Q: Why Should a Consumer know the Book Value of their Home?

Currently the NADA Book Value is to manufactured homes, what the Kelly Blue Book is to automobiles. As the book value is used and/or considered by appraisers, banks, lenders, insurance companies, underwriters, federal & state courts, along with county tax assessors. It should be noted that NADA Guides provides the software (no longer books), which is used by 3rd party appraisers and/or trained individuals to produce a printed report, which if done correctly, produces a worthy value opinion in conjunction with NADA Software Calculations. Here are the facts;

1. Currently there are only two true ways to determine the value of a mobile, manufactured or modular home. The book value or a comparable sales appraisal. Both can change over time, however a comparable sales appraisal is subjective and the original value can be quickly diminished due to a repossession, shortsale or quick sale at a reduced price in the immediate area. As comparable sales appraisals do reflect 'current' market, caution should be used when there is large disparity between the book value and that of an appraisal of a home.

2. The book value reflects the manufacturers overall quality and construction standards, which will evenually determine if your home will appreciate or depreciate, yes I said appreciate. Below is an example that will highlight the importance of knowing the book value, prior to investment;

Selling Price: $60,000 > 1999 Liberty by Liberty Homes 28' x 66', Condition Good = $37,756.38

Selling Price: $60,000 > 1999 Palm Harbor by Palm Harbor Homes 28' x 66', Condition Good = $54,628.40

Selling Price: $60,000 > 1999 Clayton by Clayton Homes 28' x 66', Condtion Good = $65,696.16

1. If you have a seriel number for home, also referred to as a Vin#, you can get online help by clicking on the operator below. It should be noted that many States have replaced the factory serial number with a State Assigned number, making the identification process via serial number and/or Vin# not possible.

2. Find the homes Data Plate (see below), all homes built to HUD Codes, after June 15, 1976, have this form affixed inside the home, normally near the electrical breaker box, it is also commonly found behind the washer & dryer, on the back of a kitchen cabinet, inside the master bedroom closet.. This document will provide the manufacturer's name, trade/model name, year of manufacture and serial number.

Note: If the homes is missing the Data Plate, also called the Construction Code Label, the home cannot be offered for sale or occupied. This Data Plate is the same as a local building and safety department’s permit and/or certificate of occupancy, to assure safety and livability. You can get a duplicate from IBTS, either by calling (703) 481-2000 or by visiting their website at www.ibts.org. The website indicates that Data Plates can be obtained from 1 - 3 days.

3. Your next best choice is contacting the county that the home is located in, start with the county tax assessor. Many counties have merged information with their States DMV and/or Department of Revenue, this should provide you with the registered owner, size, make and model. At the county level, your last stand would be to contact the county building department, who issues permits for the placement of manufactured homes, they as well should have the all important information needed,

Always measure the home to ensure accuracy. Never guess! This is the single most important factor when considering the value determination of a manufactured home. If the home has different section lengths or widths, list all. Most manufacturers paperwork list the length of home with removable hitch, which is 3' to 4' feet.

Never include the hitch length with that of the home. Another easy way to get the right dimensions is with google maps, find the home using the address, then click on 'Earth', zoom in on the overhead of the home, put your pointer on the corner of the roof, right click your mouse, scroll down to measure distance, then left click on the other end of the house. As previously stated, you can also check with the county assessor who should have the accurate measurement of the home. Below are examples of the correct way to list the sections of your manufactured home.

Yes, currently you may request a value report from as far back as September 2006, you must indicate your needs on the section marked, 'Specific Reason/Goal' found on both the Advanced or Basic Book Value Request form. It is important to point out that you may only receive one value report at one time and/or time period.

Q: The Information on my Value Report is different from what I submitted?

The book value for a manufactured, mobile, or modular home is considered a depreciated replacement cost in retail dollars. By definition, depreciated replacement cost is the cost to replace an item, less accrued depreciation. Factory-built homes do not always depreciate; with this knowledge, the NADA Guides Software allows for either appreciation or depreciation, depending on the current market conditions. It is also important to point out that the report you receive is an opinion, based on information provided by you, in conjunction with NADA Guides Software, along with trained staff.

As every purchase transaction is different, there is no easy answer to that question. When selling or buying a manufactured home there are many factors to consider. The book value should be used as a tool by either the buyer or seller, either to support a lower purchase price or support a higher selling price.
