Springtime is, no doubt, the busiest time in the calendar of real estate industry. Even though modular home-hunting is a little different than shopping for conventional homes, spring is still a great time to look for a new modular home. Consider this:

• The school year is coming to a close. Buying a modular home in the spring will allow you to move in the summer when school is out and be done with the transition before the new school year begins.
• The weather is warming up, making for better moving weather.
• Sellers have motivation to move the current model year modular homes before manufacturers start sending new ones in the fall.
• Tax seasons means that many people have additional cash from refunds available for down payments, moving expenses or modifications.

If you have a bit of “spring fever” and feel the need for a change, visit Fiesta Homes to view our selection of modular homes. We offer modular homes from top manufacturers, and many units are customizable to better fit your family’s needs and budget.

Buying a new home is exhilarating, but it can be nerve-racking, too. Unlike conventional homes, the modular home buying process is often more similar to the car buying process. Just as you prepare yourself before you head to the lot, you should do the same before heading to a modular home seller. Here’s how:

1.Make Sure You Know What You Want

You can do a lot of research before you even see a modular home model. Find out what manufacturers have a good reputation, what types of features you want in your new home and what features are considered upgrades that may drive up the price. Know what features and bottom lines are not negotiable so that you do not enter the modular home-buying process vulnerable to sales tactics that may put you over budget.

2.Investigate Your Financing Options

Before you decide to visit a modular home dealer, know what your financing options are from your bank, credit union or manufactured housing lenders. If possible, get pre-qualified for financing before you go to buy your modular home to make the process even smoother.

3.Make Sure You Carry Out Price Comparison On Manufactured Homes

Once you know what manufacturer, model and features you want in your modular home, you can find comparable prices by looking online or calling local dealers. This ensures you know what is (or is not) a fair market price and when you have room to negotiate.

4.Make the Dealer Take You Seriously

When you arrive at the dealer’s, let them know you are serious about buying and able to do it soon. If they know you are ready to close a deal, they will work with you to make that happen because a sure sale benefits them, too.

5.Make Sure You Know What Voids The Warranty

Just as you need to know what you want in your new modular home, also know what you want to do with it and where you want it located. In some cases, moving or selling the modular home can void the warranty. Improper site preparations can also make you liable to cover any damages. Your dealer can help you understand the warranty terms.

What Makes Fall a Good House-Hunting Season

For many people, summer may seem to be the idea house-hunting season. Moves do not interfere with the school year, the weather is stable, it’s the time of year when other people are relocating, etc.

But fall presents a few major advantages when it comes to finding a new home:

Less competition

Statistically, fewer people are looking for a home in fall months, which may lead to buyer’s market conditions and the luxury of time to consider your options

Focus on energy-efficiency

With winter on its way, (prospective) homeowners shift their focus to the energy efficiency of their new home, and that can end up saving you thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your home compared to those who discovered too late that their home has insufficient insulation, outdated heating or cooling systems, etc.

You don’t have to settle for your current residence until next spring or summer. You can be in a new energy-efficient home in time to enjoy your new environment and the cost-savings by winter!
