Modular Homes Under $200,000

At the lower end, say $120,000, every home you consider should be above 2,000sq ft. As with any budget, you will get more square footage with Ranch or Cape Cod style homes, but at this price point a family of five should have enough space to be comfortable. Some standard plans will start to have options to build in a garage. You can even start to consider using some of your budget to finish the basement or attic space to add more livable space to your home.

If your budget is closer to the $200,000 mark, you should be expecting around 3,000sq ft. to work with. Your options now extend to building modern steel-frame houses, high efficiency housing and even completely custom houses. With specialty houses like these, you’re often sacrificing total square footage for the luxury amenities of a modern home.
