Manufactured homes for trade
Mobile and manufactured homes (land-titled and personal-property units alike) offered for direct exchange. No dealer, no specialized broker.
First question: how is it titled?
Everything about trading a manufactured home flows from one fact: whether it is titled as real property or personal property. Settle this before you talk value.
Affixed & titled with land
- • Transfers by deed, like any house
- • Title company, escrow, and recording apply
- • Holds value far better than lot-lease units
- • Real-property taxes and financing rules
Separate personal-property title
- • Title transfers like a vehicle
- • Lot lease and park approval may gate the deal
- • Personal-property tax and financing rules
- • Simpler paperwork, but check tie-downs and additions

Inspection & paperwork checklist
- 1
Determine whether the home is titled as real property or personal property
- 2
Confirm HUD certification labels and the data plate are intact
- 3
If on a rented lot, review the lot lease and any transfer approval needed
- 4
Inspect the frame, tie-downs, and any additions for permits
The big miss
Trading the home but not the land. A manufactured home on a leased lot can be worth a fraction of one on owned acreage, so always be explicit about what conveys.
