"The median single-family home appreciated by 58.6% over this period, which serves as a good baseline for overall values in the housing market. Manufactured and Mobile homes that include land in the listing increased in value by even more, by 70.1%, per NAR's research."
"Manufactured housing, even in land-lease communities, are appreciating at about 88% of the rate as single family housing and manufactured homes on owned land are outpacing conventional housing appreciation by 19.6%."
"The median home price in early 2026 remains nearly five times the median household income, a ratio that is fundamentally unsustainable. Young voters are looking for a path to the equity-building machine that defined the middle class for their parents and grandparents."
"Only HUD Code manufactured homes are inherently affordable. The NAR Research shows manufactured homes are a wealth-building tool."
From January 2019 to January 2026, the median single-family home appreciated by 58.6%, while manufactured homes with land increased by 70.1%. Manufactured homes on leased land appreciated by 51.6%. This indicates that manufactured housing is a viable option for affordable housing, as it appreciates at a rate close to single-family homes. The median home price remains unsustainable compared to median household income, prompting a need for legislative solutions to address the housing crisis and provide equitable opportunities for young voters.
