Frequently Asked Questions

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

The average cost of a manufactured home in Maryland was $96,200 in 2021 (based on a Census Bureau survey).

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

In Maryland, a manufactured home and a mobile home are the same in terms of their construction. The only difference is in their classification, which is based on the date of their construction. Homes built before June 15, 1976, are classified as mobile homes, while homes built after that date are considered manufactured homes by HUD.

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

One key difference between a modular and manufactured home in Maryland is the building code which they are built to. Manufactured homes are built to federally-set HUD standards while modular homes are built to meet all State, County, and Local requirements that are required of site-built homes. Understanding this distinction is important as it will not only affect the price of the home but it will also impact available financing options as well as the possibility of impacting the resale value of the home.

While the Maryland manufactured home builders above are sound options for a prefab home, they are not the only builders. In Maryland, buyers looking to take advantage of the growing prefab housing market might also want to consider building a modular home in Maryland, container home in Maryland, or tiny home in Maryland. Alternatively, the option exists to build a traditional, site-built house.
