Latest NAHB Forecast Poses Challenges for Modular Home Industry; Opportunities for New Home Buyers

Jan. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- The Modular Home Center of America (MHCA) today announced that downward revisions in forecasted single family home starts for 2011 and 2012 by the National Association of Home Builders  (NAHB) poses continuing challenges for the modular home industry. The downward revised forecast of 21% for 2011 could be an opportunity for new home shoppers as the industry continues to price with a sharp pencil as manufacturers and modular home builders strive to be one of the survivors as the economy works its way out of the doldrums.

Says Ramon L. Sanchez-Vinas, a Principal with The Modular Home Center of America and past Chair of The National Modular Housing Council of the Manufactured Housing Institute, " This is an excellent  opportunity for people wanting a new home to strike attractive deals for custom and standard plan modular homes offered by the industry. Couple exceptional engineering, quality and cost control, lower materials cost due to volume purchases; not to mention green features and high energy efficiency; now is the time to contact a modular builder or manufacturer. The industry is no different than any other industry and knows when it needs to offers incentives to keep production going and people employed. Modular housing is one of the least understood avenues for getting a great new home..built just the way you want it. Modular homes and materials are not exposed to weather and not subject to excessive weather delays. This saves in contruction time and interest costs".
