The Market Facts is a publication of the Foremost Insurance Group. It presents the 2008 results of a study we do every three years of owners and residents of manufactured homes throughout the United States. If you're interested in learning more about the market trends of manufactured home owners, then put our research to work for you. You'll find out about demographics, trends and characteristics of owners and their homes, purchasing and financing, technology and more. View the Market Facts 2008 Report.

Knowing the market
In 1952 Foremost created the first policy designed specifically to cover mobile homes. We’ve been leading the industry ever since - and it’s because of initiatives such as The Market Facts. We know our market. We know who our customers are, what kind of homes they have, what’s important to them and how to reach them. With this publication, we’re sharing that information with you.

For instance, did you know:

• Sixty-four percent of owners of manufactured homes who responded to the survey work full-time or part-time, and 23 percent are retired.
• Eighty-five percent of residents surveyed have cell phone service.
• Sixty-seven percent of households use the internet for purchasing items.
• Nearly fifty percent have their homes on their own private property.

This is just a brief sampling of the kind of information you’ll find in this report. You can also find more information by taking the links below. We bet there’s information in here that contradicts some of what you thought you knew about manufactured homes!
