Comprehensive Manufactured Housing Research Insights
Zelman’s Manufactured Housing research centers on thematic reports that examine the structural, economic, and behavioral forces influencing factory-built housing demand. These reports explore affordability trends, community economics, financing access, regulatory frameworks, placement constraints, and consumer sentiment surrounding manufactured homes. We analyze shifts in renter-to-owner transitions, demographic segments driving demand, supply limitations within land-lease communities, and the impact of broader housing shortages on manufactured home adoption. Also, we forecast national manufactured housing shipments and average selling prices. Additionally, our thematic work evaluates how macroeconomic changes, such as interest-rate movements, income growth, or migration patterns, shape both near-term demand and long-term opportunity within this segment. By blending quantitative analysis with qualitative context, Zelman’s research reveals how manufactured housing functions as a critical, evolving component of attainable housing supply in the United States.
