In this article, we will be breaking down some of the most popular types of residential homes. You will also learn their differences, especially their categories.
The Different Types of Homes
We buy houses to settle in nicely on our own or with our family. To help you select which house suits you, here’s a list of prefabricated and traditionally constructed homes.
Manufactured Homes
Manufactured homes are built in a factory using a set of plans. These are then transferred to their permanent location and assembled.
Manufactured homes are popular because they are quick and efficient to build. These are often more affordable than traditional stick-built homes.
Mobile Homes
Mobile homes are often overlooked. These housings are built on a chassis and transported on a trailer.
These are often mass-produced in factories before going to dealerships. These are currently more popular among people who want to downsize or live in a more affordable home.
Panelized Homes
Panelized homes are structures built using prefabricated panels. These panels are manufactured in a factory and then shipped to a building site for assembly.
Modular Homes
Modular homes are built in modules and then transported to their assembly location. These are less expensive than traditional stick-built homes and built in a shorter time.
Container Homes
Container homes are becoming popular recently. These use shipping containers and can adapt to any climate or location. They are also very affordable and can be built quickly. Container homes can be an excellent option for those who want to downsize or desire a sustainable home.
Stick Built Homes
Stick-built homes are the most common type of homes in the United States. These are built on site from the ground up by a contractor.
Stick-built homes can be customized according to the homeowner’s desires. These are also the most energy-efficient homes with the highest insulation and energy efficiency standards.
Green Homes
Green homes are energy efficient and environment-friendly, offering several benefits to their occupants. However, they can also be more expensive to build and maintain than traditional homes.
Starter Homes
Starter homes are usually small and simple, which makes them more affordable. This type of home is also a good option for those not ready to commit to a larger home. There are many different styles of starter homes, so it is sure to fit your needs.
McMansions
McMansions are large homes built in a cookie-cutter style. They have little character or individuality.
McMansions are located in suburban areas. These are considered status symbols among the upper middle class. While some people find it tacky and garish, others appreciate its spaciousness.
