Where
can I get a price on a home?
While exploring the Internet for manufactured
housing, we suggest you:
1. Go through the floor plans and find a few you like.
2. Review the home's standard features and options and determine
which are important to you.
3. Schedule a visit with your MH-Quote.com network retailer. Allow
a sales person to identify several choices for you to choose from.
A quote can be provided thereafter.
To help align your expectations, ballpark estimates are provided
below. We strongly recommend that you visit with a Retailer for
an accurate quote as price will vary.

Where can I find Used Home Prices
NADA publishes a manual on manufactured housing prices. The manual
is more complex than the corresponding one for cars, but it does
exist. Any manufactured housing professional should be able to provide
a reading from the guide. A second option would be to request an
appraisal from a certified appraiser.
We currently do not provide these services. MHVillage can provide a book value within two hours or its free.
How do I find a Retailer near me?
MH-Quote.com lists their preferred retailers
around the country. In markets where we have not yet selected a preferred
retailer, we provide a Yellow Pages search feature that allows you
to find a retailer of interest. We also suggest you subscribe to our
Newsletter since we announce all recent additions to the MH-Quote.com
network.
Where can I find information on manufacturers
not listed at MH-Quote.com?
Try using any major search engine on the Internet
for the manufacturer of interest or use the Yellow Pages and contact
them directly.
How do I get information on a particular model
of home?
We recommend that you contact the Retailer
that had the floor plan available. If the floor plan was from a retailer
outside your market, print off the floor plan and take it to your
local dealer.
How do I get a catalog of your floor plans?
MH-Quote.com does not make printed floor plan
catalogs available. Please contact a retailer regarding floor plan
information.
Where can I get replacement parts for my home?
Manufactured homes have
many parts that are not available in most building supply centers.
To ensure that the parts you buy are compatible with your home, we
suggest you visit MHSupply.com.
Where can I find the manufacturer of my manufactured
home?
We suggest that you search for the "data plate"
which will contain the manufacturer's name, address, style of the
home, and other pertinent information about the home. The data plate
is permanently affixed to the home near the electrical circuit breaker
box. Other locations include kitchen cabinet doors or bedroom closets
- usually out of view to most residents. Data plates have been required
on HUD homes since June 1976.
What is PB plumbing pipe and where can I find
more information concerning PB pipe claims?
Between the late 1970s to the early 1990s,
polybutylene (PB) plumbing pipe was installed in many manufactured
homes. Subsequent problems with leaking PB plumbing systems brought
on a class action suite against several manufacturers and distributors
of these systems. (PB pipe can be identified as the blue pipe used
in your yard to bring water to your home from the water meter, or
the gray plastic pipe within your home that connects with gray or
copper fittings.) If you are experiencing leaks and wish file a claim,
you may contact The Consumer Plumbing Recovery Center (CPRC) at (800)
356-3496 or the U.S. Brass Trust at 1-800-622-0130. There will be
a recording that will give you the information on how to file a claim.
