What are modular homes?

Modular homes are houses that are constructed, shipped, and assembled in large pieces called modules.  They are usually assembled section by section using giant cranes which put the sections of the house together like giant Lego blocks. A modular home is an affordable housing solution for you and your family.  They are not the same as mobile homes or manufactured homes.

What about financing my modular home?

There are many options open to you when financing a modular home and they are quite similar to those of a site-built home. Most mortgage companies now make financing a modular home easier than ever and some even have divisions specific to modular home financing.  Modular homes can be financed for up to 30 years just like site-built homes and most lenders offer the same interest rates for site-built or modular. During the financing stage of your modular home purchase, home buyers can expect to proceed through the application and underwriting stages just as they would for any other new home purchase.

How long does it take to build a modular home?

While it takes several weeks to build a modular home, the time it takes depends heavily on the design and manufacturer you choose.  Modular home builders generally employ a stable work force, climate controlled work, and take about a third of the time to build as compared with a traditional site built home, all allowing for a quicker move in date. Remember, since modular homes are built in an indoor factory that means there’s never a rain delay in production.
