If you’re thinking about selling your mobile home, here’s how much money you can get
Sellers are asking how much cash for mobile homes in New Braunfels – they want to know how much they will get if they sell their mobile home. If you’re thinking of selling and let us walk you through some of the ins and outs based off of our experience in the local market.
An Important Definition
Since this blog post will be read by people all over New Braunfels (and surrounding areas), with various prices reflected throughout the area, it’s difficult to write about a specific dollar figure. However, here’s an important concept that will help you understand how much people pay cash for mobile homes in New Braunfels…
On The Market: When a mobile home sold “on the market”, that means it’s usually listed by a real estate agent and sold after several potential buyers have seen the property and at least one has made an offer. Manufactured or “mobile homes” sold on the market will often be sold for approximately the same amount that other similar mobile homes in the area have sold for. This is called “market price”.
Off The Market: When a mobile home is sold “off the market”, that usually means the homeowner has decided to sell their mobile home directly to a buyer instead of list their mobile home. Mobile homes sold off the market will often be sold for slightly less than their market price, this is called “below market price.” Remember real estate agents can only sell mobile homes on private property, not in parks. They can also only sell the mobile home as a land/mobile home package deal. If you have a mobile home on your private land and need it moved off your property you don’t need a realtor, you need us! We are Licensed Retailer/Brokers in Texas through the TDHCA. Which means we are licensed to sell mobile homes in and out of parks and on private land.
You might be reading this and asking, “why would anyone accept below market price, and less cash for mobile homes in New Braunfels than others?”
That’s a good question but there’s more to the story:
- Selling on the market usually means you’re selling it to a person who will choose to live in the mobile home. They’re buying the mobile home for themselves and their family. But when you sell off the market, you’re often selling to a company that might be investing in your mobile home to turn it into a rental property or to renovate it and sell it.
- Selling on the market usually means the buyer needs financing. Selling off the market, in a private sale, often means that a professional home-buying company is willing to pay cash for mobile homes in New Braunfels and the surrounding areas. (That’s why some people prefer to sell off the market – they don’t want to wait for the seller to get financing; they want to know they’ve sold the mobile home right away).
- Selling on the market actually costs money… sometimes a lot of money. If your mobile home needs renovations and repairs, you usually have to spend money to fix up your mobile home before you sell it on the market. However, when you sell it off the market, such as to a company like us at JourneyMobileHomes, you can sell your mobile home as-is – saving the money (and the time and hassle).
- Selling on the market through an agent will often result in commissions and fees to the agent for the work they did to sell your mobile home. But selling off the market to a mobile home buying company like JourneyMobileHomes usually means no commissions or fees or closing costs.
How much can you get for your mobile home? Selling on the market may mean you sell your mobile home for more money but it takes longer and costs more; selling off the market may mean you sell your mobile home for below market price but it’s faster and there are no expenses or fees.
So, how much will sellers get in cash for mobile homes in New Braunfels? It depends on how you sell – on the market or off the market… and that is determined by how quickly you want to sell and how much time and money you’re willing to invest to sell. It will also depend on if the home needs to be moved after the sale and wether or not you are selling the land with it. There are also other factors such as the age, size, manufacturer, condition, location, etc that have to be considered.
