THE DEATH OF MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOMES?

By
Industry Observer with Howard Sumner Consulting

SINCE 2000 THROUGH 2012 PLACEMENT OF MOBILE HOMES HAS DROPPED 81.14%, SO A NATURAL QUESTION IS  WHERE DID THOSE PERSON GO TO LIVE?

Source:  These data are produced by the U.S. Commerce Department's Census Bureau from a  survey sponsored by the U.S. Department of                    Housing and Urban Development.

 

 

THEY MUST NOT BE BUYING NEW HOMES SINCE THE RATE OF NEW HOMES SALES HAS DROPPED 50% SINCE 2000.

INTERESTING THOUGHT TO PONDER

Those are some incredible looking statistics.  Not sure why the public is not needing the manufactured home.

Would be interesting to know the answer.  Maybe they bought a place in some less expensive country?  I keep hearing a lot about Costa Rica ....
