Modular Homes Under $100,000

At the low end of this cost spectrum, you should still be going with standard plans and making as few alterations as possible. When you get up toward $100,000, your options really start to multiply. You’re no longer constrained to the factory settings on your home and your potential square footage can jump as high as 2,000sq ft. If you’re building on a smaller plot of land and still want a yard, consider a two-story home as it will take up less of your property while still giving you substantial living space.

BUT. This number only covers the cost of manufacturing the home! You will NOT be able to get a true modular home using a professional builder for under $100,000. If you're looking for a home that inexpensive, modular is unfortunately probably not a good option for you.

Instead, you could consider a different, currently very trendy type of home - a shipping container home! These homes are created out of new or used shipping containers and can be large, small, or anywhere in between. While they're not modular homes, they can be good options for people looking to build safe, attractive, and affordable homes.
