Are modular homes worth it?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/custom-modular-homes-offer-more-options.htm">Modular homes</a> can be a great investment, especially for those who find the prices of stick-built real estate too high. Modular homes are usually much more affordable because they’re mass-manufactured and then assembled on-site or delivered mostly assembled. If they’re installed properly and by professionals, they can last for between 50 and 100 years, potentially making them an outstanding investment.</p></div>

Q: Do modular homes go up in value?

• <div><p>Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a custom home and a spec home?

• <div><p>A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-build-custom-home.htm">Custom homes cost</a> more and take longer to build.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to build a modular home?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/modular-home-cost.htm">cost to build a modular home</a> is around <b>$270,000</b>, and most modular homes total between <b>$180,000 and $360,000</b>. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:</p><ul><li><p>Number of bedrooms and bathrooms</p></li><li><p>Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling</p></li><li><p>Type of foundation</p></li><li><p>Utility connections</p></li><li><p>Cost of building permits</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
