Can’t seem to get the search function to work here so here goes: Can anyone tell me the average spread between the “wholesale” BOOK value of a MH and the “Full Retail” asking price of a MH? In other words, if a MH has a retail price of $60,000, what would be a good guess at the wholesale value of that MH? Thanks! MJ

retail is about a 20 to 25% mark up as far as I know.

I’m reading a book “Buying A Manufactured Home” by Kevin Burnside, and he says Single-wide 18-23%, double-wide 19-24%
Triple-wide 20-26%

Hi MJ,
From what I’ve learned by talking with new dealers, a 25-30% mark-up is the rule for new mobile homes. As for used homes, there’s a zillion factors that will affect the price. So there’s really no “one price fits all” answer that I know of. Your particularly market, park, condition of home, etc, will have a bearing on the price. And also, in my opinion, the one most deciding factor for used homes especially, will be the financing. In most cases, no financing, no sale.
Best wishes,
Lonnie
