I attended a Blu show house in Sonoma County in 2012. The workmanship could have been better so I hope the new owners can work on that.
The problem with these type of modular homes is the price . They are always overpriced and people generally won't pay the premium for a modular when they can buy a traditional stick built home , me included.
Price it more affordably and people will line up .
