Imperial Mobile Terrace Sub is a manufactured-home community where price is driven almost entirely by the individual unit rather than the land underneath it. With a median year built of 1968 and living space landing around 1,083 square feet, condition and age of the structure do more to set value here than location or finish level. The median price of $98,500 and median price per square foot of $127.83 reflect a market priced for the home itself, not for square footage premiums or upgrades.
A median of 148 days on market is long by most standards, and that tells you this is not a community where listings move fast or get bid up. Sellers should expect a patient process and price realistically from the start. Buyers get room to take their time, negotiate, and be selective, since there is little competitive urgency built into this market right now.

The Imperial Mobile Terrace buying strategy.
If we were buying in Imperial Mobile Terrace today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Imperial Mobile Terrace.
Age, Size, and What They Mean for Price
The defining fact about this community is its age range: homes here span from 1925 to 2023, but the median year built of 1968 means most of the stock is decades old. Combined with a median living area of just 1,083 square feet, this is a market of modest-footprint homes where the year of construction and the condition of the unit matter more than typical comparable-sales logic. Two homes on the same street can carry very different values depending entirely on how each has been maintained or updated.
A homestead share of 59.2% indicates a solid majority of homes here are owner-occupied under Florida's homestead exemption, with a meaningful share not carrying that exemption. No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, which means buyers should treat this as a straightforward housing market rather than one built around shared recreational features. At a median 148 days on market, current listings are not moving quickly, which gives buyers leverage on price and terms if they are willing to do their own due diligence on individual unit condition.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Imperial Mobile Terrace. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect.

Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
Manufactured home transactions carry their own paperwork, financing, and inspection considerations that differ from standard site-built sales, and with a housing stock ranging from 1925 to 2023 vintage in this community, knowing what to check on an individual unit matters. We track how long listings actually sit here, at a current median of 148 days, so we can help sellers price to move and help buyers know when they have real negotiating room.
