This study examined the owner-reported market value of owned manufactured homes on owned land at the time of the survey and compared those data to self-reported market values for equivalent site-built homes. The data came from the 2009 American Housing Survey, and the sample included owned manufactured homes and site-built homes situated on owned properties that otherwise had equivalent characteristics. We considered homes located in rural areas (non-Metropolitan Statistical Areas) because rural areas comprise a majority of the manufactured home market. The hedonic price analysis was enhanced by the propensity score technique to compare property values of each type of home while accounting for the differences in house characteristics between the two structural types. The findings confirmed the owner-reported market value of manufactured homes were about a quarter of the value of otherwise comparable site-built homes located in rural areas, and the measured difference in owner-reported market values was slightly more when the propensity score technique was not utilized.
