Buying process · factory-built

Five stops between your first call and your front porch.

Every home we sell is factory-built — ordered new from Cavco or Champion, not pulled off a lot. That means the path looks a little different than a typical dealer. Here's exactly what happens, including where your deposit fits and how that connects to the factory order.

Good to know

A few things buyers ask about early.

Do I need land already?

It helps, but it's not required to start. We can talk through site requirements before you've locked in a lot, so you know what to look for.

Why do I put a deposit down before I see the home built?

Since we order direct from the factory instead of stocking a lot, your deposit is what puts your specific home into production — the same way ordering a custom-built item works anywhere else.

How long does financing take?

Getting pre-qualified with 21st Mortgage is quick, but full approval timelines depend on your situation. Applying early keeps it from holding up your move-in date.

What if I need to cancel after ordering?

Your deposit is what puts your home into production, so it's non-refundable once the factory order is placed. The factory doesn't refund us either at that point, so this protects both sides once your home is being built.

Why isn't there a fixed delivery date?

Your delivery date depends on factory production finishing, your site being ready, and your financing closing — not a date on a calendar. We won't schedule delivery until all three are lined up, so you're not stuck with a date your loan hasn't caught up to yet.
