Even at those prices.

I inherited a mobile home/manufactured home, from my parents. Luckily for me, when they put the mobile home on this lot, they also bought the land under it. It's in an upscale park, gated community.
Rural area, 15 minutes away from the closest city.

There are still mobile homes in here that were put in in the '60s, then in the '80s, and then the new ones. The new ones can go for $750,000, but most of those have a view. Even the ones put in during the '80s are going for over half a million. Unbelievable.

I'm in Southern California. Guaranteed higher prices for Real Estate.

There are mobile homes in parks near me that sure as hell don't cost $750,000 MichMan Jan 12 #7

Location, location, location. So what's a mobile home cost where you are? And what's the climate like? Hekate Jan 12 #8

If the $750k mobile home owner owns the land it is sitting on, sure. MichMan Jan 12 #11

But many probably bought decades ago, at much cheaper prices. Liberty Belle Jan 12 #6
