Build or Buy? Modular or stick-built?

[Ryan Solstice]

Hi everyone! Our family is moving to Stowe, Vermont from Massachusetts. We just got an offer on our house in MA and we plan to move in August. The issue we are having is an extreme lack of inventory (as I am sure everyone is dealing with) as we move to VT in the ski town of Stowe. My question is: Should we consider building? If so, should we consider a modular home and what are the pros / cons to this from an investment and resale perspective? The modular rep I spoke with said there is no language on any of the marketing / sale documents or deed that would note it to be a modular home vs. stick-built but I still wonder what people's thoughts are on modular homes. 

Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

Ryan Solstice I built a modular home and it is definitely worth it. I also wrote a BP blog post that you can read here, https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/9522/68289-i-love-modular-construction-and-so-should-you.
