Can Mobile Home Parks Address the Affordable Housing Crisis? Mobile homes present a viable solution to the affordable housing problem. Here's why: Cost Efficiency: Mobile homes cost significantly less than traditional houses, ranging from $30,000 to $100,000, compared to the median U.S. home price of around $400,000. Quality Construction: The factory-built process allows for the cost-effective production of quality housing units. Affordable Living: Residents own their homes and lease the land, making overall housing costs more manageable compared to traditional homeownership. Can mobile home parks be the answer to making housing affordable for more people? Let's explore this further.

A ominous issue which further exasterbstes the issue is the skyrocketing increase in Homeowners and HOA insurances - this is having a direct effect on Home Builders, Bank / Lenders and new buyers . Example : Two years ago CA average HO cost for the $300,000 new home averaging $1,950. This year $4’500 and a 36% increase being requested. We see a similar trend in FL, TX and potential Carastrophe prone states .
More than a year ago, Ali Wolf, Zonda’s chief economist, told Fortune the $300,000 starter home was going extinct. At the time, the housing data and consultancy firm found the share of projects under $300,000 was declining all across the country, and so was affordability. “We’re creating, inadvertently, a renter society not because of choice but because of force,” Wolf said. Rent isn’t cheap either, even though some predict renting will be cheaper than buying for years. Even so, in Wolf’s mind, $300,000 homes should have been attainable. But variables ranging from the cost of building materials to land availability to the lack of housing to regulation made it so much harder to build affordable homes—and a lot of it stemmed from the pandemic-fueled housing boom. bit.ly/4cqEFIU

How does a person enter home ownership today? How does a person find a so called “starter” home? Where does a person begin? What are minimum requirements to secure financing to purchase home? These and many other significant questions face anyone today who may be considering purchasing a a home, particularly first-time home buyers aspiring toward a starter home.

Today is the day, the publication of Start to Finish 3. A lot has changed since the publication of the second edition four years ago. We have faced a pandemic, the 2019 Conservative election win feels like a lifetime ago and the housing market is starting to see the effects of the end of Help to Buy compounded by dramatically increased mortgage rates. Amongst all this change one thing can be certain, Lichfields will continue to source ‘on the ground’ examples of the delivery of large-scale housing sites across England and Wales. We focus on what has actually happened, how long things took and what has been built to help inform realistic assumptions about delivery. As well as updating our current data, this edition now includes 297 examples with an additional 43 new examples of schemes delivering 2,000 dwellings or more. But what about brownfield I hear you cry, recent policy shifts have increased the focus on housing delivery on previously developed land and higher density apartment schemes. Fear not, this edition covers the distinctive delivery profile of large scale apartment schemes in urban areas outside London for the first time. What are you waiting for, read the full insight at the link below. Lichfields UK https://lnkd.in/eMybHN2x

We at Princeton concur with Lucy Ellis, that the weakness in the underlying supply of new dwellings has little to do with the quantum of development approvals, but is due to a large backlog of properties that have been approved for development that are yet to commence.

Personal opinion: We must pursue insurance regulation with extreme caution. Just like activists going after non profit developers is placing the blame in the wrong location, when non profit insurance providers must raise their costs due to their expenses, regulation has the potential to drive providers out of the business entirely. The villain is climate change and a mental health crisis that is tanking insurance companies' reserves and profits. We knew these things would create chaos eventually. We must lay the groundwork now for a robust affordable housing program that can literally weather the changes ahead. Let's bring insurers and non profits with lived experience in mental illness to the table and create some solutions together.
Excellent article on the many challenges facing the owners of affordable housing. https://lnkd.in/gm9wrJFx

DID YOU KNOW? * Economist Aziz Sunderji thinks we should pay more attention to housing permits than starts (and it’s not because permits lead starts—they don’t). First, permits have historically been more accurate in identifying overall trends in the housing market. Second, permits are based on a larger sample size than housing starts. Partly for these reasons, permits are less volatile than starts. Unsurprisingly then, permits didn’t surge like starts, but still climbed healthily. Single‐family permits rose by 1% in February to 1,031,000. Multifamily authorizations rose 4% to 487,000. - Leonard Steinberg of Compass
