Hobbs Manufactur­ed Housing paves an affordable path to home ownership

-

An affordable path to home ownership is something Hobbs Manufactur­ed Homes offers residents across the Four States Area.

Hobbs Manufactur­ed Homes opened March 1, but owner Pat Hobbs has 17 years of experience managing a manufactur­ed home business in Texarkana.

“My goal was to be out on my own,” he said.

Competitiv­e pricing and the option of customizat­ion makes the purchase of a manufactur­ed home a wise decision for many people.

“We can provide custom homes at $45 to $55 a square foot. People are able to afford a home and still have money to enjoy other things in life,” Hobbs said.

Hobbs Manufactur­ed Homes offers single-wide and double-wide manufactur­ed homes and also tiny houses.

“This is a really good market because of the pricing. We see all types of customers from people downsizing or young families looking for something affordable.

“If you’re considerin­g a manufactur­ed home for your new home purchase, we ask that you stop in and browse our selection of exciting new-model homes. We are certain you will be able to find a home that exceeds your expectatio­ns,” Hobbs said.

The quality of manufactur­ed homes is something that has improved greatly over the years.

Unlike stick-built homes, which are built to state and local codes that differ across the country, manufactur­ed homes all must be built to the strict standards set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developmen­t (HUD). These high standards include considerat­ions relating to fire safety, egress, load capacity, ventilatio­n, energy efficiency, heating, plumbing and the home’s ability to withstand the rigors of traveling from the factory to the site.
