Hi Maureen, Thanx a lot for the reply. I guess I didn't give enough info to begin with, sorry for that. I do know the year and who makes it, just not the actual model name. The home is a 1996 Champion. It was made in PA, and was previously owned by a couple in Hornell, NY. I am glad I went with a newer one, because after reading a lot of articles and posts here about old polybutylene plumbing and the host of other issues that you can have, I am at least newer than some of them. That's not to say that I haven't had my fair share of "fixes" to do though! Thanx again for the reply!Maureen wrote:Hi Ben,
With our homes, anything is possible! From the photos of your home, it's pretty hard to tell. I do have to sort of agree with Greg. It looks like a sale lot model.
If you can't find any info on the home anywhere, it's likely that it could be a pre hud. That means that it was built before 1977, for the most part. There is about a year either way as to whether it's considered a pre-hud or not. From the photos, it actually looks like an early 80's model.
Here's how I found out the very little info we have about our 'oldie, but goodie' home! I traced the old personal property taxes down at the county recorders office. The prior owner also gave us information he had on the house for insurance purposes. We had to have this info before converting our 'oldie' to real estate.
We still don't know the manufacturer of the home. Not a real big deal since they are most likely out of business, or have merged with another company. We know that the model is a Townehouse and it was built in '73. That has done us well as far as insurance and our mortgage goes.
As far as a good price as for the home, that really depends on your specific area. Older homes in my area aren't worth much, unless they have the land and have been converted to real estate. My home itself might sell for between $8,000 to $10,000 alone. With the land, shop, outbuildings, deck and all the other stuff, like landscaping, it's valued at just over 200k.
Check and see what homes are selling for in your area. You can sort of guess as to the year of the home. That's your best bet.
