I’ve always enjoyed walking through a neighborhood and looking at homes. I’ll imagine the home’s layout or how I would decorate it or even what the family is like that lives there. I suppose it sounds a bit creepy but I don’t think I’m alone since home decor blogs and HGTV are so popular. Naturally, I love home tours online and browsing through real estate sites. Looking at Craigslist mobile homes is a favorite past time so I thought I’d share a few of the homes I found in the past month.
Steve Lancaster, the founder of my favorite Facebook group ‘I love Mobile/Manufactured Homes,’ has a real passion for factory-built homes. His knowledge of the builders and the numerous models that have been released over the decades is unparalleled. He routinely posts great Zillow and Craigslist mobile homes on his group’s page and some are simply breathtaking!
Thanks to Steve and Search Tempest, a handy classified ad search engine that allows you to search numerous classified ad sites via specific criteria such as location, age, size, color, etc., I’m able to find and share these beautiful mobile homes from across the country with you.
These are my favorite Craigslist mobile homes found in May 2017. Keep in mind, that while I have linked to the original ads, affordable homes tend to sell quickly so the ad may have been removed since we published the article.
This 1982 Colony single wide sits in a 55+ community where lot rent is $230 per month (and that includes your water and sewage). It is 14′ x 70′ with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths and has been completely remodeled.
The park is beautiful and the home is right beside a 2-acre lake. Home has been sold.
I hope I can be fortunate enough to find a beautiful and affordable home in a great setting like this when I retire!
Retiring to Florida is a popular goal. With a mobile home, it’s a goal that is absolutely in reach for us ‘regular’ people that have a regular job and a regular bank account. My 401K is a 101B but I could probably save up $9900 in the next 15 years if I tried hard enough.
(Note: This cute single wide is posted on Zillow and Craigslist. The Zillow link had bigger images so I used it.Home has been sold.
This is a lakefront vacation home but I’m including it because it is such a cute property. You pay $12,500 for the 10′ x 50′ mobile home with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths sitting on an 86 acre lake in Albion, Indiana.
The home has been well cared for and has the original paneling and built-ins. Lot rent is $2700 a year (includes water, sewer, and trash) and the park is open April to October. A pontoon boat and your own dock is a part of the deal!
You could buy the Florida single wide above for the winter months and this mobile home for the summer and have an amazing retirement! Home has been sold.
This is a great looking home for $7000 in a park in Michigan. It has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath and you get all the furnishings and working appliances.
Pitched roof, great layout (LOVE those end kitchens!) and obviously taken care of – this is a great looking home. No mention of the lot rent but if I had to guess it would be less than $400 a month.
Some people spend $7000 on a gaming computer (I know one personally and while it is a very nice system I would much rather buy an entire home). Home has been sold.
This is a great looking home! For less than $80,000 you get 2 acres of land and a 3 bedroom, 2 baths home with 9-foot side walls. The bedrooms have walk-in closets.
The kitchen has a walk-in pantry and a great island. I saw a truck that cost more than this in today’s newspaper. Home has been sold.
This home has 9-foot ceilings! 9 foot!
There are no interior images on this ad but I loved the exterior photo. Look at that water view! For $11,500 (OBO) you could easily fix up the interior if needed though the ad says the home has been very well kept.
This single wide has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The home sits on a large corner lot overlooking a beautiful pond in a very well maintained mobile home park. Home has been sold.
This single wide has so much potential! It sits on a quarter of an acre and has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It’s already been updated a bit and would make a great home for a small family.
The possibilities are endless. Home has been sold.
This 1998 double wide has been nicely updated. Land in South Carolina is getting expensive thanks to all the people moving down from the north (just like we did – but there are no jobs in WV so we had to go somewhere).
I wish we had enough money saved to buy something like this – I see so much potential! Home has been sold.
This is a great looking home! This double wide has been recently updated with new porches, metal roofing, and interior updates. It sits on its own land so appreciation is very likely. Home has been sold.
This double wide manufactured home is gorgeous. The owners obviously put a lot of time, effort, and pride into their mobile home remodel. Not much is said about the lot rent or neighborhood but I suspect this isn’t your average manufactured home community since the garage is attached to the home (most parks don’t allow that).
This home has 2 bedrooms and a den with a walk-in closet so it can be used as a bedroom if needed. A friend of mine paid $50,000 for her SUV last year. It’s a great ride but it isn’t half as nice as this home! Home has been sold.
Of course, there are thousands of great mobile and manufactured homes for sale across the nation. These were just 10 I’ve seen over the month of May that I liked most.
I’m not a real estate expert and I don’t know if these prices are a good deal. Please contact an expert if you plan on buying a home from Craigslist. Do lots of research and make sure everything is on the up and up. Craigslist mobile homes are fun to look at but it’s a whole different ballgame when money becomes involved.
