CBRE Investment Management sees ROAD Act boosting manufactured housing demand faster than lot supply

By Public Technologies
  • The ROAD Act is expected to boost U.S. manufactured housing demand faster than available lots can expand.
  • The law, enacted in July 2026 and effective January 2027, should lower production costs and improve financing access.
  • Financing benefits primarily favor households owning both home and land; lot availability remains largely subject to state and local decisions.
  • Multi-section manufactured homes cost less than 75% of comparable site-built homes; single-section units cost roughly 35%.
  • Institutional capital can help meet rising demand by expanding, densifying and improving manufactured housing communities.
