Is Manufactured Housing Right for Me?

Manufactured homes have come a long way in recent years, and they’re an excellent choice for many buyers. At ECM Homes, we offer homes that are not only affordable, but also built to last with high-quality materials and construction standards. Our homes are energy-efficient, which means lower utility bills and a smaller environmental footprint. Whether you’re looking for a first home, downsizing, or building a second residence, manufactured housing could be the smart solution you’ve been searching for.

Yes! All manufactured homes are built to strict federal HUD codes that ensure quality, safety, and durability.

Absolutely. You can choose from a variety of floor plans, finishes, layouts, and add-ons to create a home that suits your needs.

Most homebuyers can move in within 4–6 foundation months, depending on customization, land prep, and permitting.

Yes, and we can help you find the perfect property or work with land you already own.

Yes—buyers can use FHA, VA, USDA, and conventional loan options. We’ll help you find the best fit.

Before purchasing land for your home, there are a few key factors to consider:

✔ Perk Test: Ensure a perk test is conducted to measure how well the soil absorbs water. This is required if you plan to install a septic system.

✔ Land Survey: A current survey is highly recommended to confirm property boundaries and avoid potential issues.

✔ Zoning & Restrictions: Check for any deed restrictions, covenants, or zoning regulations that may affect your ability to place a home on the property. Some areas have specific rules regarding the types of homes allowed.
Doing this research upfront will help ensure a smooth and hassle-free building process!

The type of foundation required depends on your home’s construction and local regulations. Common foundation options include:

✔ Pier and Beam: The most common option, using concrete piers to support the home while allowing for easy access underneath.

✔ Concrete Slab: A solid, permanent foundation that provides durability and stability.

✔ Basement or Crawl Space: Some areas allow for basements or raised crawl spaces, depending on soil conditions and local codes.

At ECM Homes, we’ll help you determine the best foundation option based on your land, home selection, and building requirements.

Concrete runner foundation costs, built to FHA standards, naturally depend on the size of the home. Two section homes generally average between $8000 & $10,000, three section homes can go upwards of $15,000, depending again on the home size.

We have several lending partners that we work with on a daily basis. They are able to offer a wide range of financing options. Call or visit us at our office and we will help you find the best financing option for you.

Both are built in a factory, but modular homes follow local building codes and are placed on a permanent foundation. Manufactured homes follow HUD codes and offer more flexibility in placement.

Like all real estate, appreciation depends on location, maintenance, and market conditions. Properly maintained homes on owned land can hold or even gain value over time.

Not necessarily. With financing options like FHA or USDA, you may qualify with low or even zero down. Our team can walk you through your options.
