Buying & Selling a Manufactured or Floating Home

There are some important differences from buying a standard home. Specifically, a manufactured home and a floating home do not come with land. Instead, if you plan to stay in one place for an extended time, you must lease your place in a manufactured, dwelling park or marine home community.

State law generally governs the sale of manufactured and floating homes. These laws generally serve to protect consumers. Both buyers and sellers should familiarize themselves with Oregon’s laws to ensure that they get the full benefit of the bargain.
