Manufactured Home Design – Single-section – The Crane J68EP8

Introducing Oak Creek Homes’ largest single-section Smart Cottage, fittingly named The Crane, built at Oak Creek’s Fort Worth Plant. The Crane J68EP8 has truly elevated the concept of “Affordable Luxury” to new heights. Not many manufactured home builders can construct a quality home sturdy and heavy enough to be lifted into the air by a crane and securely positioned on beams. Hence, the name “Crane”.

The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Smart Cottage, spanning 1190 square feet, was originally built for a community near Denton, in North Texas. Its contemporary design was a collaborative effort between Dave Zulejkic of First Step Homes and Oak Creek Homes, tailored to seamlessly integrate this manufactured home into a 2-story structure with a garage and storage space below, adding 1190 square feet of functional area. The Estancia Toro Perezoso community was highly impressed with the design and incorporated over 100 Smart Cottage: Cranes into their upscale development. Presently, approximately a dozen homes have been installed and are available for purchase, with construction in progress for several more.

The Crane offers comfort and convenience with its 8-foot covered front porch and luxurious interior features, including tall banks of windows, a full-size kitchen with an optional island and 6-cabinet pantry, and a spa-inspired primary ensuite with double sinks and a walk-in tile shower. Take the virtual tour of this community’s Crane model: https://oakceek.online/Toro-Crane.

The floorplan has proven immensely popular and is now available as a single-story setup at our 19 Oak Creek home retail centers across Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Explore every room of the Crane and take a video tour here:

Manufactured Home Safety: Flood Preparedness and Rain Protection Guide

Living in a manufactured home provides comfort and affordability, but like any residence, it requires protective measures against natural disasters, particularly floods and heavy rain. These events can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and complete destruction, posing risks to both your home and family. Recognizing these dangers is vital for taking necessary precautions to safeguard your mobile home.

Weather Vigilance: Stay Informed for Preparedness

Initiate flood preparedness by staying informed about the weather. Regularly check local weather forecasts and warnings, keeping abreast of potential heavy rain or flood events. Visit noaa.gov/weather for the latest updates. Formulate an emergency plan with your family, including evacuation routes and a designated meeting point.

Roof Fortification: Inspection and Coating

To fortify your manufactured home against heavy rain, start by inspecting the roof. Ensure it’s in good condition, free of leaks, with all seals around vents and chimneys intact. Consider applying a water-resistant coating for enhanced protection. Additionally, clean gutters and downspouts to prevent clogs that could lead to water pooling on the roof.

Foundation Protection: Skirting, Sealing, and Tie Downs

Direct your attention to the foundation. While manufactured homes are elevated, reducing flood risk, precautions like installing skirting around the base are essential. This prevents floodwaters from reaching the underside of your home. Check the foundation for cracks or vulnerabilities, sealing them to prevent water infiltration. Inspect tie downs and have a contractor repair or add more if needed.

Flood Defense: Barriers, Sandbags, and Elevation

In flood-prone areas, invest in flood barriers or sandbags. These create a protective barrier around your manufactured home during heavy rain, effectively diverting water away from your property. Elevate crucial appliances, such as the furnace and water heater, above flood levels to minimize damage.

Swift Safety: Crafting an Emergency Kit

Lastly, prepare an emergency kit for quick evacuation. Include essentials like non-perishable food, water, medications, important documents, and a first aid kit. A spare set of clothes is also advisable.

Conclusion:

Proactively take steps to prepare your manufactured home for floods and heavy rain. Enhance your home’s resilience, ensuring the safety and well-being of your family. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and be ready to face the challenges that nature may present.

FAQs:

1. Q: How can I stay informed about the weather?
   • A: Regularly check local forecasts and warnings. Visit noaa.gov/weather for the latest updates.
2. Q: What should be included in my emergency kit?
   • A: Essentials such as non-perishable food, water, medications, important documents, and a first aid kit.

Winterize your Manufactured Home Efficiently

Winter has arrived, and it’s time to safeguard your manufactured home against the chill. Winterization is the key to maintaining a warm and cozy living space while preventing potential damage and keeping energy bills in check. As proud advocates of safety and preparedness, Oak Creek Homes, a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador^TM, is here to guide you through the process.

Insulation is Key

Start by assessing the insulation in your home, especially if it’s an older mobile home model. Adequate insulation is vital for temperature control and reducing energy consumption. Check your home’s insulation rating and, if needed, consider upgrading to an ENERGY STAR® certified Oak Creek Home for enhanced insulation.

Skirting and Underbelly Maintenance

Inspect and repair damaged skirting around your home’s base. A well-maintained skirt prevents cold air from infiltrating the space beneath your home. Additionally, check the underbelly for gaps or damage and address them promptly.

Seal Windows and Doors

Properly sealed windows and doors are crucial for retaining heat. Use caulk to seal gaps and consider adding weather stripping for enhanced insulation. This simple step can significantly reduce heat loss and energy expenses.

