Bought mine new in 2014 for $48,000 from Clayton Homes. Not a model off the lot, we customized it throughout. I couldn't have afforded $80-90 😱 But, with the demand so high for affordable housing, the county says it's now worth $61,000. Good to know if decide to sell👍
My parents brought a mobile home, but they had the skirting, bricked in. It has saved so much on the electricity.
I would love to do that! Maybe one day. We still have so much to do so we have to watch the cost. Thank you for watching!
Love it! Very informative video! Thanks for sharing! 🤩
Wishing you a wonderful life in your new home
Thank you so much! ❤️😊
Long gone are the days when a mobile home was very affordable.. 3 yrs ago they were about 80 to 90 thousand... I have a 2022 and mine was 202,000 but they took 7000 off because it was a demo... let's not get into all the other cost, it was a big eye opener for me... so im glad you did this video so people will know mobile homes are almost as expensive as built homes..
You are so right...the prices are crazy! We looked at new mobile homes also and were in shock! We were so glad to find this one used. But now when I hear people say "oh they JUST put a mobile home on their property" like it's no big deal, I want to scream. People have NO idea what all is involved. It's a lot of work just getting it moved and put back together right. I just wanted other people to have some idea of what they're getting in to. Thanks for watching! ❤️😊
Very informative and helpful. Thank you.
This is BEAUTIFUL!!!
You did a good job!!😁
This was a lot of help. I just sold my house in N. Mississippi & am planning on downsizing to a singlewide mobile home. I had/do have a lot of questions about setting up a new mobile home & what all is/what will be involved. My main problem is finding a piece of land to put a mobile home on. You too got that double wide for a great price compared to average prices that I'm seeing all over the internet for new ones. They are double if not triple what they used to cost.
You are exactly right! We looked at new ones in 2021 and when we decided to go this route in 2022 the same models had gone up $20,000. We were in shock! We also priced modular homes, talked with multiple sales people about having one custom made. They were upwards of 200k -300k because the housing market was so high, it was driving their demand up. We were very blessed to find this one used!
Thank you for this HELPFUL!
You are so welcome! 😊❤️
Your video definitely convinced me to go ahead and move forward.. this is very detailed and I love it
What a wholesome comment section! The video was very informative, thank you! I'll be purchasing a manufactured home soon and this gave me a very good idea of what will be expected.
You are so very welcome! I'm glad it's of some help to you. 😊❤️

Well that's a thought! Maybe I should do that. Thanks for watching and I'm glad it helps. 😊 ❤️
Great Imformation ❤
❤ Great information and the Land is Beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing, good luck with the new transition ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️😊
Thx for sharing
Thank you for breaking everything down. After watching another video of modular expenses, I started thinking of manufactured homes. Did not realize ALL the expenses! I’ll have to make a list of all this expenses & compare.
We considered a modular as well. We were in contact with a manufacturer and were real close to ordering one with our own specifications. My husband had a co-worker who had recently purchased a modular...and he was so excited and hooked us up with his sales person. Everything went downhill after his purchased. He ended up having a horrible experience. I'm so glad we waited and went with a mobile home. We saved a lot of money going this route. There's a lot to consider with either option. Yes..make a list and do your research! Good luck!
Awesome 👍 thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. 😊❤️
Renee your home is lovely! And of course, as I am MS neighbor, I think the land is gorgeous!!! What a blessing to be by your family!!
Thank you so much! It truly is a blessing. Thank you for watching! Did you check out my other video that shows our remodel? If you haven't make sure to watch it.❤😊
@@Mobilehomerenovation I have watched some but not sure if I have watched them all! I’ll binge watch them soon!!
Great information!
Thanks! 😊❤️
I am not subscribed to your channel, but, I thank you letting everyone know that it is not cheap to set up a mobile home! You did an excellent job break everything down! God bless you and your ! Enjoy your new surroundings! Enjoy watching your grandchildren grow and be everything that you envisioned them to be!
Thank you for the sweet comment and for watching. God bless you and your family!. ❤️😊
Thank you from TENNESSEE.
