<Market data for factory-built homes.
This report give details of interviews with executives from 9 of the
top 10 factory-built housing manufacturers and 18 of the top 25. These
manufacturers represent 85% of the market. The interviews took place
in 2005.
The majority believe the market for factory-built housing will begin a
slow rebound in 2006. Growth rates of around five percent per year
were often cited. Three manufacturers expected moderate growth of 10%
per year. Manufacturers in the Western United States were more
optimistic about growth. The modular housing market offers the best
opportunity for growth and they were planning to develop aggressive
strategies to capitalise on the opportunity. Three companies are
pursuing the vacation and second home market.
The majority of executives said that there will be a movement towards
building larger upscale homes (1,800 to 2,400 square feet) in the next
five years to compete with the site built market.
To capitalise on this market many manufacturers will be expanding
their relationship with builders and developers. Although the
excitement in the industry is centred on upscale housing, the industry
core will be single and double-wide HUD-code homes for most regions.
Shipments of modular homes have been flat in 2005. This is a slow-down
in the recent trend of moderate annual growth in this market segment.
Modular shipments are expected to exceed 42,000 for 2005.
In 2005, 23 of the top 25 companies were producing modular homes. A
substantial number of manufacturers indicated that they will place
greater emphasis in the modular housing market in the next five years.
Some large companies have been acquiring smaller companies to expand
into new geographic regions or new market niches such as modular
homes. There have also been manufacturing plant closures or plants
left idle due to lack of demand.
The report also gives details of the top manufacturers with details of
the number of modular homes sold in 2004 and company financial
information.

According to Genesis homes, off-site built homes are in more demand
recently because of the high degree of sophisticated architecture and
design available to meet individual want and needs, delivery is very
fast and the home is more ruggedly constructed.

California county
In some ways, the high-end home sales are a reflection of what's going
on throughout Orange County. Nearly 6,700 homes sold here for $1
million or more in the past 11 months, compared with fewer than 500 in
1990.
But the high-end market is largely an economy onto itself, unrelated
to the vicissitudes of the larger local housing market. Since high-end
buyers come from all over the world, the Orange County job market, for
example, has no effect on prices for trophy homes.
And while the county's median home price tripled in the past 10 years,
the three top-priced homes were up four- to five-fold on average, due
in part to the scarcity of such waterfront properties, high-end
specialists said.
High-end specialists say there's no shortage of buyers for these homes
either. A couple of the homes that sold recently had multiple offers.

In the Bay Area, 1 in 8 houses sold for $1 million or more.
"In the nine-county region, 16,981 houses and condos -- or 13.5
percent of total sales -- went for at least $1 million, up from
11,399, or 8.5 percent, in 2004. Only 2.6 percent of homes fetched as
much in 1999."
"Nowhere was the rise in high-end homes more pronounced than in Solano
County, typically one of the least-expensive sections of the Bay Area.
In that county, which includes Vacaville, Vallejo and Fairfield,
million-dollar home sales soared 154 percent in 2005. By comparison,
sales rose 43.3 percent in San Francisco."
"In the state, 48,666 homes sold for $1 million or more last year, up
47 percent from 33,107 in 2004."

The annual demand for new homes in California continues to be in the
240,000 range, but the home building industry is able to provide only
80 percent of the total need. Fewer high-end homes will be built in
the coastal regions of the state, while construction will rise in more
affordable areas, such as the San Joaquin Valley.

2005 MODULAR HOUSING CONSUMPTION CONTINUES RECORD HIGH LEVEL
MODULAR MANUFACTURER COMPETITION INFORMATION BY STATE
To assist you in remaining competitive in today's challenging modular home
markets, we have completed our annual modular housing review for 2005 and
have information available on state-by-state modular housing activity broken
down to individual manufacturers. Key modular observations are as follows:
· 2005 national modular housing activity continues to remain at a
record high level of about 43,000 homes.
· Numerous states had significant 2005 modular housing growth ranging
from 10% to 50%.
· In most active modular housing states, competition among
manufacturers is intensive and market leadership positions are shifting
considerably among established manufacturers.
The attached "YOUR STATE" example indicates our graphic format for
presenting individual state modular information from 1999 through 2005 on
consumption trends, market share and consumption for major manufacturers,
and pertinent observations on modular market performance. Individual state
information also includes a detailed listing of 2004 and 2005 modular home
consumption and 2005 market share for all manufacturers shipping into a
given state.
We believe that the above referenced information will be of value to you as
a modular housing manufacturer by providing you with an increased
understanding of the current market dynamics in states that are important to
you.