Heating System Checkup

Before winter sets in, have a professional inspect your heating system. Clean or replace filters, check for leaks and ensure optimal functioning. A well-maintained system keeps your home warm without excessive energy use.

Pipe Insulation and Freeze Protection

Prevent frozen pipes by insulating exposed ones. Use insulation or heating tape in vulnerable areas. Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses, and shut off exterior water sources to avoid freezing.

Roof Inspection

Inspect your roof for damage or leaks. Repair or replace damaged shingles and ensure it can withstand snow loads in snowy areas. Proper roof maintenance is essential for a warm and dry home.

Programmable Thermostats

Consider installing a programmable thermostat to regulate temperatures efficiently. Many Oak Creek Homes come equipped with one. Program it to lower temperatures when you’re away or sleeping, reducing overall energy use.

By proactively taking these measures, you can effectively winterize your manufactured or mobile home, ensuring a comfortable and energy-efficient living space throughout the colder months.

The post Preparing your Manufactured Home for a Storm appeared first on Oak Creek Homes.

No matter what you have heard from anybody, your mobile, manufactured, or modular home DEFINITELY has value!  No matter what year it was built, how many times it has been moved, or what condition it is in, your home is valuable to someone. And, depending on who is buying your home, its value can vary.

Let’s take a look at some of the different values your home can have.

Retail Value

The retail value of your mobile / manufactured home is the estimated amount of money that a retail buyer should pay for the home.  A retail buyer is an end user of the home and is not looking to resell the home.

Wholesale value

The wholesale value of a mobile / manufactured home (also referred to as trade value) is the estimated amount of money that a wholesale buyer would pay for your home. A wholesale buyer is a buyer who intends to resell the home to a retail buyer for a profit.

Usually, the wholesale value of a mobile / manufactured home is lower than the home’s retail value.

Loan Value

The loan value of a mobile / manufactured home is the estimated amount of money that a bank or other lender would issue as a loan against the home.  Although the loan value can be the same as the wholesale value of a home, it can also differ in some cases.

Value Considerations

Mobile homes and modular homes can vary in their ability to hold their value depending on several factors such as location, age, condition, and market demand. Here are some general considerations:

Location

Like traditional homes, the location of a mobile home or modular home can significantly impact its value. If the home is situated in a desirable area with good schools, amenities, and a strong housing market, it is more likely to hold its value.

Age & Condition

The age and condition of the mobile home or modular home can also affect its value. Newer homes that are well-maintained and in good condition generally hold their value better than older homes that may require repairs or updates.

Market Demand

The demand for mobile homes and modular homes can vary depending on local market conditions. In areas where there is a high demand for affordable housing, mobile homes, and modular homes may hold their value better compared to areas with lower demand.

Ownership Type

Ownership type can also affect the value of mobile homes and modular homes. If the homeowner owns both the land and the home, it is more likely to hold its value compared to homes where only the structure is owned and the land is leased.

Depreciation

It’s important to note that mobile homes, in particular, can depreciate in value over time, similar to vehicles. This means that their value may decline over the years, which can impact their ability to hold their value.

Resale Market

The resale market for mobile homes and modular homes can also impact their ability to hold their value. If there is a robust market for used mobile homes or modular homes in a particular area, it may be easier to sell them and hold their value.

How To Find The Value Of Your Home?

It’s important to note that estimating the value of a mobile or manufactured home can be more complex than traditional homes due to factors such as depreciation, location, and ownership type. Therefore, it’s recommended to use multiple methods and consult with qualified professionals for a more accurate estimate of your home’s value. Here are some things you should consider:

Appraisal by a Professional

Hiring a professional appraiser who specializes in mobile or manufactured homes can provide you with an accurate estimate of your home’s value. Appraisers typically consider factors such as the home’s age, condition, location, size, features, and comparable sales in the area to determine its value. You can find qualified appraisers through a local real estate or appraisal association, or by searching online.

Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)

You can request a CMA from a local real estate agent who has experience with mobile or manufactured homes. A CMA involves comparing your home to similar homes that have recently sold in your area. Real estate agents have access to databases with information on recent sales, which can help them provide an estimated value for your mobile or manufactured home.

Online Valuation Tools

There are several online valuation tools that provide estimates of mobile or manufactured home values. These tools use algorithms and data from various sources to estimate the value of your home based on factors such as location, size, and condition. However, it’s important to note that online valuation tools may not always be accurate and should be used as a rough estimate.

Local Tax Assessment

Some local tax assessors’ offices may provide assessed values for mobile or manufactured homes. However, these values are typically used for tax purposes and may not always reflect the true market value of the home.

Manufactured Home Value Guides

There are several manufactured home value guides available online, such as the NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) Manufactured Housing Appraisal Guide and the Blue Book for Manufactured Homes. With the NADA option, you can purchase a report that gives you an estimated value of your home. The cost of this report varies from $30 to $50, depending on how detailed of a report you would like.
