    I think the exterior is the real star for this home. I’m in awe of the color combination – I would have never thought those two colors would work so well together.

    Rustic 1974 Glenmoor Mobile Home

    This 1974 Glenmoor is a stunner with beautiful woodwork through out the home.

    The listing:

    Look at that ceiling! The end living room is perfect

    Glenmoor Built In

    Mobile homes in the 1970s had lots of builtin cabinets. The carpenter did a masterful job of recreating a typical mobile home builtin but gave it a site-built look.

    1977 Updated Single Wide – $36,000

    This mobile home is a must-see. It is remodeled and landscaped and turn-key ready for you. In the Valley Breeze Senior Park.

    Two bedrooms, one bath, and an added room addition, this also has a carport and workroom off it. It is landscaped, flower gardens in, ready for you to enjoy.

    It is 1977, and therefore cannot be financed by the bank. Looking at all-cash offers. The park is clean, quiet, and friendly. 2 small pets are allowed. $36,000.

    The lot rent is a very reasonable $390.00 and includes water, sewer, and garbage.

    The home sold fast so the link is no longer active.

    I love the muted colors on the exterior. It blends in well with the surroundings but isn’t getting lost. The darker gray trim helps add a little depth and dimension to the metal siding.

    Must-See Single Wide for $49K

    The wood trim throughout this next house is a real winner in my book. I love natural wood elements in a home. In my opinion, it adds a warmth that no other element can add.

    The listing for the home:

    Older but very sturdy 14×70 mobile home. 2 beds 1 bath, open living, and dining area. Spacious and comfortable. Nice addition sun room, den, office, or third bedroom. Storage shed with the a fenced-in area. No grass to care for, forested setting. Nice perennial thriving freshly planted flower bed. Must pass a background check, and age 55+ court. must apply with management.

    The lot rent is $395 and includes water, sewer, and garbage. Nice, a quiet court with friendly neighbors who keep to themselves for the most part and are quiet. No barking dogs. Inside cats only (although I sure see a lot of cats there lol).

    Close to Costco, Wal-mart, Lowes, Home Depot, and several restaurants, yet in a quiet residential area near the interstate. Updated kitchen and bath, done with quality and detail in mind, it’s a must-see. Well worth the $49K, old strong bones with a new beautiful remodel. It’s in Valley Breeze Mobile Home Village, Spokane Valley #128.

  • 7 Beautiful Bargain Mobile Homes for Less Than 30k

    It’s never too hard to find a few beautiful bargain mobile homes for sale on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. These just happen to be our favorites for May 2019. What makes these homes even more special is their price: all 7 mobile homes cost less than $30,000!

    Special thanks to our friend Steve for sharing these homes on his facebook page Manufactured Housing and Mobile Homes.

    The Right Color Combination Brings this Home Together

    Our first find is this absolutely gorgeous 1984 single wide in South Carolina. Listed on the Facebook marketplace for $18,000 the listing states that the home includes all appliances, furniture, and the A/C system. It will, however, need to be moved.

    There are so many things to love about the interior of this home. For example, the floor and ceiling molding dress up the entire home. Also, using the same color scheme throughout the home adds a cozy and inviting feel. This is a perfect example of what potential can be found in older mobile homes.

    sc-single-wide-with cool gray hallway

    Remodeled Single Wide Makes Great Starter Home

    When first starting out, money can be tight. That’s why this 1992 Kentuckian single for $15,000 is such a bargain. Located in North Carolina, the listing says the home has custom cabinets in the kitchen and laundry room as well as new tile and a gorgeous rock surround for the tub. There is also new flooring that hasn’t been installed for the kitchen and living room that is included with the home (although from the pictures the flooring looks fine). You can read more about the home in the listing.

    This home is also one that will need to be moved. But, if you own your own piece of land have a lot in a community this a great investment.

    Single Wide Has been Completely Updated

    This bargain mobile home was recently sold but it was just too good not to share. The original posting for this 1990 Henderson single wide lists the home at $30,000 and states that it is located in a mobile home community in VA with a very affordable lot rent of $250.

    Just a few of the updates that have been completed include new electrical, drywall throughout, insulation added under the home, and new windows. One of our favorite features of this home, the kitchen! The copper backsplash combines with updated cabinets and countertops to make the most of the small kitchen.

    Newer Mobile Home is Move In Ready

    We found this 2012 single wide in Georgia and listed for $28,500. It looks to be untouched since it first came off the lot. Whether you are looking for an inexpensive mobile home that doesn’t need any work, or you are looking for something that you can personalize this home is a great option. Like the others, it will need to be moved.

    Customized Single Wide is a Steal

    This fully furnished 1997 Castle mobile home for $24,900 would make a great first home or would be perfect for someone who is looking to downsize. Like most of our bargain mobile homes, this one will also need to be moved.

    We love the subtle Harley Davidson inspired living room decor!

    Bargain Mobile Homes Winner at $10,000

    This custom made/Villa West mobile home is for sale in Oregon at a low price of $10,000.

    This single wide has had a total remodel and includes a wood stove and custom hearth as well as a 12×60 addition with a living room, 2 bedrooms, and a den/office. Large windows compliment the home and allow for tons of natural light throughout.

    Updated Open Floor Plan Makes This a Turn Key Home

    We love this 1995 Single wide for sale in Pennsylvania! At only $23,000, this home has a beautifully decorated living room and kitchen. Just one of the many updates in this bargain mobile home includes his and her master closets and a full walk-in closet in the remodeled bathroom.

    Located within a pet and family friendly community, this home is a rare find.

    In Closing

    As these 7 bargain mobile homes prove, you don’t need to go into extreme debt to live in a nice home.

    All 7 homes are move-in ready and would need little if any updating. Mobile homes are a great investment for any situation, whether it be first time home buyers or empty nesters just looking to downsize. You don’t need a 4000 square foot home with a huge mortgage to be happy. In fact, it’s been said time and again that you are happier when you live a simple life.

    These are all beautiful bargain mobile homes and all prove that you don’t have to spend a fortune to live well. Which is your favorite?

    Thanks for reading Mobile Home Living.

With the popularity of Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and other realtor sites, it’s easier than ever to find budget-friendly mobile homes to buy.

    Fully Furnished Waterfront Mobile Home for $29,900

    This two bedroom, 2 bath mobile home is in a resort park in Alabama and is available completely furnished. It doesn’t offer the year in the listing, but it looks to be very well maintained home. The master bath is open into the bedroom, which was a popular feature in 1970 and 80’s mobile homes. It also has the glass inserts in the ceiling that help make the lower ceilings appear higher and the smaller rooms feel larger.

    This two bedroom Rembrandt mobile home in New York has light blue kitchen appliances! If you like your paneling and cabinets to be unpainted this is a great home (and that alone makes the home unique, you simply can’t find older mobile homes that haven’t been painted often).

    This would be a very cool vacation home if you are a vintage mobile home fan (according to listing lot rent averages $1000 a year which is a steal compared to our unofficial national mobile home park lot rent census).

    1966 Gorgeous Mobile Home for $19,000

    This is a gorgeous updated two bedroom/2 bath mobile home located in a community in California. It features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and new laminate flooring. To us, this is a perfect example of the potential that can be found in older mobile homes.

    However, there is one major drawback to this particular home. The lot rent is over $1700 a month! When buying a mobile home in a community, it’s so important to take into account the lot rent. Budget-friendly mobile homes aren’t a good deal if the lot rent is more than a mortgage payment would be. However, there is a housing shortage in CA and well, you get to live in CA, so….
