While owning land is beneficial, it is not a requirement to start the process with Zenith Homes. If you do not own land, we can assist you in finding a suitable site for your manufactured home. Derek Johnson is a licensed real estate agent and can help provide guidance on a land purchase. Our team can save you a lot of money, heartache and time by helping to determine whether or not a property makes sense to build on before you buy it. Additionally, if you prefer, we can help you place your home in a mobile home park or community. Our goal is to make homeownership accessible and attainable, regardless of your current land ownership status.
Starting the process of buying a manufactured home with Zenith Homes is simple! Begin by browsing our website to explore our various home models and floor plans.

During the consultation, we will discuss your needs, budget, and preferences to help you select the perfect home. You can also visit our model home center to tour our model homes and get a firsthand look at the quality and features we offer.
The process of purchasing a manufactured home from Zenith Homes involves several key steps:
Yes! Both the manufacturer, Fleetwood Homes, and Zenith Homes, offer a variety of customization options for our manufactured homes that you can choose from.On the outside, different exterior styles are available to create a home that suits your preferences (like different dormers, front doors, columns, siding options, and more). We also offer garages, shops, covered porches, patios, and landscaping options to match your lifestyle. During the design phase, you can select interior options such as flooring, countertops, cabinetry, and appliances. Modifications to the floor plan are possible too, subject to approval from our manufacturing partners at Fleetwood Homes. To keep our homes priced right, they can’t say yes to everything, but they are very flexible! Our team will work closely with you to ensure that your home meets your exact specifications and needs.
At Zenith Homes, we offer a wide range of manufactured homes to fit various budgets and preferences. When we opened our business, we knew right from the start that our community needs homes that make common sense financially, so we went out looking for a manufacturer that shared our approach. The short answer is that our homes start around $65,000. That price is for our smallest base model home (The Favor) , and the price actually includes standard delivery and setup within 50 miles of Shelton.
Realistically, the total price is going to be higher, depending on whether you have land or need to buy it, and what kind of improvements your property needs (well, septic, power, etc.). The price does not include sales tax since it is based on where we deliver the home (8.6% in most of Mason County). There are also additional fees like loan closing costs, appraisal fees, and engineering fees (when necessary).
We pride ourselves on offering exceptional value for your investment, ensuring you get a high-quality home at a price that suits your budget. For specific pricing, please check out our available homes, contact us, or visit our model home center.
Transparency is a top priority at Zenith Homes. We believe in clear and straightforward pricing with no hidden fees. During the consultation process, we will provide a detailed breakdown of all costs involved, including the home price, site preparation, delivery, installation, and any additional customizations you choose. Our goal is to ensure you have a complete understanding of your investment, so there are no surprises along the way. That being said, here is a short list of fees/costs that you should be prepared for:

Typically, the entire process takes about 6 months, although our team has experienced projects that go a little quicker and projects that take way longer.

We work closely with you every step of the way to ensure that your new home is ready for you on schedule.

While we strive to stick to the general timelines we outlined above, sometimes unforeseen delays can occur. If there are any delays, we will communicate with you, your contractors, and your lender promptly and transparently. Our team will provide regular updates and work diligently to minimize any impact on your move-in date. We are committed to delivering your home as quickly as possible without compromising on quality and safety.
Absolutely! We understand the excitement of watching your new home take shape and encourage you to stay involved. We do offer scheduled visits to the construction site that are conducted under the supervision of our team to ensure safety and also to provide information and answer questions about what you are seeing. We will coordinate with you to schedule these visits at key stages of construction. Your safety and the safety of our workers are our top priorities, so exercise caution any time you visit the site!
Our lending partners offer a variety of financing options to suit your needs. These options include conventional mortgages, FHA loans, VA loans, and chattel loans, which are specifically designed for manufactured homes placed on leased land (like a mobile home park) or on private property (for example, if you are putting a home on your property for your children). While we can provide information on these options, we recommend consulting directly with your loan officer or financial advisor to determine which loan program is best suited for your situation. Additionally, applying with a couple of our trusted lending partners can help ensure you get the best rate and terms possible.
Building and financing a new manufactured home can differ from buying a traditional home on the market.
Maybe! Our team has worked with a lot of customers that have a long relationship with their bank or credit union, so they reason that it is the best place to finance their manufactured home — and sometimes it is. Our team will work with you and your bank or credit union to determine if they offer a loan product that aligns with our disbursement and funding requirements. If not, we’ve developed excellent relationships with both national and local lenders that have many years of experiencing making loans for Washington buyers that want to build a manufactured home.
