Detroiter 50ft Mobile Home for sale for $1,500.
Listing last updated March 16 2008
This mobile home is 50 feet long by 11 feet wide. It is a 72(?) Detroiter made in Michigan so its a very warm (easy to heat) mobile home compared to most.
The interior is in need of work and it needs to be moved right away from its current location in down town Homer Alaska. It is nearly ready to be moved.
Please call 907-235-9321 from 10am to 10pm and ask for Tree and/or if the line is busy
I'm likely online as I can only get dial-up were I am.I am often away from the phone and don't have an answering machine so please keep trying - I will remove this as soon as it sells.
I'd act soon because this is definitely priced for a fast sale.
Cash only. Price is "firm". New owner needs to move it from its location asap.
Thanks.
The x's over the windows are nylon tape. This is to get it ready to be moved.

The metal missing under the door frame was removed so I could remove the wood beneath it due to dry rot. Some of the particle board on the underside should also be replaced. The people who put the skirting on it did not ventilate it so this is were the dry rot damage comes from. If move more than a short distance, where the walls join the floor it should be reinforced with 2 x 6's
Otherwise the roof has only one leek where the stove pipe comes through. I think its the stove pipe mount not the roof itself that leaks. Which, is a huge thing if you've ever had much experience living in trailers especially in humid Alaska to have a mobile home were there are no leeks is a big deal!
I stayed warm in this Mobile home for 4 winters with just a small wood stove.
Some vandals ( caught and arrested, thanks totally to the Homer Police Department ) broke into the windows one is covered with plywood.
This contributes very much to why the interior basically needs to be replaced unless you only want this as a storage building. There are holes in the walls, and spray paint graffiti and general what people do to things they don't own when they likely have never worked hard to earn something themselves to know what its like...... Which had this not have happened I'd clearly be able to ask and get a whole lot more than I am asking now...
But if you want to redo the interior you can then do this YOUR way.
Or use for storage!
What you do with it is up to you.
The people who own the land its on, have other plans for the property. I cant afford to move it right now and these folks have been really nice to me so I dont want to have them sort of 'stuck' with my Mobile home on their property any longer. So if I raise the money to move it I'm going to remove this listing because even with the damages done to it. I think its a nice trailer and want to keep it if I can.
Only not if the delay in moving it so I can keep it, means keeping it 'there', at the expense of those who own the land its on.... So this is to get it off of their land ( not out of pressure from them, but of RESPECT for them ) as soon as possible.
Either as soon as I can move it or as soon as I can sell it - which ever comes first.
