Oregon is a gorgeous state and more and more retiring seniors are eyeing the locale for possible retirement. The cost of living is comparatively low, the surrounding areas are gorgeous, and even big city life still has a bit of small town feel to it.

Not surprisingly, there are now quite a few seniors hoping to find mobile homes for sale in Oregon. Would you know where to look for them?

•There are plenty of mobile homes for sale in Oregon which are listed in the paper. Owners ready to move on will place ads for their private residences in the Sunday paper and then give interested consumers a tour. The downside of this approach is the private party that is selling the home. Even if you were to examine the entire mobile home from top to bottom, there is no guarantee that it will continue to work as advertised once the seller is gone.

•Other mobile homes for sale in Oregon are listed by manufacturers. These are oftentimes repossessed homes that have been fixed up. They are very cheap and oftentimes they are already located on a parcel of land. A change in ownership is no big deal. The downside is the fact that the previous owner – when it became clear that the bills could no longer be paid – might not have taken good care of the place.

•Finally, there are mobile homes for sale in Oregon though showrooms. These are new, may be modified to meet specific floor plan preferences, and also offer all of the latest amenities.
