Recently homebuilder confidence has been rising. Homebuilders are confident about their sales prospects over the next two years, because more people are buying and building homes. Why? Low interest rates and rising rents. Basically, it costs less to buy a home in most US cities than to rent one. And, building a home can cost less too, with modular construction.

Interest in modular home construction has been increasing as well. Modular construction almost always costs less than stick built construction. Obviously, this depends on your design details, but modular homes always take far less time to build than traditional homes and time is money. There are so many advantages of modular construction that it is no wonder that while new construction is increasing, so is modular construction.

If you're building a new home, you should consider moving up your time frame. With interest rates still low, but slowly rising, now is the time to lock in your rate for a new construction home loan. Modular homes are a faster, less stressful way to build a home. Start the modular process now, and be all moved in before the end of summer.

After the design stage is completed, it can take as little as 4-6 weeks for your modular home to be fully constructed. Modular homes can be custom designed, or you can choose from one of the 100’s of existing floor plans. Then, your home is built in modules which are then transported to your building site. After being set on the foundation, it takes just a few days to complete the finish work, and you can begin to move in, taking advantage of these low interest rates.

Modular homes can be designed for first-time home buyers, growing families as well as empty nesters. If you are ready to build a new home, contact Tidewater Custom Modular Homes.
