What is the Life Span of a Manufactured Home?

Purchasing a manufactured home has many distinct advantages. A normal home-buying search takes a potential buyer across a community and back just to find the right home. With manufactured homes, almost all of the information is at the retailer's facility.

Building a home has a variety of options.

Features

Buying a manufactured home gives the buyer the freedom of choice for floor plans, carpeting and even appliance positioning within the individual rooms. Also, many retailers have homes built on-site so buyers can walk in and be able to visualize the home according to their needs and wants.

Time Frame

For a well-built, reasonably maintained manufactured home, a buyer can expect an average lifespan of 60 years. The materials they are built with must meet or exceed the regulations set forth by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Benefits

Another advantage in purchasing a manufactured home is with the new material construction, energy savings can be substantial. Compared with site-built homes that can settle over the years creating drafts, a manufactured home is new and has the material technology to stave off energy loss.
