Manufactured Home Average Selling Prices - May 2026
Multi-section Homes
The average sales price for multi-section homes in the South Census Region was $167,300 in May 2026, up 2.2% from April. The May 2026 value was up 9.2% from May of 2025 nominally and up 4.8% after adjusting for inflation.*
May’s $167,300 breaks above the $161,000 to $164,000 band that had held since December and is the highest nominal average since the September 2025 peak of $169,400. In inflation-adjusted terms, the real average price for homes sold in May was well below May 2022 and below May 2023, but above the same month in 2024 and 2025, and the highest real reading since November of 2025.

The October CPI-U value was not published due to a government appropriations lapse and has been linearly interpolated from the September and November values.
Single-section Homes
The average sales price for single-section homes in the South Census Region was $81,400 in May 2026, up 2.8% from April. The May 2026 value was down 8.8% from May of 2025 nominally and down 12.6% after adjusting for inflation,* recovering only a sliver of April’s drop from March’s near-record $93,300.
Single-section averages are the most volatile series in the survey, and March’s spike followed by April’s drop reads more like sampling noise than a change in trend. Even so, April and May are the two lowest nominal averages since August 2025, and inflation adjustment puts May near the bottom of the four-year real range.
