1. Where Possible, Upgrade
One of the many beauties of living in a mobile home is that it’s fairly easy to order and replace parts. Common items to upgrade a mobile home are new windows, doors and skirting. Anything that’s broken, faded, chipping or peeling should also be revamped. Address any aesthetically unpleasing components, including any particularly out-of-date paint colors, patterns, and textures.
2. Add Smart Features
Pay attention to the latest trends to help guide your decisions. Think about energy-efficient appliances, installing ceiling fans, Smart Home products, etc.
3. Get a Fresh Coat of Paint
Painting can be an avenue of expression, but don’t get too overwhelmed by the seemingly endless color options. You can paint your front door, bathrooms, bedrooms or living spaces – or even all of them together – to bring a fresh feel into your home.
Note, if you have vinyl-over-gypsum (VOG) wall panels in your manufactured home, you should select a primer and paint that adheres well to this surface and make sure you properly prepare them for the new paint!
4. Add or Improve the Carport
If you already have a carport, do a thorough clean and make small repairs. Brush or blow off the roof to get rid of any leaves, dirt, debris, and moss. And, if you don’t currently have a carport, it may be worth your while to install one.
5. Invest in the Community
In the manufactured home market, the park or community where the unit sits has a massive impact on the value of the home. If you’re a member of a co-op or sit on the board of your HOA, spend some time encouraging improvements to the community. Kickstarting projects like paving the roads, building a playground, dog park, or boosting overall curb appeal can hike up the value of your home and doesn’t require you to do or spend anything directly.
