When Julie Johnson and her husband decided to purchase their own home, they turned to an unexpected place: Facebook Marketplace. One month and $52,000 later, a pre-owned 2,200 square-foot, four-bedroom, two-bathroom manufactured home was cut in half and delivered in two pieces on the back of a truck to her address in central North Carolina. Manufactured housing, sometimes called mobile homes, are homes made in a factory rather than constructed on site, and they have been surging in popularity this year amid America’s housing crisis. Elevated mortgage rates and a chronic shortage of homes in the US have pushed homeownership increasingly out of reach for many Americans, fueling their economic angst. A September CNN poll conducted by SSRS found that the cost of housing was the most important economic issue for nearly one-fourth of likely voters who rent their homes. As of September, the median existing-home sales price in America was $404,500, marking the 15th consecutive month of year-over-year price increases, according to the National Association of Realtors. President-elect Donald Trump has said his economic plan will help make homes more affordable — but some Americans aren’t waiting around to find out. Instead, they’re turning to the internet for lower-cost options, whether a pop-up foldable house kit, a tiny home or a traditional mobile home. Around 6% of the housing stock in the US is manufactured homes, mostly in rural areas. More than 77,000 new manufactured homes were shipped in 2024 through September — a 16% jump from the same period last year, according to data from the US Census Bureau.
