Manufactured Home Industry Survey – August 2015
We're conducting a survey of MH Professionals on the following topics. You can participate 'on or off
the record,' meaning we can cite your name (on the record), OR we can take your replies, and use them
but we won't publish your name (off the record).
If you don't know an answer to a question, or have no opinion, mark NA.
Where a typed reply is requested, there are no word limits, and illustrations (photos, graphics,
etc.) are welcomed if you wish to provide them to make your point. We plan to publish results.
1) From what you've seen and heard, how has the implementation of the new CFPB, HPML
Appraisal Rule gone?
2) Do you think there are some lost sales directly related to the new Appraisal Rule?
3) Does “Bad News” events reported by the media harm manufactured housings image, and
therefor new home sales? For example, do media accounts of law suits or protests about a
manufactured home community, stories about tornadoes/hurricanes/high winds and other
unflattering news accounts harm new MH sales? On a scale of 1 to 10; with 1 being the
lowest harm, and ten being the highest harm, how would you rate the impact of negative
news on MH? (Written commentary, beyond a 1 to 10 score is welcomed).
4) Does “Good News” about Manufactured Housing, such as a new net zero or Energy Star
design help new MH sales? On a scale of 1 to 10; with 1 being the lowest good, and ten
being the highest good, how would you rate the impact of negative news on MH? (Written
commentary, beyond a 1 to 10 score is welcomed).
5) On a scale of 1 to 10 - with 1 a being the worst, and 10 being the highest – how would you
rate the engagement of the typical manufactured home professional on industry related
political issues? (Written commentary, beyond a 1 to 10 score is welcomed).
