What a used mobile home in Texas is worth

There is no price list, and I will not invent a range. A used home is worth what a buyer will pay for that home, in that place, with that paperwork. Text me photos of your home here and I'll get you an estimate. The notes below are the things I actually look at. They are not a formula.

What moves the offer

Age, and which kind of home it is. Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1201 defines a mobile home as a home built before June 15, 1976. A HUD-code manufactured home is the later home, the one with a HUD label. I treat the year as a fact, not as a chart of dollars.
Single-wide or double-wide, and the length and width. A 16x76 is not the same home as a double-wide. Write the size in the text.
Condition. Roof, floors, frame, and whether anyone can live in it. I do not need it repaired first. The detail of that is on the as-is page.
Where it sits in Texas, and whether it can stay. Moving costs real money: a permit, a carrier, and setup. I will not guess that cost from a photo. If it has to move, say so.
Park or land. In a park I buy the home only, and the park still has to allow it. On your land, the sale might be the home only, the lot with the home, a lot that already has water, septic, and power, or the land itself if it is from 0 to 5 acres. Those are different offers. See the park page, the old-home lot page, selling land, and lots with utilities.
Title and liens. A statement in your name is simpler than a lost one or a lien. I still look. The paperwork pages are the title page, selling without the title, and selling with a lien.

The free number you can look up

The county appraisal district's appraised value is public. It is a tax value. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts property tax basics page says the appraisal district, not the state, sets that value as of January 1. The Comptroller's local property appraisal and tax directory says the Comptroller does not have your local appraisal, and it lists the appraisal district for each county. Call that district and ask how the home is listed. Do not treat their number as a cash offer. I do not.

I am not quoting a book value or a retail price guide on this page. Those reports are someone else's product, and a number from a guide is still not what I will pay. Photos are the next step.

Questions people ask

Can you tell me a price from this page?

No. I do not publish price ranges. Age, size, condition, where it sits, whether it can stay there, and the paperwork all change the offer. Text me photos and I will tell you what I can pay after I see them.

What changes the value of a used mobile home?

The year, and whether it is a pre-1976 mobile home or a later HUD-code home. Single-wide or double-wide, and the length. The roof, floors, and frame. Where it is in Texas, and what it would take to move it. A park home is a home-only sale and the park has to allow it. A home on land may be the home only, or the lot, or the land itself if it is from 0 to 5 acres. A missing statement or a lien changes what can actually be sold.

Is the county appraisal the cash price?

No. The county appraisal district appraises the property for taxes. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts says the Comptroller does not have your local appraisal, and that value questions go to that district. An appraised value is a tax number. It is not my offer.

Does a pre-1976 home sell for the same as a newer one?

I will not put a dollar gap on it. Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1201 defines a mobile home as one built before June 15, 1976, and the HUD label is the plate on a HUD-code home built after that date. Parks and buyers notice that difference. Text me the year and photos instead of using a chart.

How do I get an estimate from you?

Text me photos of your home here and I'll get you an estimate. Include the year, the size, and the city or park if you can. There is no fee to ask. If you would rather type it, the form is on this page.
