August 2025 brought a mixed performance for manufactured housing. Production dipped 8.5% year-over-year, yet year-to-date figures remain positive, up 3.2%. Shipment trends varied: single-section homes were down 0.3% year-to-date, while multi-section shipments rose 6.0%. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of shipments reached 104,191—0.7% higher than 2024.

Regionally, only 3 of 9 divisions saw shipment growth compared to August 2024. New England led with a 6.2% increase, followed by the Pacific (3.8%) and East North Central (3.1%). FEMA reported no shipments in August, with FY2025 totals at 169 homes.

The industry now includes 151 plants and 39 manufacturers. August saw two new openings—Sweet-Haus Cabins (SC) and BG Manufacturing (AL)—and one closure: Luxy Homes (OH). Manufactured housing represented 10.0% of single-family home starts in August, highlighting its continued role in affordable housing.
