A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
It's becoming harder and harder for builder's to produce and sell those well-built, well-priced, starter homes of the past. Many builders indicate that they are producing the homes that buyers want, but this study points a large gap between first-time buyers' expectations and what they can actually afford. Despite this latest trend, research also shows that markets exist for afforadable homes and that manufactured housing is capturing a growing portion of this market that has historically been the domain of the site-built home. According to a report recently completed by the NAHB Research Center, manufactured housing sales increased by 72 percent between 1992 and 1995 and currently makes up over 30 percent of all single-family homes sold. This manual will provide builders with various items, including the tools necessary to market affordable housing to the entry-level buyer and successful techniques for building affordable durable housing.