Thank you for watching in TN! 😊❤
This is the first video from your channel that I have watched and I really enjoyed it. My husband and I are also looking into doing exactly what you all have done so it was kismet that I should come across your video. It is so informative I just can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Thank you
You and your husband have a beautiful home and the fact that you live so close to your grand baby is just the Cherry on top isn’t it?
Good luck in your home. Sending you best wishes for many many years of happiness there
You are the sweetest! Thank you for watching and for the sweet comments. We contemplated this move for the longest. My daughter had been asking us for years to move near them. It's truly a blessing to be near family and we really do like our home! God bless you and your family in your endeavor. Check out my other video of the full tour of our home. You can see what all we did to ours after the move. Again thanks for watching! 😊❤️
Great info ❤
Thank you!
Thanks for this helpful video and you are so lucky to live near family. Your home is beautiful. I’m also moving to be near family in a month and looking to set up a manufactured home also.
So excited for you! Thank you for the sweet comment and I'm so glad the info helped you. Wishing you blessings in your move! ❤️😊
I love your sharing! I wish more people would share something like this. We are in the PNW prices are higher but all the side costs are what newbies need to know about. That would be me! We hope to set up a modular home. We own the land with power and water already on it. However all the permits, etc. Don't know what to expect. Thanks again
Thank you for watching and for the sweet comment! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck to you in your new venture! I’m so glad the video helped. God Bless!
Thanks for the ballpark video....
You're welcome!
That is cheap to have your home moved, we are in Georgia and we called to see about getting our double wide moved not even a hundred 100 ft to get it up on the higher part of our property because we are in a flood zone and our house is on the lower part of the property ( we didn't know about the flooding issue when we purchased the property) and the price we got was 10,500 -12,000 just to move it 100ft on our own property.
That's crazy! We know we got a good price. The previous owner recommended who we ended up using. I think they knew each other and he was doing them a favor. How ever we got it moved for that price I am thankful! Thanks for watching!
Sounds like they didn't want the job so they priced it way out there. How many places did you ask? It is time consuming and labor intensive, but $10k is way over the top. Would there be things you could do to lower the cost? Like taking off the skirting, unhooking water, sewer, electric with subcontractors. Of course they have to split the house and it takes 2 sets of tires, wheels, etc... I assume you have the new location prepped and ready to set up the house...
@@marhlfld1 we called every company that would come to our area and I don't know what all was covered in there pricing because my husband was the one on the phone with them but they all were booked up for awhile with moving other mobile homes. But my double wide is on a block foundation. And I know my husband could unhook a lot of the stuff himself.
@@marhlfld1 sorry I'm just seeing this comment! My husband had to be on the scene when they were unhooking everything. I think he did take the skirting down if I'm not mistaken. And he did take the electrical box down. Didn't disconnect it just moved it. We called several and this guy was definitely the cheapest plus like I said the previous owner had already talked to him. They were thinking about moving the home to property they owned in another town so she had already discussed a price with him for that but ended up selling.
This is beautiful, thank God for family❤
You started with a Winston. That's like starting with the best of the best.
We did our research! Winston are very well made. We were fortunate to find this one used and it's a Wind Zone 2 which is a plus. Thanks for watching! 😊
Thank you
You're welcome!
Hi neighbor, I'm from Hattiesburg, MS😊
Love Your Home 🏡
Thank you! ❤️ 😊
Great video. I love knowing 'real' costs. Thanks for sharing.
Question: Was the land subdivided or is your plot still part of your son-in-laws property?
It's still part of theirs. If they ever want to sell we'll deal with that at that time. We'd more than likely move when they move but I think they are here for a good while. Thank you for watching and for the comment! ❤️😊
Ty for taking the time in giving us your POV and being real. I'm 40 and I'm thinking about going the Manufactured route. Cost of homes are just to much that honestly it's just not worth it. Although the only issue I'm running into is finding a good piece of land and b/c I work in the heart of Atlanta, as you might already know land cost is a bit high, but the further I go, the better. I do have one question which I hope you can help answer. What are your thoughts on Clayton/Buccaneer homes? I've toured a few models and although they look great, I've seen a lot of mixed reviews. God Bless!
