How to get that stunning home off of Instagram and on your land.  

We’ve all been there before: checking out our Instagram page and seeing a thumbnail that stops you in your tracks. It’s a beautiful Champion home, and it’s got everything you could ask for: the right number of bedrooms, the right floor plan, the perfect kitchen.

Interestingly enough, the question we get asked most after “What’s the price of a manufactured home?” is “How do I get this home in my area?” The manufactured housing industry is very much geographically tailored, and this applies to site-built homes as well. Think about it:  

  • You’re more likely to see a brownstone home in New York City than Los Angeles 
  • You’re more likely to see a farmhouse or cottage in the countryside than the city 
  • You’re more likely to see Spanish or Mediterranean style homes along the Southwest coast 

This is because certain building requirements exist in particular areas depending on that area’s climate, proximity to bodies of water, population density and more. This equally applies to factory-built housing. Décor tases vary by region and our manufacturing facilities build and design to meet their regional demand. Whether you’re looking into manufactured or modular home options, knowing what’s built in facilities near you is the best way to get a home that fits your needs on your land. To do that, you can visit our website and perform a “Find a Home” search.

The Buckhorn FH68 is built in our York, NE facility and available to surrounding areas. 

While you might feel bummed to find the specific model you were interested in on Facebook isn’t available in your area, chances are there are tons of similar homes that ARE. Since Champion is one of America’s largest manufactured homebuilders, we’ve got amazing options across the country. That means if you liked that gorgeous 3 bed/2 bath home on Instagram, there’s an equally gorgeous 3 bed/2 bath being built and delivered to your region.  

The Cypress Manor 5644a is built in our Lake City, FL facility and available to surrounding areas. 

Where Do I Go to Find That Home? 

If you see a home that is giving you the warm & fuzzies inside but isn’t available near you? Be sure to talk to an independent local retailer who can direct you to similar models that will leave you feeling just as satisfied. 

And there you have it! Now the next time you see a Champion Home that makes your heart skip a beat, you’ll know what to do next!

What is a Manufactured Home?

Here are all the details you’ll need to begin your manufactured home experience

You might be seeing a lot of media about the benefits of manufactured homes and why you should consider one if you’re in the homebuying market.

The first thing you should know about manufactured homes is that they’re factory-built. This means our teams work indoors, in climate-controlled facilities, with no dependence on weather fluctuations like your typical site-built home. Because manufactured homes are factory-built, they provide assurance for details such as:

  • Quality control
  • Weather-protected construction materials
  • Construction speed
  • Energy-efficient structures
  • Less waste

So, you’ve likely heard manufactured homes referred to as mobile homes in your day-to-day conversations.  That’s a historical reference that has changed from the past perception.

Now, let’s move on to why we call them “manufactured” homes. From the early 50’s to the mid 80’s manufactured homes were referred to as single-wide and double-wide mobile homes. In 1976, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) federal building code was developed to bring oversite to the growing mobile home industry and that lead to the new product type “Manufactured Homes.” The (HUD) federal building code continues to evolve and is updated by various government committees on a regular basis to ensure all the latest standards regarding safety, energy, structural integrity, and indoor air quality are maintained at a high level.

Why Should You Care? Manufactured homes offer many advantages, including:

  • Affordability
  • An independent engineering plan review and inspection process
  • Governed by the federal HUD code who sets quality standards for manufactured housing
  • Insulated for the right climate, wind and seismic criteria
