Thanks for your question. I think you are referring to manufactured homes, like mobile homes, that may decrease in value over time. You are right that the largest segment of prefabricated homes in the US are these manufactured mobile homes. This article discusses the newer types of ‘prefabs’ that are actually built to last as long as a traditional stick built home and would not depreciate over time.

Or are you talking about newer kinds of prefabs that don’t simply just look nicer than prefabs of older generations? My husband and I are getting ready to buy some land and a prefab sounds nice, but I don’t want it deteriorating so quickly. We live in Maine and imagine a wood A-frame Cabin, and are set on having a small carbon footprint with this one, an “eco-small house” is the most important thing, besides that our minds are open. So I’d love to hear the answer on the devaluation question. Thanks so much!
