Selling a mobile home for cash
How mobile-home sales differ from site-built, with-land vs. park-only, pre-1976 HUD considerations, and pricing reality.
With-land vs. park-only changes everything
A mobile home on land you own is real property. A mobile home in a park (pad-rental) is personal property with very different mechanics — and a much smaller buyer pool.
Pre-1976 HUD homes
Don't qualify for conventional financing, so they trade only at cash prices. The buyer pool is smaller; offers reflect that.
Park approval
If selling in-park, the park usually has approval rights over the buyer. Get the park's approval criteria up front so you don't close on a buyer who gets rejected.
