Real estate markets fluctuate — sometimes they are really hot and there are so many buyers that sellers will list a property and it gets snapped up the same day. That hasn’t happened to us but we have sold a mobile within 2-3 days on more than one occasion. That was in 2021-22. Sometimes markets are kind of soft, which means a mobile home might stay on a listing for weeks or even months without getting any offers! We are seeing a bit more of this the last 6 months coming into early 2024. Let us walk you through some options to sell your mobile home fast in San Antonio, Texas.
Mobile home owners who are selling their mobile homes in the second kind of market are often surprised and dismayed to discover just how long it can take.
That duration can be disruptive to your life, especially if you have to wait for the sale of your own mobile home in order to buy another home or move to a different city. There is a mobile home I drove past today in a San Antonio mobile home park that has had a for sale sign in the window over 6 months… Every time I’m there I drive by to check and see, sure enough it’s still there 😏 It’s not a bad mobile home either, I believe the seller is just asking way too much. But who knows, he must have all the time in the world, I just keep thinking man that lot rent has got to be getting expensive…

Here’s how to sell your mobile home fast in San Antonio, Texas!
Capture attention
Selling your mobile home is a SALE. And in every sale, you need to start by capturing the attention of potential buyers. This means making your mobile home stand out, or doing something that makes someone stop and look. Sometimes it’s a red-colored door in a neighborhood of bland doors. Maybe it’s a weird price that makes people look twice. Maybe it’s a funny title in a marketing brochure. But somehow you have to get their attention, without that the mobile home will sit….and sit… and keep on sitting. Nobody has time for that, am I right?
Differentiate from the neighbors
To draw in a potential customer, you should try to make your mobile home memorable. Consider putting colorful designs such as high grade windows, landscaping and even a new roof. These things will improve the look of your house and potentially raise its value. Think of curb appeal, what do people notice about your mobile home when they drive by? Nice new paint, freshly stained deck, nice landscaping and plants? Or is it dumpy and dirty outside with trash and random junk everywhere? Surprisingly small things can really help the curb appeal.
Remove the clutter
It is crucial to eliminate all the clutter from the mobile home before showing it off. This is because people need to picture themselves in that space. Therefore, you might want to get rid of some furniture to create a larger space, and also removing all your family photos and other personal belongings.
You can hire an expert to clean the clutter on your behalf. You could also take some things to Goodwill or put some stuff in storage temporarily. Just make sure it’s nice and tidy, looking good and smelling good as much as possible.
Sweeten the deal
You want to sell your mobile home faster in San Antonio, Texas? Then learn how to sweeten the deal. You can offer unique terms that will sweeten the pot. For instance, paying the closing costs for your customer. You could even offer a month of lot rent if your home is in a park or you could offer seller financing for the mobile home. Just be sure to do your research and consult your attorney before jumping in. You must make sure you have all the appropriate contracts and documents in place. This will attract more attention from those who are hunting for the best mobile home deals in San Antonio, Texas.
Market your mobile home everywhere
As you promote your mobile home, be sure to market it everywhere you can. Use social media, websites, blogs, Youtube video , and anything else you can think of to get the word out about your mobile home. Even if your real estate agent is marketing the property, you should do your own marketing to promote the property too. If you want to hire it out completely and not deal with any of the marketing, or scheduling showings, closing paper etc. Ask us about how we can sell the home for you with no commission. We can typically do this within 30 days and have done so many times. Sometimes we are able to offer a slightly higher price this way too compared to if we directly purchase your home. It is always our first choice to purchase the home directly for cash, but in certain situations this method works really well, feel free to ask us about it about our “30 day Purchase and Sale Agreement”
