With another year wrapping up, those in the real estate market might be wondering…what’s coming in 2025?

An increase in housing inventory

In Florida, the housing inventory has risen by 40.1 percent in the last year, totaling 198,000 homes available. Many of these homes are newly constructed, single-family homes. The inventory of manufactured homes increased by 62 percent from 2023 to 2024 in Florida. While this may mean more competition for sellers, buyers have plenty of options if looking for manufactured homes for sale in Florida.

An affordable option

According to MH Insider’s 2024 survey, 85 percent of people are satisfied with their mobile or manufactured home purchase. As we move into 2025, the affordability of manufactured homes in Florida remains a key driver in their growing popularity. In 2023, the average cost of a new manufactured home was $113,951, offering a more accessible option compared to traditional site-built homes. For buyers seeking even greater savings, existing manufactured homes averaged just $69,781, making them an attractive choice for those looking to enter the housing market or downsize affordably. (MH Insider) These price points highlight why manufactured homes in Florida continue to align with 2025 housing trends, providing cost-effective, high-quality living solutions in a market where affordability and accessibility are increasingly important.

Potential deals

With more inventory on the market, buyers have a choice. Add in the flip of the calendar, and an affordable option might become even more affordable. Many sellers will be looking to move 2024 inventory, not holding onto it in the new year. That means there might be deals for buyers. We foresee many Q1 sales, which might give buyers the chance to get into a brand-new home in a great neighborhood for even less.

As we step into 2025, the opportunities in the real estate market are more dynamic than ever. With increasing housing inventory and the growing popularity of manufactured homes, it’s clear that the industry is evolving to meet the needs of today’s buyers and sellers.

At Garber Communities, we’re here to help you navigate the Florida manufactured homes trends for 2025 with confidence. Whether you’re exploring affordable options or looking to capitalize on Florida’s expanding inventory, our expertise ensures you’ll be well-positioned for success.
