Top 5 Things You Didn’t Know About Buying a Manufactured Home in Alabama

If you’ve been thinking about buying a home, you might be surprised how easy—and affordable—it can be to go the manufactured home route. At Oxford Housing, we talk to folks every day who didn’t realize just how much is possible when it comes to buying a manufactured home in Alabama. So today, we’re busting a few myths and sharing five things you probably didn’t know!

1. You don’t need perfect credit to get started

Let’s clear this up right away: You do not need a perfect credit score to begin the buying process. In fact, we don’t even run your credit until you’re ready. If all you have is a driver’s license and a few minutes, we can show you your options, talk through financing, and help you make a plan without pressure.

We know that buying a home is a big deal. You deserve to be treated like a person, not a number—and that’s what we do here.

2. You can live large for less

Manufactured homes are one of the best values in today’s housing market. With the way site-built home prices have climbed over the past few years, more people are turning to manufactured housing to get more space, more features, and more comfort—for less money.

We have homes starting under $100K with modern kitchens, walk-in closets, and open-concept living. Why overpay for less space?

3. Manufactured homes can be customized more than you think

Forget the idea that all manufactured homes look the same. Today’s models come with tons of customizable options—from flooring and cabinets to layouts and lighting. Want a farmhouse sink? Done. Prefer a split floor plan with a big primary suite? No problem.

You can choose a home that fits your style, your budget, and your family’s needs—and we’ll help you every step of the way.

4. Our 90-day punch list protects your peace of mind

This is something that makes us different. Every home we sell comes with a 90-day punch list. That means if anything needs a touch-up, fix, or adjustment after you move in, we’ve got you covered.

We check in, make sure everything’s good, and handle it—no stress on your end. It’s our way of making sure your new home is everything you hoped it would be.

5. Not all dealers are created equal

We hear it all the time: “I went somewhere else and felt pressured,” or “They ran my credit without asking.” That’s not how we do business.

At Oxford Housing, we believe in respecting your time, your budget, and your boundaries. Whether you’re ready to buy today or just looking to learn, we’re here to answer your questions and guide you—not push you.

Thinking about making a move?

If buying a home is on your mind, don’t let outdated info or past experiences hold you back. Manufactured homes are beautiful, budget-friendly, and easier to buy than most people realize—and we’re here to walk you through it, step by step.
