Manufactured homes
Built to the federal HUD Code and transported on a permanent chassis. Land ownership, title treatment, foundation, and lender rules matter.
Manufactured and modular housing
Factory-built can be part of the path.
Modern manufactured and modular homes can expand the number of quality housing choices available to South Carolina households—especially when land, site work, financing, and the home are planned together.
Plan the entire project
The home price is only one part.
A realistic budget should account for the home, land, transportation, installation, foundation, utilities, permits, grading, access, and lender requirements. Those pieces need to work together before a buyer commits.
Start with the property. Zoning, setbacks, access, utilities, flood risk, and septic suitability can determine whether the plan is feasible.
Discuss my home plan →Know the distinction
Manufactured and modular are not the same.
Both are built in a controlled factory environment, but the standards, installation, titling, and financing paths can differ.
Modular homes
Built in sections to applicable building codes, then assembled on a permanent foundation. They are generally treated as site-built real property.
Choose by total fit
Compare total project cost, financing, appraisal, timeline, land conditions, and long-term needs—not simply the base home price.