Jonathan
I'm glad the video helped! It's been about 2 yrs since we looked but from what I remember Clayton was a well made home. I don't think they have all the bells and whistle some manufacturers put into them but that's just aesthetics. So that part is your personal preference. I heard good things about Clayton being well built. We went on UA-cam and watched a video of how a Winston is made and everything they put into the structure. You could probably do the same with a Clayton. But I will say your set up crew has a lot to do with whether you have problems. If you are buying straight from the manufacturer/dealership you shouldn't have a problem. They should warranty everything and make things right if you have any problems. Of course we purchased used. Also make sure you are there when the trim out crew is there and make sure they do the job to your satisfaction because getting them back out is usually where people have problems. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
God bless you and your family I love your roosters
Your home looks very nice. I especially like the settings its been set up in. I have a question abot the set up. Even when placing a home on a level slab or piece of bare ground why is the home set so high off the ground?
It partly has to do with the elevations of your property and drainage. You of course don't want any water under the home so sometimes the pad has to be built up higher to have proper drainage. But you also have to consider the plumbing pipes under your home. They have to start high on one end under the home and have a gradual slant towards the end of the home where your septic is located. You also want to make sure it's easy to get under your home incase there is ever any settling and there needs to be an adjustment.
Thank you for this informative video. I am looking to sell or rent my current home and live well below my means with smaller children to save for retirement. The costs of everything seems to have drastically increased.
Thank you so much for watching! God bless you in your search to find your new home. 🙏❤️😊
Thank you so much for the info. You solve a mystery for me. It’s clear is not for me. I’m in S E Cali and here everything is expensive and ppl don’t like to work 😂. I need a miracle 😇, but thank you 😊
I'm so glad it helped you! God bless you in whatever you decide to do. 😊❤️
You’ve done a very nice job on your home together. Love the look you gave it 👌. One question though. Did you have to pay for the land to your son or a chunk of money to city on property taxes. 🤷🏻♂️. I’ve been looking for a home like yours but I’m in Canada 🇨🇦 and it’s a lot more here in cost. Double or more your cost. Thks for showing your project. Love it 👍🏻.
We pay what’s called an Ad Valorem tax each year on the home to the county tax accessor. It’s more than what regular property taxes would be, but the taxes in the county we live in are pretty low. I think we are paying about $900 a year. Which is less than half what we were paying on our last stick house for property taxes.
Awesome video. Thanks! How much did it cost for you to clear the trees? I am thinking of purchasing an old mobile home but it is in the forest and I want a vegetable garden and greenhouse. Thanks!
The guy that did our dirt work just pushed them down. He didn't charge us any extra. But we only had one large tree the rest was just overgrowth. My husband cut up several small ones but we still have a large stump and roots in our burn pile towards the back of the property. Thank you for watching! 😊❤️
@@Mobilehomerenovation thanks for the reply 😊
Very good information you give here so thank you very much and even though you paid that much you got some service free because family was helping and then there's the land your home sits on Which belongs to your daughter and son in-law so that's another major cost not factored in. I lost My house through a battle with social security disability for a prolonged period of time due to a unethical judge since I finally was approved and told it should have been approved the first time and the judge was put under investigation for ethics violations by the investigative committee for social security disability that reviewed My case and reopened it and over turned his ruling, too late for My house. My older sister offered me to put a small mobile home on a piece of property she owns here in Colorado South of Colorado springs the property is subdivided into many small lots and she has never seen it as she got it as part of her retirement portfolio. I called the county it is in a gave them all the info she had regarding her little lot and asked how much it would be to get all utilities set up to the lot, no room for septic tanks so all would have to be hooked up to County/City sewer lines. Found out there is currently no utilities going to any of these properties at the moment so the quote to bring all then in, water, sewer, electric and natural gas would have cost $500,000.00 my house was on a corner lot that was good size and a modest 1300sqft 3 bdrm 1 3/4 bath with a attached 2 car garage and fully landscaped beautifully and wasn't Worth at the time in 2016 anything close to that amount. So it's important people get a TRUE cost of buying a mobile or modular home because some I think only see the purchase price of the home and not all that must be done afterwards.
Steven I'm so sorry that happened to you. The expense of everything is crazy! The reason I want people to have some idea of the cost before they step out into this process. When I hear people say "oh they JUST put a mobile home on some property" I think to myself "you have NO IDEA the hard work involved." In our 20 yrs of marriage we have built two houses and remodeled one but this has been just as much work. Maybe it's just because we are older now. 🤷🏻♀️ lol but it was hard work and still an on going job. God bless and I wish you the best!
