One out of every three single-family homes sold in Texas this year will be a manufactured home. It's an industry that's shedding an old image with some companies struggling to stay afloat.
Summer is right around the corner, which signals the start of the home buying season.
Like ants at a family picnic, workers swarm about a factory south of Fort Worth, producing four homes a day in an industry that sells one out of every five new homes across the country. What you get after all this hammering and sawing is a 1,600 square foot home that can be built, delivered, setup, and ready to live in, in just 12-days. You get to pick all your colors, wallpaper selection, carpet colors, carpet upgrades. One double-wide home has three bedrooms, two baths, a fireplace, and two living areas. You can get regular drywall, big tubs, or a built in office.
