Trying to Value a 1999 Golden West Oakwood Manufactured Home
Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2005 2:23 am
Greetings!
First of all, thanks for this forum.
My husband and I are interested in the subject house, model BOM-3723. The brochure, which is more 'fluff' than anything else, describes the home as a "Family Dream Home". The dimensions are 27' x 66', 1782 approximate square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, with some upgrades. The house is situated in Coos Bay, Oregon (ZIP code 97420). It sits on a hill, facing the bay and ocean, so it would receive some inclement weather. We understand from the seller the house was built in 1999 and placed in April 2000 on a foundation and has not been moved.
We'd like to learn as much about this model as possible (such as whether the model was built to withstand the weather of a Coastal town) so we can decide whether to put down an offer on this home.
The seller told us this home was manufactured by Golden West, model name Oakwood. I have not, however, been able to find anything that matches that description, nor the model number, by searching the Web. I understand Clayton bought Golden West and I went to that site, but didn't find this floor plan there. I emailed Clayton asking for info on this model, but have not heard back from them.
Many thanks, in advance, for your kind assistance.
Sincerely,
JulieAnn Smith
