High-Quality Affordable Manufactured Homes For Sale in Land-Lease Communities

Why Manufactured Homes Are the Perfect Choice for Millennials

Posted on by Jordon Rupp
Like many people, the Millennial generation, those born between 1980 – 2000, list “owning a home” as one of their goals for the future. In past decade, however, housing prices have skyrocketed in many areas, and Millennials have a particularly hard time saving enough money to buy a home for many reasons: 
 
  • Many cities now have outpriced potential homeowners. Prices for three-bedroom homes in some larger cities top $400,000. Even if you are taking out an FHA loan, which may require just 4% of a down payment, that’s still $16,000—a large sum for a younger population group that hasn’t had time to build a salary that often comes with years of experience. 
  • Healthcare costs are increasing quickly. While insurance premiums go up, the cost of affordable healthcare ticks upward, and wages are not increasing at anywhere near the same rate. 
  • Student loan payments are spiraling out of control. College graduates are finishing their time at school with both a diploma and as much as $80,000-100,000 in debt. Once they begin the repayment process, there is little money left over to afford their dreams of home ownership. 
 
With so much pressure to get a good job that will pay all of the bills, many people in their 20s and 30s can now turn to manufactured housing as an affordable solution to home ownership.
 
Manufactured Homes Offer Affordable Choices in Desirable Areas 
Manufactured home communities give people the opportunity to buy an affordable home – often less than 60% less than homes in the same area – that’s also in a great location. 
 
If you’re looking for a wonderful location—where you grew up, where the jobs are, where you love spending your recreational time—then manufactured home communities are a great option. These neighborhoods are often near cities, but still within the suburbs, so they are close to main roads, there’s plenty to do nearby, and you’re close to work. 
 
Maybe your home choice hinges on affordability. If you want to buy a home in Pittsburgh, for example, housing can average above $250,000 in many surrounding towns. In the UMH community of Cranberry Village, however, a 1,450 sq. ft. home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms is less than $79,900 plus taxes and fees. It’s also in a bustling suburban center that’s surrounded by shopping, dining, and entertainment—and just 20 minutes to downtown Pittsburgh. 
 
Why Wait to Buy a Home?
Manufactured home communities are often land lease properties. Owners buy the home and then lease the land the home is on, which will keep your housing costs down even more.
 
If you’re concerned as a Millennial that the housing market will force you to choose between furthering your education, starting a family, or buying a beautiful home, your solution is with UMH manufactured communities. UMH Properties owns 100 manufactured home communities throughout seven states in the United States. There are many options for a three-bedroom, two bathroom home that provide comfort and affordability. Call or contact us to learn more.

Five Ways to Make the Most of Your Manufactured Home

Posted on by Jordon Rupp

When you own a manufactured home, you've got a unique set of challenges to consider. Being mindful of your space makes all the difference, so consider these points for the maintenance and continued welfare of your home.

Keep the Outside Pristine

It might seem like a huge hassle to regularly wash the outside of your house, but it's not nearly as difficult or time consuming as you think. A simple trip to the local hardware store to rent a power washer for use on the exterior can restore the shine in no time.

Stop Ceiling Stains

In more enclosed spaces, there's a higher chance that you'll develop water and smoke stains on the ceiling earlier than you might have expected. Purchase some stain-blocking primer in a neutral color to coat the ceiling tiles, and you'll find it looks better for longer.

Fixture Woes

You'd be surprised to learn that many of the knobs and faucets sold in hardware stores aren't sized to fit manufactured home appliances. Be mindful of this when you go shopping. If possible, find a local supply store that caters to your specific living situation. A quick Internet search will turn up several options.

Mind Your Materials

Often, your walls will be made of different materials than traditional structures. When you purchase new paint or wallpaper, make sure what you're buying is vinyl-suitable, as this is what you'll most likely find inside your residence.

Tend to the Skirting

When the skirting around the base of your manufactured home isn't properly tended to, you'll find the results in heightened energy bills and all sorts of squeaks throughout the house. Checking it regularly ensures that it's maintained properly, and this can ease your mind about costly repairs down the line.

Living small isn't for everyone, but with a few simple tricks, you’ll find it much easier. These tips are here to help you down the road for years to come.

Decorate Your Manufactured Home for the Fall

Posted on by Jordon Rupp

 

 

 

Summer just ended and Fall 2013 is finally here.  It is time to put away those bright umbrellas, colorful decorations and summery embellishments around your home.  Welcome the fall by decorating your mobile home for the season by adding small touches in every room.

 

Use contrasting colors to add more impact to your displays. Stick with cooler colors like blue and green to add a pop of color and compliment the fall shades of red, orange and yellow.

 

The beauty of fall is that it is a simpler season.  The simpler the décor, the better.  Add a small touch of fall to your room with a canvas table runner and a vase full of marigolds, sunflowers or chrysanthemums.

 

With Halloween around the corner, make sure you bring out those jack-o-lantern skills.  Personalize your pumpkins, and rather than carve out scary faces into them, go for a more refined look with curly, elegant handwriting and shapes.

 

Highlight the neutral colors in your mobile home with pops of red, yellow and orange. Add some deep red throws, throw pillows, frames and vases.

 

Decorate your home with nature.  Decorate glass containers with dried leaves, acorns and twigs.

 

Go ahead and update your artwork collection with a few seasonal prints.  Again, this is going with the mood and color of the season, adding gorgeous fall hues to your home.

 

Slowly transform your manufactured home from the bright summer vacation feel to a subtler, relaxed autumn atmosphere by adding simple touches here and there.  It doesn’t take much to get your home fall-ready; just add some red and orange hues, leaves and pumpkins and a cinnamon scented candle and you are in business.

The Truth About Accent Walls in Your Home

Posted on by Jordon Rupp

There are plenty of ways to make a small space feel bigger! Solution number 1: embrace accent walls.

While light colors are definitely the way to make a space feel larger than it actually is, sometimes they lack excitement. The key is to work with one wall. Yes, just one. This technique can accentuate a room without being too overpowering. While leaving the other three walls a light, neutral color, the room is still functional and spacious.

Here are some options:

1.     Traditional Paint: choose your color of choice and get going!

2.     For the traditionalists, wallpaper is also a great option.

3.     Or for the crafty DIY-lovers, there are plenty of techniques out there to create your own painted patterns.
