Manufactured homes, often referred to as mobile homes, are becoming increasingly popular as an affordable housing solution in the U.S., especially amidst rising housing costs and a shortage of traditional homes. Buyers are turning to platforms like Amazon and Facebook Marketplace for options, exemplified by Julie Johnson's purchase of a pre-owned manufactured home for $52,000.

Johnson’s experience highlights both the challenges and advantages of achieving homeownership through manufactured homes.
