New construction: Pre Fab or Stick Built

Gaetano Citera
Posted

Under contract to buy a home that needs to be completely torn down. 

I was planning on building the home in the traditional stick built style in my budget but am wondering if doing prefab may save some money/have other benefits. It will be quicker I am assuming and will save money on my construction loan interest as a result but want to hear some other thoughts from others with more experience with new builds.

for some context I am in Dutchess county ny, property has public sewer/water. 

Also if you have experience with prefab and have recommendations in the tristate area let me know!

If you go with a modular, you'll not only save but comps should be that of a site built home.  Most RE agents are clueless to this fact.  I'm a dealer in NC and have been in the biz since the late 90's. I deal with manufactured, modular and site built.

 I have a friend out of PA that sets homes in the tri-state region and I can recommend some manufacturers up your way but need to know more particulars of what you're looking for, as in basic ranch, one story/two story, etc... I'd be more than happy to get on a call with you to discuss. You just need to know the process
