I am curious if you are beginning to see any newly constructed modular homes in your neighborhood?
We saw our first one and was surprised at the speed of building for 2300 sq two story compared to another stick build one on our street. Soon as it was completed, it went pending and sold. Stick build house is more than 3500sq though.

How long did it take for the mod to be designed, ordered, produced in the factory and shipped to the site?
Add that time lapse to the time line.
My brother and his wife purchased a factory built home by Dickinson Homes in Michigan. They are really put together well, everything is square, level, etc. All drywall joints are sealed on both sides, they are insulated perfect. It's really a nice home. They store all the lumber under controlled humidity. I toured the factory and it is amazing how they put it together.
My husband was alerted by one of our community neighborhood response team member. This home was started in early Fall 2023. No idea what the planning took. Soon as it was finished, it was for sale and pending immediately.

I bought a 7-year-old modular home in 2013 for $310k. Based on detailed inspection, it was obviously well-built and used premium materials. Lived there 10 years and sold it for $625k. Buyer is still thrilled, five months later.
But for those who don't know the difference.
"Manufactured" homes are mobile homes that are usually delivered in one or two pieces ( single vs double-wide ), are rather economical, and do not use premium materials.
"Modular" homes have a number of basic pieces built in a factory, usually with premium materials. Those basic "modular" pieces are delivered to the site and assembled/finished in the same way stick-built homes are finished.

Additionally, "manufactured homes" are built to HUD (red tag) manufactured home standards while "modular" homes are built to local building code standards.

Good point. And why one would need a qualified and reputable contractor to do the final assembly and finishing of a modular home. In Virginia where I lived that would be a Class A contractor.
