Selling a Mobile Home a helpful consumer guide!
Depending on whom you ask, you can hear a lot of different explanations on the difference between a modular home and a mobile home.
I hope this section can give you an insight on the difference.
Mobile Home: A factory built housing unit built prior to June 15, 1976 before the Housing and Urban Development code came into effect. (example: 1975 singlewide or doublewide home).Manufactured Home: A factory built housing unit built to meet or exceed the Housing and Urban Development code that came into effect June 15, 1976 (example: 1976 singlewide or doublewide home built after June 15th.)
Modular Home: A factory built housing unit that is certified to meet or exceed the state and local building codes where the home is to be permanently installed.
Panelized Home: Factory built housing panels that contain doors, windows, wiring are built to meet or exceed the state and local building codes where the panels are to be assembled on site.
Simply put, mobile homes are built to the national building standard ; whereas modular homes are built to the state & local building codes!
