Specialized Buy/Sell Websites that Offer Trailer Homes

One of the most popular places to start your search is on the internet.

There are several websites that specialize in buying and selling trailers to the general public.

Here are just a few…

You can browse inventory by your location, see images of the stock these dealers have on hand, and easily compare prices on a wide range of sizes and models for your single wide trailer needs.

Specialized Auction Websites that Trade Trailer Homes

Another online resource are auction style websites.

These websites are slightly different because you are not usually buying directly from a warehouse full of stock.

Rather you are buying from owners (or sometimes dealers) who are able to post images and information about their single wide trailers for sale.

The bids usually start low, but you do have to compete to be the high bidder.

The up side to this way of home buying is that you are not obligated to pay anything unless you win an auction and you only have to bid as high as you are willing to spend.

You are also able to get drastically discounted prices by winning an auction that can save you a lot of money in the long run.

Magazine and Online Classifieds

Another way you can locate trailers for sale in your area is to search for sale and classified ads.

This process can be done online or by using print media like newspapers or magazines.

If you look at classifieds online, especially by your location or zip code, you can often get access to many pictures of the actual item which can be helpful in your decision making process.

Looking at ads like these can help you compile a good database of sources to consider and can really help you locate exact sellers near you.

Finally, if you are just not sure where to begin you can always contact a local Realtor to help you locate the trailer you are looking for.
