Considering buying a new manufactured home, modular home, or prefabricated home in the vast state of Idaho? Known as the Gem State, Idaho is located in the Rocky Mountains bordering Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Utah and has a mostly dry, continental climate. Idaho manufactured homes are engineered specifically for the unique characteristics of the environment, with a focus on energy efficiency and minimal long-term maintenance. Idaho is best known for its spuds along with its amazing farmlands, one interesting fact about Idaho is that it touches six states and Canada. With a current population just under 1.7 million people, the average sales price of a home in Idaho is $282,000. In comparison, the average starting price range of a modular or manufactured home is $55-$75 per square foot. So, the average starting cost of an 1,800 square foot prefabricated home is $117,000, including land and necessary site improvements making modular housing a fiscally responsible option for Idaho’s would-be home buyers. These prices can vary in metropolitan areas such as Boise and Idaho Falls, where the cost of land and site improvements typically higher.