Renee, this was so helpful!!! We are getting ready to move a single wide out from Sumrall. Does your son have his own business? Could we hire him to do our AC?
I'm so glad it helps! I will definitely ask my son. May I ask where you are moving to? My son actually lives in Brandon and works full-time for a company up that way. So it would depend on where you are located. And thank you so much for watching!
How big is your property If you don't mind me asking, we are thinking of purchasing a .43 acre lot, to put a mobile home on.
I'm not really sure. We are just on one corner of my daughter's property. We didn't get real technical on that...just cleared a spot for our home and a little yard.
Great! Sweetheart!! I can make clear estimate.
Wow.. Most of your labor and material cost were more than reasonable in price. Where I am located, it's highway robbery! Where things had cost you only $200-400 dollars, it will cost me $2-3-6k! I guess it does all depend on the area in which you live.
Yes we live in a small town. Plus I'm sure the prices in MS are cheaper than other states.
I purchased a new mobile home which was double-wide. The company that was hired to complete the mobile home has done a very poor job. The interior of the mobile home is not completely set up or cleaned up. The Mobile Home Service that was supposed to be completing the complete job tells me it's my responsibility to complete everything and fill the trenches outside. What can I do about this problem?
Before I can get the certificate of occupancy.
Could you please cover these problems in one of your videos.
We purchased our home from an individual and found an independent company to move ours. If yours is new then the company you purchased from should be handling everything for you. It should have a warranty but you will have to stay on them. I looked into so many different brands/manufacturers of new ones before we bought this used one...sorry to say they ALL had bad reviews concerning the set up and trim out process. I read so many reviews of people's horror stories of things not put back together properly which resulted in water leaks and damage. I would stay on the company you purchased from to make this right. Call them every day and write emails to the company. I wish I could say this was going to be an easy fix. We paid $2000 for a crew to do our trim out which involves putting the vinyl back on each end outside and putting all of the trim pieces back together inside at door openings and the opening between our den and kitchen. They did NOT do it right! My husband and son-in-law had to take it all down and put it back up the right way. I'm thankful they knew how to fix it but was a lengthy ordeal because neither one really had the time with their jobs to take on that project. We still haven't finished caulking it all after it was re-done. My advice is to seriously pray before you make those phone calls and ask the Lord to get you in contact with the RIGHT person who can help you get this straightened out! I sincerely pray it all works out for you! ❤️
I didn't realize you didn't BUY the LAND until the video was almost over 😞
I'm looking for the FULL PRICE INCLUDING LAND.
Start to Finish.
The price of land will vary a great deal from state to state. Even from county to county. Land is much cheaper in the county we currently live in vs where we moved from. The price will even vary depending on the acreage. Sometimes 1 acres will run more than the price per acres in a 10 acres track. So it's best to price in the area you are interested in living. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you.
Just add what she said to whatever the price of land is.
Do you own land, was it gift, or do you pay land lease. Not trying to be nosy but wondering how much more cost would be if bought a beautiful piece of land like that.
For my daughter to sell us a piece of their property or even deed it to us it would have caused them to have to refinance their home bc they haven't been in their home long enough to have enough equity for the mortgage company to let them sell off a portion. So our home is just sitting on their property. So the cost of land would be in addition to what we spent.
@@Mobilehomerenovation Thks for reply. I do agree a used manufactured on a plot of land is the only way to go for the forseeable future. Single-family, HOA's, and land-lease parks are now out of reach in the southwest.
Here in sc it’s 300 a mile
Wow! 😳
You got a great deal on moving your home, we had to pay 18k for a 25 mile move, 😑
Oh we definitely did! I have to credit the couple we purchased the home from. They looked into moving it and had called so many places. They gave us the name of the company we ended up using.
😊👍👍😊
So i own an old mobile home that i want to move off my property and purchase a new or newer mobile home. So everything i need such as utilities are already here. My new home would go right where the old home sits. I have no idea what im doing and im doing this without any help. Can you tell me roughly what costs i wont have? I have to do something soon . My mobile home is a 1964 home.
