I am thinking of buying a Palm Harbor home. After looking at differnt modles I picked out a 32x56 Fullhouse. The price is around $60000.00. Any opinion on Palm Harbor?

They...like all other manufacturers build different homes in each of their plants....
A PH from AL is much different than a PH from GA and both are not as well done as a PH from FL...
Most PH homes are sold from company owned sales centers...this lowers the competition between them and allows them to have higher margins and prices...Also..PH makes a large portion of it money on after the sale addons...such as long term insurance and higher finance rates...but...overall they are a healthy company and will be there in the future..

First you should decide what you want in your home...quality, features, size and goodies....measure your pocket book..and find a home that fills this requirement..This PH might well be the home for you..

Then...be sure you shop the extras...insurance, finance, land improvements..all with the same full attention...Buying a home is a long list of purchase decisions..each can vary in price by thousands of dollars..and there are many alternatives available...

You have started on the right path....seeking information...the more information you can find..the happier you will be..Good Luck
