You must not be aware that mfg homes have gone up in price by about 60% and are now on 14 month wait.

Still going to be cheaper than a site-built home in a rural, high cost of living area.

The materials price increases that are causing factories to raise their prices are also hitting local contractors who do site-built homes.

In fact, if anything, the factories can insulate you from this price volatility more because they have a lot more bargaining leverage with their suppliers than a local contractor who's doing 10 homes a year.
