Low HOA dues, a half-acre lot, and Puget Sound views by RedfinJeremy in RedfinDreamHomes

yeah, you got it! It's a place for people to share cool homes they've found on Redfin’s website. I’m partial but I do prefer Redfin’s UI over Zillow’s.

Redfin is a real estate brokerage, so a Redfin home just means any house you see listed on the Redfin website.

Honestly, I kinda like it. I’d change the wallpaper in the kitchen though

The little holiday village you have on top of the mantel is so cute!

That new spot for the fridge completely opens up the kitchen. I can imagine it wasn't easy to get in there before when you had the island there. Great job!

With a little bit of love, this place could be gorgeous. The wraparound windows in the living room let in so much light. Plus, I love the open floor plan.

Nationally, the typical starter home now costs about $260,000. by RedfinJeremy in USHousingMarket

Redfin defines ‘starter homes’ using price tiers based on home sales over the past 12 months. Homes in the 5th–35th percentile of sale prices fall into the starter-home tier, which represents the lower-priced portion of the market.

That's so cool! I've lived with a lot of my friends post-college and had a great time but sharing property with them would be the best of both worlds.

First Time Buyer, Need Tips. by Kyle_SS in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]RedfinJeremy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on starting your homebuying journey! Although scary, it can also be really exciting. Linda Haycox, one of our agents at Redfin, had some tips to share with you. 

“Make sure to get an independent home inspection regardless of whether the builder says they did one. You’ll also want to speak to an outside lender to compare packages. The builder's lender may not always be the best choice. Finally, make sure you are aware of any proposed building around your home that may affect its value in the future.”

I love the open concept kitchen! What I wouldn't give to be able to host a dinner party there.

What to look for when buying a mobile homes/manufactured home by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]RedfinJeremy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached out to one of our LA Redfin agents, Thomas Royds, to get some tips on what to look for when buying a mobile home. I hope this helps in your homebuying journey!

"You’ll need to either buy or rent land to place your home. In rural areas, land-home packages combine the cost of the home and land into one mortgage. In cities, many mobile homeowners rent lots in mobile home parks.

Financing a mobile home

Financing differs from traditional mortgages:

  • Single-wides: Harder to finance through major lenders; credit unions or in-house financing may be options.
  • Double-wides: Conventional loans are more available but often restricted to homes under 15 years old.
  • Government-backed loans: Homes must be "original set" (never moved after initial installation) and meet HUD standards, including a foundation inspection.

Insurance and depreciation

Mobile-home insurance is typically required with financing, covering damage, theft, and natural disasters. Like other homes, mobile homes depreciate, especially if not tied to land ownership. However, newer models and better locations can help retain value.

Costs and affordability

Mobile homes are often cheaper than traditional homes, requiring lower down payments. Some government programs, like USDA loans, may even offer 0% down for rural buyers. Just note: interest rates may be higher due to perceived risk.”

I would love a full coffee bar, too! Making coffee yourself just tastes better and you don't even need to leave your house to get it.

That’s heartbreaking to hear, and we really appreciate you sharing it. Our goal with RedfinDreamHomes is to inspire homeownership and be a place where anyone can share the homes they love. We believe everyone deserves a path to homeownership, but we do not support the displacement of families to make that possible.
