The Manufactured Housing Forums

Why are mobile home prices never posted? It's frustrating. It makes shopping a pain, and then you have 12 salesmen who are worse than used car salesmen blowing up your phone. Traditional house prices are posted; why can't mobile home prices?? I am seeking a new mobile home for some property I have in the country, and it's impossible to locate the cheapest new mobile home on the market due to prices not being posted.

just ask what they paid for it some people dont want to flex

Customization and Variability: Mobile homes often offer a range of customization options, such as different floor plans, finishes, and features. This customization can result in a wide range of prices, making it difficult to provide a one-size-fits-all price tag. Additionally, prices may vary based on location, dealer, and other factors.
Negotiation: Unlike traditional houses, where prices are often fixed or at least publicly listed, mobile home prices may be subject to negotiation. Dealers may prefer to engage potential buyers directly to discuss pricing options based on their specific needs and circumstances.
Dealer Preferences: Some dealers may prefer not to publicly list prices in order to encourage potential buyers to contact them directly. This allows dealers to engage with customers directly, potentially offering personalized assistance and guidance throughout the purchasing process.

One reason mobile home costs are not typically posted is due to the variability in pricing based on factors such as size, location, condition, and amenities, making it challenging to provide a standardized cost.

Normally, real estate sellers will not disclose real estate prices because they change over time. Besides, they will also be able to change flexibly depending on customer segments and audiences.
