Where
can I get a price on a home?
Since there are so many options to choose from,
we suggest setting an appointment to visit with a sales person to
better define the home features and options. From that visit, a firm
quote can be provided for the home.
1. Go through this site's floor plans and print
out a few you like.
2. Review the homes' standard features and options and determine which
are important to you.
3. Take the floor plans and features information to a Retailer in
the MH-Quote.com network. Allow a sales person to identify several
choices for you to select from. A quote can be provided thereafter.
If it takes more than 15 minutes to start quoting approximate prices,
find a new Retailer.
What is the price of a new home?
The following information are "ballpark" estimates
only. Price will vary based on features, options and region. Consult
a Retailer for a more accurate price.
· Small, single-wide home, 600-800 sq. ft., economy construction:
<$20,000.00
· Large single-wide home, 1050-1150 sq. ft., mid-grade construction:
$32,000
· Small double wide home, 1250-1350 sq. ft., mid-grade construction:
$40,000
· Large double/triple wide home, 1800-1900 sq. ft., mid-grade construction:
$60,000
· Largest double/triple wide, 2000-2200+ sq. ft., high-grade construction:
$80,000+
How much are used homes?
NADA publishes a manual on manufactured housing
prices. The manual is more complex than the corresponding one for
cars, but it does exist. Any manufactured housing professional should
be able to provide a reading from that guide. A second option may
be to request an appraisal from a certified appraiser. We currently
do not provide these services. If users indicate sufficient interest,
we may provide these in the future.
How do I find a Retailer near me?
MH-Quote.com lists their preferred retailers
around the country. In markets where we have not yet selected a preferred
retailer, we provide a Yellow Pages search feature that allows you
to find a retailer of interest. We also suggest you subscribe to our
Newsletter since we announce all recent additions to the MH-Quote.com
network.
Where can I find information on manufacturers
not listed at MH-Quote.com?
Try using any major search engine on the Internet
for the manufacturer of interest or use the Yellow Pages and contact
them directly.
How do I get information on a particular model
of home?
We recommend that you contact the Retailer
that had the floor plan available. If the floor plan was from a retailer
outside your market, print off the floor plan and take it to your
local dealer.
How do I get a catalog of your floor plans?
MH-Quote.com does not make printed floor plan
catalogs available. Please contact a retailer regarding floor plan
information.
Where can I get replacement parts for my home?
Manufactured homes have
many parts that are not available in most building supply centers.
To ensure that the parts you buy are compatible with your home, we
suggest you visit MHSupply.com.
Where can I find the manufacturer of my manufactured
home?
We suggest that you search for the "data plate"
which will contain the manufacturer's name, address, style of the
home, and other pertinent information about the home. The data plate
is permanently affixed to the home near the electrical circuit breaker
box. Other locations include kitchen cabinet doors or bedroom closets
- usually out of view to most residents. Data plates have been required
on HUD homes since June 1976.
What is PB plumbing pipe and where can I find
more information concerning PB pipe claims?
Between the late 1970s to the early 1990s,
polybutylene (PB) plumbing pipe was installed in many manufactured
homes. Subsequent problems with leaking PB plumbing systems brought
on a class action suite against several manufacturers and distributors
of these systems. (PB pipe can be identified as the blue pipe used
in your yard to bring water to your home from the water meter, or
the gray plastic pipe within your home that connects with gray or
copper fittings.) If you are experiencing leaks and wish file a claim,
you may contact The Consumer Plumbing Recovery Center (CPRC) at (800)
356-3496 or the U.S. Brass Trust at 1-800-622-0130. There will be
a recording that will give you the information on how to file a claim.
