Alternatives to traditional home buying exist in the services offered by companies like American Homes and the inventory of manufactured houses available for viewing on the american-homes.net website. In business more than four decades, American Homes boasts six locations in New York State including Dryden, Gloversville and Camelot Village. Construction of pre-fabricated residences, also popularly termed “mobile homes,” takes place in factories, where the building process is broken down into steps. Only after a customer makes a purchase will shipping of the home’s sections occur.
Browsing through american-homes.net allows home seekers to view the variety of models the company sells, ranging from single level ranch style houses to two-story cape chalets with walk-up attics, whirlpools and a host of other standard and specialized features. Like traditional residences, the houses sold by American Homes come with bedrooms, kitchens and baths, some with as many as four bedrooms. Most, however, have a total of three.
Relocation of these homes, unlike regular houses, can easily take place, which provides more options for homeowners who can purchase a plot of land most anywhere and then place their manufactured home on it. The american-homes.net site describes financing options available to families or individuals who can consider taking out a construction loan, which covers the cost of the home, the land on which it will rest and any amount needed for site development. The other option involves a retail home loan for buyers intending to settle their house on their own private land or in a mobile home park.