You would have the expense of moving the old one out and moving the new one in. The plumbing is already there so you wouldn't have that expense other than running the pipes to the bathrooms and kitchen..doubt they would line up perfectly where the old ones sat. You would need an electrician to hook up the electrical even though it's already running to your house you still need an electrician to hook it up. And an HVAC person to hook up your AC. God bless you to find the right one you're looking for! 🙏 ❤️
Square poles warp
Oh...I did not know that! You learn something new every day. 😊
Where is your home at? It’s a beautiful property.
We are in Seminary MS. Check out my video called Our Mobile Home Remodel part 2. It shows the tour of the inside and some before and after pics. Thank you for the sweet comment! ❤️ 😊
@@Mobilehomerenovation Beautiful area 😊
@@beckyforbis4858 thank you! We like it. ❤️
Was it nerve wracking seeing your home cut in half and moved? I would've been a wreck! Worked out well though and looks great. I shouldn't be surprised at the cost of everything, prices for everything have doubled.
If I'm being totally honest...yes it's a little unsettling. For me it was trying to trust that the people we hired would put it back together right. I'm the kind of person that likes to do things myself so I KNOW it's done right. Lol Of course nothing with any home is perfect, especially a mobile home. You have to go into it knowing that.
It doesn't seem cheaper in my opinion??

cost of land?
The cost of land was not included in any of the figures I shared. So please take that into consideration when thinking about purchasing a mobile home. We paid my daughter and son-in-law a small amount but I'm sure not close to what market value would be. I did this video so people would be aware of things you may have to pay for that you may not have thought about but the actual cost will vary from state to state.
Renee, I'm sorry.....I thought your son lived in Seminary....I know it would be too far to come from Brandon. Maybe we can find someone around Hattiesburg. Thank you so much!!!!
We just met a man that does the AC Work for several mobile home dealerships in the area. He does the AC set up when the home is moved. He purchased something from us on Facebook market place and is actually coming to our home today. I will get his contact info for you.
Thank you so much!!!
@@suelott9612 His name is Tim Harper 601-335-3909
Thank you so much Renee!!
Ms. Sue, I live in Hattiesburg and their rules for mobile homes within city limits is ridiculous. I think I read you were in Sumrall. If you find a good HVAC tech for mobile homes around the Hburg area, if you can, please share. I know my unit could use a good ole check-up. Thank you and best wishes.
Downgraded to a trailer, your homeowners insurance is going to be higher than your home, keep on top of the rates! Mine has doubled in 7 years and 000 claims!!
We are keeping an eye on that. It is running us about the same as our last home which I think is high but it's because we don't have a close fire department that isn't volunteer. Still our cost of living is cheaper here vs our previous homes which was our goal. Thanks for watching and for the input. 😊
I know it's on a block foundation, but it looks like there are areas that will flood instead of allowing a run off down the hill. Thank you for the video though.
Trust me we have had WAY above average rain fall in our area since the home was set up. There is a good slope and everything drains away from the home very well. The guy that did our dirt work and pad really knew what he was doing. Thanks for watching! 😊
you could have gotten A stick built for that price or less
No...we talked with several builders in the area and it would have been almost double what we spent here. We have built two stick houses in the past and remodeled one older stick home so know what's involved. Sorry to say in this economy the quotes we were getting to build this same Sq footage was over $350k to $370k and that didn't include the property. We sold our stick house to move here and trust me it sold for WAY more than we even thought it was worth. Thanks for watching though. 😊
"you could have gotten A stick built for that price or less". Okay. Name and give me a company or whoever will build a stick home "for that price or less". Otherwise just by reading your comment you're just some one upper hindsight.
Yeah a 70 year old house with no upgrades in the hood where you’ve got to dodge bullets.
GREAT VIDEO!!! PUTTING IN THE COST SHOWS YOU REALLY ARE TRYING TO HELP. MANY DON'T DO THAT.
Thank you for saying that! I'm a really private person but I want people to know what they are getting into. When I hear people say "oh they JUST put a mobile home on some property" I want to shout "You have NO idea what all is involved!" We've built two house and remodeled a 1980's house in the past but moving, setting up and remodeling a used mobile home was just as challenging...if not more. Thank you for watching and for the comment!
