It is a nice manufactured home, but that’s a lot of money. The current price of mobile/manufactured homes in California is unreal. My son lives in Santa Cruz. Manufactured homes in Santa Cruz are now going for up to $400,000.00 and beyond, because of the outrageous high cost of housing in the area. He loves Santa Cruz, but is considering a move out of California, due to housing prices.

Ha and I thought SoCal was unreal. Maybe you're son should move south rather than East.

Well yes it does. It actually did not look bad from outside either. Not back work, right?

That was kinda my point about the real-estate client. This is what they want.

It is very nice photography work. Excellent pictures make a big difference in a real estate listing. There are a lot of listings with poor quality pictures.

My son moved to Oregon. Portland offers great advantages

Thanks to those Californians, prices are skyrocketing in Portland as well. Not to mention how bad the traffic is now.

Many people living in SoCal cannot afford to retire in SoCal. That is the problem inflicted on other good areas. Because when SoCal immigrants land in your neighborhood they have no idea of what local prices are about. (You would think they could figure this out?). But rest assured Portland is not someplace I would move to so that is one less SoCal asshole you don't have to worry about. LOL.

But back to the topic. I think it good thread. Definitely a specialty but a good commercial photographer is flexible, correct ?

Mine is considering Colorado right now. Homes in Oregon, Washington State, and Colorado are getting a bit pricey, but still a lot less than most of California. We do hope he stays in the West, so it just is a short plane ride to visit.

The interior shot give a sense of space that is belied by the exterior view from the end of the structure.

Its a misleading price. Iam a broker and an architect and have owned 2 mfg. homes in my early years of trying to find affordable housing in over rated Calif. That listing price does not included land rent, which mobile home parks make a killing at charging. If you don't pay it, they can make you remove the trailer (expensive), or lien it to foreclose.

The agent either didn't mention it or I missed seeing it after I checked the MLS, but space rent is probably another $500 to $1000 or so a month extra, maybe more in that location. Also, mfg. homes are built like junk. Paper thin walls, cheap plumbing, Windows, fixtures, etc. That trailer looks decent inside due to extensive cosmetic upgrades. But It was built in 1967, which was a period when really bad trailers were produced. Probably didn't have insulation like most homes back then. Law didn't require it until late 1970's under Title 24. Owner may have had insulation blown in the walls and ceilings later on.
