Good answer below. Modular homes are hard to discern from a normal stick built home if they are done right. A Manufactured home typically has that low pitch (3:12 or 4:12) as a giveaway. There are some great manufactured homes and they may in some cases be a better built home. The perceived market difference is still there however with manufactured not being able to have the resale value that stick frame does. Between the two I would go with a modular.

Hope that helps you!

A manufactured home is assembled in a plant, and set/delivered to the site on wheels. (mobile/mfg/ home) The wheels can then be romoved or left in place. These homes can be moved at any future time.
A modular home is assembled on site, with the parts pre-assembled at the plant, and trucked to the site and installed on a foundation (usually concrete). They were never ment to be mobile, are stick built and permanently attached to a foundation.
