Buying a Manufactured Home Near Lake Havasu City, AZ

11/9/2026

If you're shopping for a manufactured home in Lake Havasu City, you have more choices than ever: new or used, single-section or multi-section, a home for your own lot or one for a park space. The harder question is often where to buy. The retailer you pick handles more than the sale. In many cases they order the home, haul it, set it and help with permits, so a good fit matters for years. Here's what Lake Havasu City and Mohave County buyers should check before signing with any dealer, and how Mohave Homes, Inc. in Golden Valley approaches each step.

Make sure the dealer is licensed in Arizona

In Arizona, manufactured home dealers are licensed through the Arizona Department of Housing's Office of Manufactured Housing. That license isn't just a formality. It's tied to real buyer protections.

According to the Department's complaints page, consumers should file written complaints with the retailer or manufacturer within one year of the sale date, and may file directly with the Department within one year. Some matters, such as escrow requirements and failed warranty repairs, can be filed for up to two years from the sale or installation date. Cosmetic complaints on a new home should be reported in writing to the licensees within 120 days of installation.

Arizona also has a consumer recovery fund. Under A.R.S. 41-4043, a consumer harmed by a licensed dealer's violation, a failure to perform a sales agreement, or a failure to make warranty repairs can apply for payment, generally within two years of the sale or installation date, whichever is later. Buying from a licensed dealer keeps those options open.

Mohave Homes lists its Dealer License #6814 on its website.

Ask who handles transport and setup

A manufactured home is only as good as its installation. Before you buy, ask each dealer:

• Who will transport the home to your lot or space?
• Who sets the home, and are they licensed and bonded for installation?
• Who pulls the permits with the county or city?
• What kind of tie-down system will be used?
• Who do you call if something needs attention after move-in?

Mohave Homes says it handles sales, service, transport and set-up in-house. Its site states the company is licensed and bonded for installations, uses a trained crew that sets homes to state and county standards, obtains the necessary permits, and installs engineered tie-down systems on new and existing homes. You can read more on the transport and setup page.

Look for a real selection, with prices you can see

It's much easier to plan a budget when you can compare real homes and real numbers. Mohave Homes posts price ranges on many homes in its online catalog, so you can narrow your list before you visit. A few examples listed right now:

Liberty 24423A: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 994 sq ft, listed at $109K to $113K. It's one of the most popular homes on the site. See the Liberty 24423A.

Sonoran 522AB: 1 bedroom, 1 bath and 399 sq ft, listed at $67K to $70K, a compact option for a smaller lot or a getaway near the lake.

Economy Plus 14401A: 1 bedroom, 1 bath and 533 sq ft, listed at $75K to $78K.

Every manufactured home is built to the federal HUD Code. HUD authorizes a certification label for each section of a compliant home, so ask to see it on any home you're considering. More on the federal standards from HUD's Office of Manufactured Housing Programs.

Ask which factory built each home, too. Mohave Homes carries homes from Cavco and Champion's Arizona plants; you can learn about them on the trusted brands page.

Check the track record

How long has the dealer been around, and who will you actually work with? Mohave Homes says it was founded as a family business in 1995, and it introduces its staff on the Our Team page. The site says it serves all of Arizona, and it sells both new and used manufactured homes.

A dealer with local experience should know the local permitting process and what it takes to deliver to lots around Lake Havasu City, Kingman, Bullhead City and Fort Mohave.

Know your lot before you shop

Whether your home is going on your own land in Lake Havasu City, on acreage elsewhere in Mohave County, or into a park space, have the details ready: the address or parcel, access for a delivery truck, and any park or HOA rules. That helps the dealer tell you which home sizes will fit and what the site will need.
