Top saving opportunities for homeowners through land lease housing

For those of you considering a land lease home, here are some of the top savings opportunities associated with choosing a land lease home over a site-built home:

• Land lease homes are significantly less expensive than site-built homes, with a lower average sales price.
• Land lease homes are built in a factory using an assembly-line process that allows for greater efficiency and speed of construction. This results in cost savings that can be passed on to the homeowner. Additionally, land lease home builders have the flexibility to negotiate savings on many components used in building a home, with the benefit of these savings being passed on directly to the land lease homebuyer. Additionally, since land lease homes are built within factories, the construction process is not hindered by weather conditions, theft, or vandalism.
• Modern advancements in the technology used in land lease housing factories offer a variety of architectural styles and exterior finishes to choose from, among other customizations, that were not previously available when purchasing a land lease home.  Potential buyers have a variety of floor plans, layouts, design styles, and customization options to choose from, without having to look elsewhere or pay a higher price point. (Please note that this customization option may not be available at all land lease communities.)
• Land lease homes benefit from the economies of scale, resulting from purchasing large quantities of materials, products, and appliances at one time as opposed to one-time orders that are often placed on a case-by-case basis when it comes to the construction of a site-built home.
• Land lease homes offer enhanced energy efficiency, achieved with upgraded levels of insulation and more efficient heating and cooling systems. This provides another source of savings for homeowners, as they save on their energy bills in the long run.
• The flexibility and efficiency of the land lease housing process allow for greater customization of each home to meet the buyer’s needs and lifestyle. This means that the home can be mapped out and customized before it even enters the construction phase, resulting in no delays or extra costs. This includes high-end interior features such as fireplaces, top of the line appliances and state of the art kitchens and bathrooms. However, please note that the customization feature may not be available at all land lease communities.
