Modular Homes Rating Guide

It seems there is a new kind of rating guide for those considering a modular home or manufactured home. I did not think it possible until I stumbled across Modular Homes Network website. I am in the process of building a new home and have decided to look into the modular housing industry to find a floorplan and style that will fit our lifestyle. A friend of mine bought a modular home last year and placed it on his property outside New York. I was invited to their home once it was completed and was amazed at how well-built the home was. I could not tell it was a prefab home.

This got me thinking about my own options and my friend told me, he saved over 20% compared to having a GC build it for him. 20% is a lot of money and I told my wife we should look into the modular option. I started searching online and found a number of factories in my area but really had no idea of how these factories rated or compared to each other. I was getting a little frustrated until I found this website by Modular Homes Network, http://www.modularhomesnetwork.com/ModularRatings/modularhomeratingsguide.asp.

According to Modular Homes Network they have been rating both the modular and manufactured housing industry since 1999. They have several new publications they just updated in August of 2009. Their most popular resource guide is called, “Modular Home Ratings Guide”, with over 100-pages of hard hitting facts and comprehensive ratings. In this consumer guide you will learn about the benefits to modular homes and which companies rated best in your area. Plus, you will learn about financing options and how to negotiate with your modular home builder. They offer four publications for one low price of only $49.95.

I purchased this publication for myself and learned a great deal. In a few short hours I learned which modular home companies in my area were rated best. This information was very valuable because it helped me narrowing my search down for our dream home. We concentrated on several factories in our area and based on the rating charts in the book and were able to find a model both my wife and I liked. We toured the modular home factory we decided on to see for ourselves how the homes were constructed and were impressed. Using Modular Homes Network resources I can honestly say we were able to select the right home and save thousands in the process. I estimate that we saved over $7,300 by following the buying tips and suggestions contained in their guides.

My father once said, “A knowledgeable buyer is the best buyer” and he was right. Knowing your options before you buy will guarantee you select the right product at the best possible price. If you’re seriously considering a modular home or a manufactured home these publications are a real time save. I hope this article was helpful and I wish you all the best.
