1982 Single Wide in Roanoke, Virginia for $11,500

This 1982 Colony single wide sits in a 55+ community where lot rent is $230 per month (and that includes your water and sewage). It is 14′ x 70′ with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths and has been completely remodeled.

I hope I can be fortunate enough to find a beautiful and affordable home in a great setting like this when I retire! 

1972 Single Wide in New Port Richey, Florida for $9900

Retiring to Florida is a popular goal. With a mobile home, it’s a goal that is absolutely in reach for us ‘regular’ people that have a regular job and a regular bank account. My 401K is a 101B but I could probably save up $9900 in the next 15 years if I tried hard enough.

Cute Lakefront Single Wide in Albion, Indiana

This is a lakefront vacation home but I’m including it because it is such a cute property. You pay $12,500 for the 10′ x 50′ mobile home with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths sitting on an 86 acre lake in Albion, Indiana.

The home has been well cared for and has the original paneling and built-ins. Lot rent is $2700 a year (includes water, sewer, and trash) and the park is open April to October. A pontoon boat and your own dock is a part of the deal!

You could buy the Florida single wide above for the winter months and this mobile home for the summer and have an amazing retirement! Home has been sold.

1984 Liberty Single Wide in Reese, Michigan for $7000

This is a great looking home for $7000 in a park in Michigan. It has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath and you get all the furnishings and working appliances.

Pitched roof, great layout (LOVE those end kitchens!) and obviously taken care of – this is a great looking home. No mention of the lot rent but if I had to guess it would be less than $400 a month.

Some people spend $7000 on a gaming computer (I know one personally and while it is a very nice system I would much rather buy an entire home). Home has been sold.

2011 Double Wide on 2 Acres in Mayo, Florida for $76,000

This is a great looking home! For less than $80,000 you get 2 acres of land and a 3 bedroom, 2 baths home with 9-foot side walls. The bedrooms have walk-in closets.

The kitchen has a walk-in pantry and a great island. I saw a truck that cost more than this in today’s newspaper. Home has been sold.

This home has 9-foot ceilings! 9 foot!

Nice Single Wide in Gainsville, Florida for $11,500

There are no interior images on this ad but I loved the exterior photo. Look at that water view! For $11,500 (OBO) you could easily fix up the interior if needed though the ad says the home has been very well kept.

This single wide has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The home sits on a large corner lot overlooking a beautiful pond in a very well maintained mobile home park. Home has been sold.

Single Wide and 1/4 Acre in Warner Robins, Georgia for $24,000

This single wide has so much potential! It sits on a quarter of an acre and has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It’s already been updated a bit and would make a great home for a small family.

1998 Double Wide on 0.87 Acres in Lexington, SC for $90,000 obo

This 1998 double wide has been nicely updated. Land in South Carolina is getting expensive thanks to all the people moving down from the north (just like we did – but there are no jobs in WV so we had to go somewhere).

I wish we had enough money saved to buy something like this – I see so much potential! Home has been sold.

Double Wide and Land near Savanah, Georgia for $60,000

This is a great looking home! This double wide has been recently updated with new porches, metal roofing, and interior updates. It sits on its own land so appreciation is very likely. Home has been sold.

Beautiful Double Wide in Belleville, Michigan for $56,000

This double wide manufactured home is gorgeous. The owners obviously put a lot of time, effort, and pride into their mobile home remodel. Not much is said about the lot rent or neighborhood but I suspect this isn’t your average manufactured home community since the garage is attached to the home (most parks don’t allow that).

This home has 2 bedrooms and a den with a walk-in closet so it can be used as a bedroom if needed. A friend of mine paid $50,000 for her SUV last year. It’s a great ride but it isn’t half as nice as this home! Home has been sold.

Summary – Top Craigslist Mobile Homes in May ’17 (East Coast) 

Of course, there are thousands of great mobile and manufactured homes for sale across the nation. These were just 10 I’ve seen over the month of May that I liked most.

I’m not a real estate expert and I don’t know if these prices are a good deal. Please contact an expert if you plan on buying a home from Craigslist. Do lots of research and make sure everything is on the up and up. Craigslist mobile homes are fun to look at but it’s a whole different ballgame when money becomes involved.

Are older mobile homes a good investment?

Mobile homes are a terrible investment because they drop in value super fast—the same way your car loses value the second you drive it off the lot. Investing in a mobile home isn't like investing in real estate. Why? Because the land the mobile home sits on is real estate, but the home is considered personal property.

What are the disadvantages of living in a mobile home?

Availability and cost of suitable land..
Extra costs imposed by manufactured home community..
Fewer choices and higher costs of financing..
Fewer personalization options and amenities..
Lingering stigma of mobile homes..
Questionable long-term value; slower, if any, appreciation..

What is the smallest size mobile home?

A single-wide mobile home is the smallest size you can get. The smallest size can be 14' wide and 40' long.

Why are mobile homes so cheap?

Mobile homes are a lot cheaper than other types of homes because of the materials they use in their construction and their simple designs. Since they're primarily made in a factory, manufacturers are able to make their production process efficient and save on labor costs.
