Selling a Manufactured or Mobile Home in Utah: What You Need to Know
What’s the Difference Between a Manufactured and Mobile Home?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, here’s a quick breakdown:
- Mobile homes were built before 1976, before national HUD standards were in place.
- Manufactured homes were built after 1976 to meet updated safety codes.
In Utah, both types of homes can be bought and sold, but each has unique challenges—especially when you’re trying to sell fast, as-is, or without a realtor.
Common Situations Where Sellers Need Help
At Scout Peak Home Buyers, we work with Utah residents who are selling mobile or manufactured homes in situations like:
- The home is in a park and you’re paying lot rent
- It needs major repairs or updates
- It was inherited from a relative
- You need to move quickly
- You’re behind on payments or facing eviction
- You own the home, but not the land
No matter the reason, there’s a solution—and you don’t have to go through a traditional listing process to get it sold.
Can You Sell a Manufactured or Mobile Home in Utah Without Land?
Yes, absolutely. If your mobile home is in a park and you’re renting the lot, it’s still your personal property and you can sell it like a vehicle or other titled asset.
But you’ll need to:
- Check with the mobile home park manager
- Ensure your title is clear
- Determine if the buyer needs to qualify for park approval
If the home is older or in poor condition, your best option may be to sell to a local investor or cash buyer who understands the process and can close quickly.
What If You Own the Land Too?
If your mobile or manufactured home is on land you own, the process is more like a traditional real estate sale. You’ll be selling both the real property (land) and the structure (home) together.
In many cases, this makes the property more valuable—but it can also lead to:
- Foundation issues
- Title or deed complications
- Zoning restrictions
That’s why many Utah sellers choose to work directly with cash buyers who can handle both the house and land in one fast, simple transaction.
Challenges of Selling Through a Realtor
Most real estate agents don’t specialize in mobile or manufactured homes. And many buyers can’t get traditional loans for them—especially if:
- The home is older than 1976
- It’s not on a permanent foundation
- It needs major repairs
This leaves many sellers sitting on the market for months—or never selling at all.
