The reasons to downsize are many. To reclaim time as previously mentioned, to save money on maintenance, utilities and taxes, modular home construction provides that path. Modular construction is energy efficient construction. With energy star appliances, energy efficient windows, better insulation and efficient lighting you will pay less for the utilities in your home.
