No, only if you use duct tape to keep from farting in polite company.

Huh?




Modular Homes, another term for a fancy mobile home.

http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Myrtle-Beach_SC/type-mfd-mobile-home?sby=3

A list of mobile homes available in the Myrtle Beach Area. ingle wides can go for as much as 100,000 or more. Double wides increase the costs. Even porches can add a higher value.

The assumed theory is that people who live in a mobile home are trashy, rednecks or druggies. Fact is there are many retirement communities in the south that are beautifully maintained, many are gated, and its what many retired people find they can enjoy after selling their homes up north.

What the smart lady said.

After having seen what rednecks say about non-rednecks and what non-rednecks say about rednecks, count me in with the rednecks. Nothing is wrong with a mobile home and the standard cracks about country music simply make me laugh. I adore country music from "Harper Valley PTA" and "Girls Lie Too" to "Kiss This" and "Rose Garden".

I suppose it's just like the "all rap music is about abusing women and busting caps" attitude.

I have heard of modular construction, but it's not just a fancy name for a mobile home.

Modular construction means that rather than constructing the building on-site the major components are prefabricated and shipped to the building site.

It is almost impossible to tell a quality modular home from one that was constructed on-site.  And unlike mobile homes, they are subject to the same building code requirements as any other new construction.

I agree that there are many nice mobile home parks.  There are a few in my area.  Gated communities with all the amenities, pools, tennis courts, clubhouses, and direct ocean access.  They are used by a lot of retirees and snowbirds who come down for the winter. 

But the prices on those homes are usually in the $50k-$80k range, just like the mobile homes in your listings.  I have no idea why that real estate agency is including modular construction in a mobile home category, unless that is how Myrtle Beach zoning laws classify them.  Most communities treat them as they would a home constructed on-site.

Look at some of the pictures in your first link.  Would you classify this as just a fancy mobile home?

Some people do set out with that as the plan. It doesn't make much sense to me either. For others though, they were orinially planning on a custom built home, but didn't do enough homework to understand the costs of wells, and grading permits, and Lord help them on what it can take to get electricity strung to the beautiful plot of land. By the time they are able to start building, trucking in a manufactured home is the best they can afford.

It also means a cost of about $80.00 to $100.00 a square foot for "modular" homes, we call them pre-fab here, as opposed to $175.00 and up for a custom home, and as far as comparison..there is none. McDonald's versus Le Bernadin. Seriosuly.

A custom built home done by an architect and general contractor is so far above a modular that we don't even try and compete when bidding if a client suggests they are pricing us as well as a pre-fab. Can't do it. It's great for a first home if you can't finance a custom, but no good general contractor can ethically enter into a bidding contest with a modular home. I have been in this business since 1989,my ex-husband is an amazing builder/general contractor and I still do his sales and marketing and even in this economy we can't construct a high end home with quality details for anywhere near the price of a modular but they will never ever hold the resale value either. Apples and oranges. That big box you linked has zero individuality no trim, no returns, blah. Big box.  It's a great starter home I suppose but it looks like a zillion other 2 story ranch designs in the book at the checkout at Home Depot.

This is one we completed last year. It's not possible to compare the two.

A lot more affordable than the 4 or 5 lots it would take to build it on in CA!
