Cost For Modular Homes

The cost for modular homes is one reason people go this route. On average, the cost for a modular home will range around $60 per square foot to start. You will find some homes cost more depending on the features they offer. Most of the time a modular home will cost less than a comparable site built home. If you like the idea of paying less for a home but aren't sure whether or not a modular home is right for you, keep reading. You will learn more about this type of home and what it has to offer.


Modular homes are called such because they are constructed in modules. These modules are made in a factory which means the components that make up your home are not exposed to the outdoors until construction time. Once all the modules, or sections, are built they are put through a rigorous quality control process. From there the sections are shipped to your site and assembled. This takes a lot less time than it takes to build a traditional house. If you are worried that modular homes aren't stable, don't be. They are actually placed on permanent foundations such a basement for example.

The average modular home can be built in as little as four months. These homes are customizable, which means you can have them built to your specifications. For example, one trend in the industry is that of the green home. You can have your modular home built with environmentally friendly features like bamboo flooring, solar panels and other eco conscious components. Modular homes are just as beautiful and spacious as site built homes, and look identical to them. They are not to be confused with mobile homes which are transported in one piece to the site location.

The cost for modular homes is almost always lower than the same type of site built home. If a modular home interests you, the first step is to visit a manufacturer in your area. There are likely several because modular homes are popular these days. You will be able to tour a demonstration home and learn more about the benefits of these homes. If you decide to go modular you will also need a builder to construct your home, and a mortgage lender to finance your home. The process is very similar to buying a site built home except less expensive and less time consuming on average.
