Why Modular Homes Are the Smart Choice for Homebuyers in 2025

Posted: 11/18/2024 by: Owl Homes Category: Owl NewsThe Category Press Releases

As housing costs continue to rise, many buyers are turning to modular homes as a faster, more affordable way to achieve their dream of homeownership. At Owl Homes of Fredonia, we’ve seen this growing trend firsthand. With the modular home market expected to grow from $82 billion in 2022 to $139 billion by 2029, now is the time to explore why these homes are an excellent investment.

What Are Modular Homes?

Modular homes are constructed using factory-made components that are transported to a building site and assembled on a permanent foundation. Unlike traditional stick-built homes, modular homes are built in sections in a controlled factory environment, allowing for faster construction at a significantly lower cost. In fact, modular homes can cost $20 to $340 less per square foot than stick-built homes.

At Owl Homes of Fredonia, we’re proud to offer modular homes that meet both HUD standards and local building codes, ensuring the same stability and longevity as conventional homes. Check out our video tours to see our beautiful models!

Modular vs. Manufactured Homes

It’s common to confuse modular homes with manufactured homes, but there’s a key difference. Manufactured homes, often called mobile homes, are built to be moved. Modular homes, on the other hand, are permanent structures designed to remain on their foundations. If you’re looking for a long-term housing solution that is more cost-effective than traditional construction, modular homes are an excellent choice.

The Affordable Housing Crisis in Western New York

Posted: by: Owl Homes Category: Press Releases

Introduction to the Housing Affordability Crisis

The United States is currently grappling with a severe housing affordability crisis, which is acutely felt in Western New York, particularly in the Buffalo area. A significant factor contributing to this crisis is the supply shortage of affordable housing, driven by traditional construction methods that struggle to keep pace with demand. The reliance on site-built construction is creating inefficiencies, primarily due to labor shortages and rising construction costs, making it challenging for developers to introduce new affordable units.

The Root Causes of Rising Construction Costs

Several factors are fueling the increasing costs of building new housing in Western New York. These include:

  1. Construction Inputs: Costs for land, materials, and labor are consistently on the rise, putting pressure on builders to maintain affordable pricing.
  2. Land Use Regulations: Local regulations often limit where and how new housing can be developed, adding further complications for builders.
  3. Financing Complexity: Navigating the financing landscape for affordable housing can be challenging, with various public subsidies that complicate project timelines and funding availability.

The Role of Modular Housing in Addressing the Crisis

To tackle the housing affordability crisis effectively, it is essential to consider innovative solutions like modular housing. This construction technique involves fabricating entire building components off-site at a factory, which are then transported and assembled at the construction site. Unlike mobile homes or manufactured homes, modular homes are classified as real property and are permanently affixed to foundations, ensuring long-term stability and value.

Modular housing not only accelerates the construction process but also enhances quality control. Since modules are built in a controlled environment, they are less susceptible to the weather-related delays that often plague traditional construction methods. This efficiency can significantly reduce the time it takes to deliver homes to the market, making them available to families in need more quickly.
