Sequim and Port Angeles site built (or stick built) home sales get a lot of coverage, but what percentage of the market of homes sold are manufactured homes and condominiums? Here’s a chart of the comparison of all homes sold since January 2004 through June of 2008.
Manufactured homes (and mobile homes, which are included in this data) make up 25.5% of homes sold. That’s a larger percentage than I realized until I did this analysis. Condominiums (and townhouses, which are included in this category) make up 3/4 of 1% of homes sold.
This means that one out of four homes sold in Sequim and Port Angeles is a manufactured home or mobile home.

Not to get to far from your post, one thing to think about with prefab/modular homes is it offers a solution to the world’s housing shortage for the deprived, under-privileged and low income populations in society by providing a total system for basic, low-cost, quality built housing. The modular housing constructed with sandwich panels is the lowest in cost, most rapidly erected, simplest in design, and most structurally sound basic housing in existence today plus, you can put 21 homes in a 40 foot container.
