Tony LaRue was recently retired and ready to move to a southern climate to enjoy his golden years. He'd had enough of shoveling snow. He and his wife wanted a quality built new home that wouldn't require a lot of maintenance, they wanted a nice view and they had a budget. Fortunately, manufactured homes in California are a popular option, or they might have been out of luck. After discovering that builders were asking upwards of a million dollars for most properties that interested them, they turned to the possibility of mobile homes. California still has beautiful lots available at reasonable prices, and if you take the traditionally built house out of the equation, new home ownership on a budget is actually a possibility.
The LaRues located a lot that overlooked the Pacific Ocean. It was a good size, fully serviced, on stable ground and affordable. What priced it out of their range was the prospect of dealing with the custom homebuilders who seemed to have no idea that new home sales were tanking. Worried about being priced out of the market, they read about the Factory Expo Home Center Advantage and decided to look into the possibility of manufactured homes. California building codes are strict, but the mobile homes California residents buy meet or exceed the quality and safety levels of homes built using traditional onsite methods. Strict US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) codes ensure that manufactured homes in California can withstand anything nature throws at them as well as any other house can.
Tony called 1-800-405-2876 to get the location of the Factory Home Center nearest the lot and he and his wife went on the factory tour. After seeing the climate controlled construction floor, trained assembly crew who worked together on homes as a team instead of rotating around from site to site and the attention to detail, the LaRues were convinced to go with manufactured homes. California residents are thinking the same way, in increasing numbers.
After buying the lot, the only thing left was choosing the model. Back to Factory Expo where they could tour the mobile homes California buyers prefer, in person. They picked out a three-bedroom model with a nice porch for appreciating the ocean view, along with luxury touches like a fireplace and spa bathroom. For the LaRues, retirement is looking sunny, comfortable and affordable.
About The Author:
When Tony LaRue decided to escape the harsh winters of Michigan and started looking at properties in California, he nearly gave up based on the cost of building his dream house. Then he discovered manufactured homes. California is the perfect location for this option. There are beautiful building lots available, but new homebuilders are so used to charging a premium to well-heeled customers that their homes are priced out of reach of many buyers. Manufactured homes in California level the playing field, allowing almost anyone to enjoy an ocean or hilltop view in a luxurious new home.
