Prefab instead of rehab in wisconsin?

Considering replacing a house rather than rehabing it. The house we own was built as a small 1 room cottage. In the 1940s. It has since been added onto several times to make it a 2 bedroom house with an odd floorplan and needs to be completely gutted at this point.

Im considering just replacing it with a basic prefab if i can find one at a price that makes sense. Anyone have any experience with costs of cheap prefab homes in southern wi? Just looking for 1500sq ft or less 2-3bed homes

Consider a modular home. Goes up much faster since the house above the foundation and ground floor is built in sections (modules) in a factory and shipped to the homesite on flat bed trucks.

Modulars are indistinguishable from homes stick-built entirely on site.
