The Institute for Building Technology and Safety (IBTS) has collected data for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). IBTS data thus becomes “official” federal data.

What follows following the recap of the national totals reporting in October and are for the manufactured home “Shipments and Production Summary Report 08/01/2020 – 08/31/2020.” The totals of that state-based data were reported earlier this month in an MHProNews report an analysis.

Conventional Housing Soaring…Affordable Manufactured Housing Struggling,
But There Is More to Know…

American Enterprise Institute Housing Center Director Edward Pinto, J.D., has issued a warning that the strong rise of conventional housing pricing and costs are not sustainable. Their data points to a need for manufactured housing to step up and meet the industry’s long-stated potential.

But there is no such surge, why? After years of the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) bragging about their various ‘promotions’ via advertorials, videos, social media, and so on…why is it that manufactured housing is lagging, even by their own admission?

 

ManufacturedHousingInstituteLogoMHILogoQuoteShipmentsDownPotentialHighManufacturedHomeProNews
MHI’s own recent admission that shipments are in decline logically debunks their claim of ‘momentum.’  More recently, what happened to MHI providing data akin to what MHARR does for monthly and year-to-date shipment data? Is it too embarrassing?
MHinsiderShipmentProductionSalesTrendsSpinReportManufacturedHousingMHProNews
MHInsider has MHI insiders on its masthead. Note that instead of showing recent data, they show the modest trends up since the bottom of 2009. The more sobering truth is found from third party Zillow, which reflects a decrease in interest in manufactured homes. That Zillow data doesn’t fit the MHI narrative, does it?

During an affordable housing crisis, single family housing sales dwarf manufactured homes. Even townhouses – far more costly – outsell manufactured homes. To learn more, see the data-packed report linked below.

What some don’t know, or may not want to see, is that during the first years of the Trump Administration, the rate of minority home ownership rose over the rate from the eight year Obama-Biden era.

 

MinorityHomeOwnershipSurgesUnderTrumpAdministrationHUDSecretaryCarsonHUDdataFoxGraphicManufacturedHomeProNews
When people look at the economic data, facts like the above reflect well on the success of Trump Administration policies.

 

It is still too low, but during the first term of the Trump Administration, the rate of minority home ownership was moving in the right direction. Data from CNN Business and Fox Business  reflect an improvement for minorities, women, and all Americans.

While conventional building confidence is soaring, why is manufactured housing snoring? The reasons are many.

All on Capitol Hill were welcoming and interested with the discussion of manufactured housing related issues on our 12.3.2019 meetings. But Texas Congressman Al Green’s office was tremendous in their hospitality. Our son’s hand is on a package that included the Constitution of the United States and other goodies.
