OCTOBER POLL: BUILD YOUR OWN OR BUY IT BUILT?
October 16th, 2008 by Excel TeamFile Under: General
Just like a site-built home, there are a few different ways to make your modular dream come true. You can either build your own modular home on a plot of land you already own or you can buy a modular home that is already built. There are advantages to both scenarios, but the choice is yours!
That’s the topic of this month’s poll. Would you build a modular home on land you already own (or will own) or would you purchase a modular home that is already built? Feel free to sound off on the right.
Of course, there are pros and cons of each. In purchasing a modular home that is already built, you have the luxury of being able to move in right away, but the disadvantage of having no control over the location of the house and its design (unless you decide to do some building and remodeling).
By purchasing your own land and building a modular home on it, you can choose a parcel of land wherever you’d like and consult with a builder to select and customize a home that suits your needs. Of course, this option does require more time, as the process of preparing the plot of land and building the modular home can take a few months.
But no matter which option you choose, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing that you’re living in a modular home, which is stronger and more energy efficient than most standard built homes!

Not sure where to direct this question, so I’ll try here. We would like to know from customers past and future……….Q; What if a sales office doesn’t have a model home to look at,…….. rather off site homes that the builder has completed and sold and can be viewed with a days notice. Do you feel the builder is less vested in the homes he is distributing ,do you compare to the builders that have many models and feel they are not as reputable or would your prefer to see completed homes and speak with the owner? What % just drive by because they see no model homes ? Jim Leach
