Just like traditional housing there will always be an inventory of used mobile homes. The question is, are they as reliable as new
manufactured homes? Just like any other purchase you make, you need to make sure you are doing your due diligence beforehand and ensuring that the home is going to be a safe and reliable option for you and your family.

Since 2019 the market started to see more and more demand for used manufactured homes. Many individuals or “ home flippers” started
flooding the market buying and selling used homes. The danger to this is many of them were making repairs to plumbing, electrical, roofing, flooring..etc and not properly performing the work, but instead cutting corners and only looking at the upside of getting paid. The state does not require these individuals to give a warranty, but they also do not allow them to sell more than two homes a year without being licensed which many of them sneak past.

A dealership can be a safe option to look for used inventory due to the fact that they are required by the state to sell homes that are habitable as well as provide a 60 day habitability warranty for all used housing they sell. However, not just any dealership will carry used
inventory. Your best chance at finding these homes and great deals are finding a smaller independent dealership like South Central Homes. Many bigger dealerships tend to focus more on newer homes whereas dealerships like us need to start out somehow in the industry due to limits on capital.
