Why Are People Buying Mobile Homes or Manufactured Homes in Florida?

Florida has always been attractive to retirees, snowbirds, and growing families looking for a better lifestyle. The sunsets in Florida are absolutely stunning! But in recent years, mobile homes have become one of the smartest real estate decisions in the state, and here’s why:

Affordability Compared to Site-Built Homes

With Florida being such an attractive region, real estate costs have surged, making the median home price in many Florida markets out of reach for many first-time buyers. A manufactured home offers a lower upfront cost, while still delivering modern layouts, energy-efficient features, and long-term livability. When you purchase the mobile home from Southern Family Mobile Homes you also know you will be getting the lowest price saving you up to 40% of the new mobile home price in Florida from the competition. The best quality for that price, as well as the best customer service, because we are family owned and operated. This is why we are the only mobile home dealer with 5 star google reviews!

No State Income Tax

Florida is one of the few states with no income tax, making it a popular place to stretch your retirement dollars or boost savings if you’re a working family.

Year-Round Sunshine

Manufactured and Mobile homes today are built to withstand heat and storms alike. You can enjoy Florida’s famous sunshine without sacrificing comfort and durability. And when the occasional storms come, you can know that your family’s safety is secured with construction built to local codes. We make sure the mobile home you would like is the correct wind zone for your city where it is being set and delivered.

Faster Move-In

New mobile homes can be move-in ready in a matter of weeks without waiting on long construction timelines or permits for traditional builds. By working with Southern Family Mobile Homes not only will you get the best pricing from the competition, we also move the homes ourselves.
