Selling a Mobile Home Fast in Arizona

Mobile homes and manufactured homes have different selling considerations than traditional houses. Here's what you need to know about selling quickly in Arizona.

Mobile Home vs. Manufactured Home

Mobile Home: Built before June 15, 1976 Manufactured Home: Built after June 15, 1976 to HUD standards

The distinction matters for financing and titling purposes.

Title Considerations

Personal Property (On Rented Land)

  • Titled like a vehicle through ADOT
  • Requires title transfer
  • Easier to sell quickly
  • Often in mobile home parks

    • Real Property (On Owned Land)

  • Affixed to the land
  • Title eliminated ("de-titled")
  • Transferred with a deed
  • Sold like traditional real estate

    • Challenges Selling Mobile Homes

    Limited Financing Options

  • Most lenders won't finance older mobile homes
  • Manufactured homes may qualify for FHA/VA
  • Cash buyers are often the only option for older units

    • Depreciation

    Unlike houses, mobile homes often depreciate in value, especially personal property units.

    Park Rules

    If in a mobile home park:
  • Park must approve new buyer
  • Background/credit checks required
  • May have age restrictions
  • Lot rent transfers to buyer

    • Age and Condition

    Older mobile homes (pre-1976) are very difficult to sell traditionally.
