Haven Homes is building while other people aren't

Haven Homes — manufacturer of custom modular homes, otherwise referred to as prefab homes — happens to be experiencing a hard-to-find phenomenon in today's housing market: Haven Homes is selling houses. Haven Homes makes customized mansions that cost less and are completed in a fraction of the time it takes to finish a conventional home. There’s a reason why buyers are looking at manufactured, modular houses from Haven Homes.

Haven Homes are less expensive

The Haven Homes concept is no different than the idea of manufactured homes that most people are familiar with. The pieces of the homes are built in a factory, then shipped and assembled on site. The difference is that Haven Homes are way bigger, like the recent six bedroom, six and half bath built by them in Bethesda, Md.

If a normal home payment sends you running for quick payday loans, these homes aren’t for you. The six-bedroom house mentioned above cost $ 2.5 million. A building of comparable size built traditionally would cost far more.

Designing Haven Homes is user-friendly

"Computer-driven drafting is mapping out prefab rooms with the ease of a Lego game," says The Washington Post. Home buyers who want customized homes can quickly and easily design the houses themselves. Part of the draw of Haven Homes is that, within certain limitations, buyers can get exactly what they want faster and easier than they would otherwise.

More people are checking out modular homes. The recession could be causing people to worry less about perceived stigma, and worrying more about saving money. The photos on the Haven Homes site do not look like typical manufactured homes. After they're complete, these high-end prefab homes are indistinguishable from "regular" homes.

Haste without waste

Haven Homes modular units are less expensive because costs of labor are far less. The modular mansions take only a couple of weeks to manufacture in the factory, and just a couple of days to assemble at the building site. Finishing the home — building staircases, constructing the outer finish and hooking up plumbing and electricity — only takes a couple of weeks, too.

Homes similar in size take several months in order to complete with traditional construction. Easier customization, lower prices and faster construction amid a market fraught with peril and mortgage loan modification, are seeing more Haven Homes move than others struggling to sell vacant homes laying derelict to desolation of the marketplace.
