Repeated studies show that manufactured homes appreciate under the same circumstances as site-built homes when:

• They are in a good location.
• They are properly maintained.

Study by Michigan University

• Manufactured homes, like site-built homes, can be viewed as an investment.
• Manufactured homeowners can build equity just like owners of site-built homes.

Study by East Carolina University

• Manufactured homes appreciate at comparable rates as site-built homes when taxed as real property.

With proper upkeep, maintenance and pride in ownership, manufactured homes can appreciate just as much if not more than site-built homes.
