Home photographs, measurements, and detailed descriptions of the home and attached structures are gathered and forwarded to our in-house appraisal experts. Utilizing our proprietary database of more than five million manufactured home sales, one of our appraisers calculates the fair market value and produces a written appraisal report. This comprehensive 12-page report is then emailed directly to you, providing you with a detailed description of the subject home, options and accessories, community data, interior and exterior photos, comparable sales data, and a calculation of the fair market value-based determination on comparable sales. Our appraisal reports are welcomed by hundreds of lenders nationwide.

Investors are increasingly interested in “books” of homes or the cumulative homes value within a particular community. Meaningful valuations on these kind of collected assets can be difficult to obtain. But Datacomp is able to use its documentation from more than 5 million valuations nationwide, as well as its understanding of MH community performance in specific regions, to form a baseline for portfolio valuations of this class.

Chances are at least one of our inspectors has spent time in your community of interest. With a network of more than 700 field inspectors, and historical knowledge of how communities operate in specific regions, Datacomp can do the research, document findings and produce a report that assigns a 1- to 5-star rating on any community of interest in the U.S.

Datacomp works in communities across the country every day, and our inspectors keep meticulous notes from community owners and managers on profile changes to a particular property. There are many changes that may occur in a manufactured home community every year, and among those we track are rent and adjusted rent figures — comparable from year to year — as well as occupancy rates for more than 40,000 communities in better than 150 primary markets across the continental United States.
