Them Separately?

Yes. You do not have to buy a mobile home and land together, though many choose to go this route. You are also able to buy the mobile home and land in separate transactions.

MHVillage offers a couple of different ways to go about finding a mobile home on land. First, you can search for manufactured homes for sale on private property using our “location type” filter. For those homes, you’ll work with the seller to facilitate the transfer of ownership for both the land and the home.

Or, you can also look for homes on MHVillage that must be moved onto your own land, in case you have land that you already own, using that same “location type” filter.

If you currently own a mobile home that can be moved to a new site, you could also buy land that you can move your home to. While this isn’t as common these days, as many manufactured homes rest permanently on their home site, it’s still very possible to have a mobile home moved.

How Do You Buy Land and Home Separately?

For some, it may be preferable to buy the mobile home separately from the land if they don’t buy them together. Here are a few possible scenarios:

A homebuyer already owns private land, and wants to move a new or pre-owned manufactured home onto it
A homebuyer already owns the manufactured home, and is looking for a plot of land to move the home to
From a dealer, a homebuyer may purchase a mobile home to move to land that will be bought in a separate transaction
Or, a buyer may find the home and land together on MHVillage to purchase from the existing owner

Now, it’s time to answer the question we titled this blog after: can you buy your own private land before you buy the mobile home?

The answer is yes. You could easily buy the land in a separate transaction if you wanted. This also means you’d give yourself additional time to prep the land for siting a mobile home.

Land preparation involves a few things. First, you’d need to ensure that it’s properly graded according to federal, state, and local regulations.

This involves making sure it can properly move drainage away from the home site, as well as verifying you have access to well and septic or city water and sewer, electricity, and internet access and phone service. If your land doesn’t already have a driveway, you’ll need to have one built or installed as well.

You may need to undergo some excavation work to get all of your utilities in place, and the land must also have a foundation installed.

So, it may actually be beneficial to have your own private land before you buy a manufactured home.

Can You Buy Them Together?

Yep! As mentioned above, it’s completely possible to buy both a mobile home and private land as a package. When you’re looking for mobile homes on MHVillage, you can filter your search for homes on private land.
