Overview
Why Manufactured Housing?
A manufactured home is more than a house; it is your dream home. In addition to the many luxury features that now come standard in manufactured homes, our manufacturers offer customization options to homeowners. The attainable nature of these houses allows people to invest in custom features that make the space their own.
Cost-effective Building Techniques:
Manufactured homes are priced between 35 and 50 percent below new site-built homes. Plus, studies show them to retain or appreciate in value.
Safety:
Precise processes and meticulous inspection oversee all aspects of building a manufactured home. All craftsmen, technicians and assemblers work as a team under factory-controlled conditions and are specialized in their tasks.
Energy Efficiency:
A wide variety of options and features are available in today’s manufactured homes. They can include choices in exteriors such as colors and sidings and interior finishing like cabinets, flooring, and window coverings. Luxury items from fireplaces, jetted tubs, entertainment systems and smartphone remote control technology are available.
Taxes:
Michigan requires no annual real estate tax for factory-built homes. In lieu of annual taxes, Michigan levys a one-time sales tax at the time of your manufactured home purchase. Site-built garages and decks are subject to local real estate taxes.
Warranty:
Because of the stringent federal and state regulations, manufactured homes are built to last. Alta Vista's manufacturers provide excellent warranty packages.
