Modular Housing: The Future Of Housing?

While modular homebuilding is not exactly new – it got its start in the late 1940s, according to Building Systems Magazine – this form of prefab construction appears to be gradually catching on as buyers realize that modern modular doesn't mean second-rate or boring, and that factory construction has its efficiencies and advantages... But for some buyers, cost matters more than customization. In Iowa, moderate-income families can buy simple modular ranches from the nonprofit Rural Housing Institute for as little as $47,000."
