Beyond the Home Price

What does it really cost to put a home on your property?

The advertised price of your home is only one part of the total project cost. Delivery, setup, utilities, site preparation, permits (if needed), and other land-specific work can all affect your final investment.

We believe you should understand those costs before you commit, not discover them halfway through the process. So here is every piece of it, and what each one starts at.

Every figure on this page is a starting point, not a quote. What you actually pay depends on your land and on the home you pick: how far the water has to run, whether the ground needs work, how big the home is, how far we are hauling it. Two people on the same road can land in different places. We would rather show you the shape of it honestly than hand you a number we cannot stand behind.

from $17,000 Where set up, pads, skirting and the rest start on a lot that already has city water and sewer. Add septic and water service if yours doesn't and it starts around $26,000. Sales tax on the home is on top of that. Your number depends on your property, and the only way to get it is for us to look at it.
What it costs to set a home up
What it isWhat we charge
Set up and moveHauling the home to your land, blocking and leveling it, and anchoring it down. A double-wide is a bigger job, two trips and two halves to join, so it runs more. We price yours once we know which home you want and where it is going. from $5,000single-wide
Dirt pad prepLeveling the spot and building up a pad that drains, so the home is not sitting in water after a hard rain. from $2,000
Septic systemA tank and field. Needs a perc test on your land first. Skip this entirely if city sewer runs to your property. from $7,000if you are not on city sewer
Water serviceGetting water to the home. This one moves the most: what it costs comes down to how far the water has to be run to reach the home. Give us a call and tell us what is already on the property. from $2,000estimate, depends on the distance
HVAC installationThe heating and air unit and the work to install it. from $5,000
Electrical serviceMeter, pole and the run to the home. The pole is included in that price. from $1,500
StepsYou need them at every door before anyone can move in. from $1,500
SkirtingCloses in the space under the home. Also what keeps your pipes from freezing in January. from $2,000
Sales tax4%of the price of the home

Every line above starts where it says and moves with your property. Land that needs heavy clearing, a long driveway, a lot of fill dirt, or a power run from a distance costs more, and we will tell you that before you sign anything rather than after. County permit fees are whatever your county charges.

Got a question about one of these?

Ask it. Most people want to know which lines apply to them and which ones don't, and that is a two-minute conversation, not a sales pitch. Tell us roughly where the land is and what is already on it and we can narrow most of this down on the phone.

Want the real number for your land?

Send us the address or just the general area, along with whatever you know about what is already out there, and we will work up a real figure instead of a starting point. If your property is going to be an expensive one, we will tell you that up front rather than after you have spent money on it.
