Things to know about the Mobile home buying process

Our REALTOR services are 100% free for BUYERS, but there are other fees involved including but not limited to the following:
Community Application fees (usually between $40 and $60)
State of Delaware DMV fee (2.75% of the purchase price of the mobile home Which will increase to 3.25% on October 1st 2007)
Lawyers settlement fee in the amount of $400
Any financing charges you may incur from your lender
Most of the mobile homes in the area priced under $180,000 are on LEASED LAND. This means you own the home but not the property below it. Local ground rents can range from a low of $350 a month to over $1000 a month depending on the community and the placement of the lot. Ground rent tends to go up every year. Most of the local communities have been going up 3% to 5% each year but some have gone up significantly higher.
Every mobile home community we know of has an approval process which includes a credit check and a criminal background check. If your credit score is not 620 or higher there is a good chance that you will not be accepted as a resident.
Each community has different rules and regulations. Be sure to thoroughly read the community rules and regulations BEFORE signing a contract to purchase.
If your credit is questionable please consult a lender prior to starting your search. There is no use looking at $100,000 doublewides if all you can afford is a $20,000 singlewide. We have lenders who would be happy to work with you.

(you are welcome to use whoever you wish for financing but it can be difficult to find a lender for homes on rented ground. Another option, if this will be a second home is to use a home equity loan on your primary home for the purchase)
There are a large number of homes listed on our website with Ground Rents displaying ZERO. Unless the home is priced over $180,000 the GROUND RENT in the amount of ZERO is probably erroneous. Our website displays not only our listings but those of every REALTOR in Sussex County Delaware. Chances are they left the field blank because they did not know the correct amount or did not call the community office to verify the correct amount. Even when the GROUND RENT is listed on our web site it is always in YOUR BEST INTEREST to call the community office BEFORE you make an offer on a house to verify the GROUND RENT amount.

SEARCH REHOBOTH BEACH CONDOS AND TOWNHOMES

With the average price of stick built homes located miles from the beach being well over $350K and homes close to the beach costing over a million dollars, mobile homes ranging from $25K to $200K look pretty appealing. In many parks you can have the same waterfront view as a 1.5 million dollar stick built home for less than $80K. Many local mobile parks also have Marinas or boat slips in your back yard.
