seeker, I think manufactured homes are very nice and cute, but they just aren't safe. We have many tornadoes here, not to mention hurricanes. People who live in manufactured homes must evacuate, others do not have to. Most shelters don't take pets.

Are you looking at other homes? There are some good buys. The foreclosure rate is very high due to the economy and the fact that they were grossly over-valued.

I wish you success in finding what you want. It is very different here. I have been here 8 years and I still miss the change of seasons a lot.
