Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average cost of a manufactured home in Idaho?

In 2021, the average cost of a manufactured home in Idaho was $148,000, but with a 21% increase in the cost of manufactured homes in the Western U.S over the last two years, the estimated cost for a single-wide home is $164,000 and $198,440 for a double wide home in the U.S. in 2023.

What is the difference between a manufactured home and a mobile home in Idaho?

Although they are both factory-built homes, the distinction between a manufactured home and a mobile home in Idaho lies in their construction date. Mobile homes were constructed before June 15, 1976, while homes built after that date are considered manufactured homes by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

What is the difference between a modular and manufactured home in Idaho?

While some may confuse the terms, there is a significant difference between a modular and manufactured home in Idaho. Manufactured homes are built to nationally-set building codes and are regulated by the HUD, whereas modular homes in Idaho must comply with the same state, county, and local building codes as site-built homes. While both options can sometimes be customized and offer a range of benefits, this difference may impact the financing options available to homebuyers, as well as the home's resale value over time. It's essential to understand this distinction when considering which type of home to purchase in Idaho.

What are alternative options to working with the Idaho manufactured home builders above?

While the Idaho manufactured home builders we listed are good options to consider, there are other options available for those looking to build a new home in Idaho. Prefab construction options like modular homes in Idaho, container homes in Idaho, and tiny homes in Idaho are affordable and customizable, and offer a range of unique benefits to homebuyers.
