Build a Modular Home - Mortgage Rates are Rising, Virginia Beach

Last week the interest rates jumped the most ever - in just one day! Right now, rates are at 4.5% or higher for a 30 year loan. Too many people are scrambling to buy a home, making decisions they would not make in a calmer housing market. Additionally, sellers are over pricing their homes and starting bidding wars because they know that home inventory is historically low.
 
Don’t put up with it. If you are ready to move, and if you are worried about the steadily rising interest rates, then build a new modular home instead.  Did you know that a 1% rise in interest rates will increase your monthly payment by 10%. If you want a new home, building a modular home is the way to have the home you want at the price you want!

Modular Homes are Greener Homes

If you are interested in taking advantage of these low mortgage rates before they rise more, and you can’t find the perfect home because new home inventory is so low, consider building a new home. In fact, with modular construction, not only will you build a custom designed home, faster and easier than a traditionally built home, but your new modular home will also be a green home.

Modular homes are a greener form of construction and they are far more energy efficient than their stick built counterparts. In addition to more energy efficient construction practices, modular homes also use only energy star rated appliances and windows which makes them greener than traditional homes. As a result you will spend less on energy bills and your home will remain a more constant temperature all year round.

Modular homes are far more energy efficient than traditionally built homes. Modular homes from Tidewater Custom Modular Homes offer you energy efficient living using construction methods that are above and beyond the standard and we can make your home even more green than even our standard when requested.

The modular construction process is more earth friendly as well. Because we buy our materials in bulk we use less energy in transportation.  Because we have done this for so long, we know just what we need for materials. Our homes are built in a factory setting, so we have less waste and we are more efficient at making your home. This uses less energy. Additionally, because our homes are built indoors, there is no material waste caused by weather or theft.

If you are interested in buying a new home, and you want to take advantage of these low interest rates, but you just can find the home of your dreams, contact Tidewater Custom Modular Homes for a green home that is also the “perfect home”.


Buying a Home? Build a New Modular Home Instead

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.
