We have a nice 1994 fleetwood (pretty sure that's what its called) mobile home. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It's in a park so no land. We are just out growing it. We have 3 children and very little space. There are minor things that need done and we will do these things before we sell. We got a really good deal on it because the other owners just wanted to sell it fast. So we are hoping to make enough to pay it off and have a down payment for a bigger home. We have only lived here a little over a year. thanks for the help.
we live in the country. Lancaster county pennsylvania
it is a very nice park. We HAVE to keep up the yard and things like that. We got a loan just fine with our bank and didn't even need a down payment.

I have a 1997 Liberty 14x52 mobile home in Missoula, Montana. The area is growing faster than imagineable and is a great university town. Payments are low and so is lot rent, but being a divorced single parent is difficult and has brought hardships which I'm recovering from.
I know about eBay, but what are some other creative options? I don't want the responsibility of renting the house. I want to cut my ties with it and move on.
What is the best option in trying to sell a mobile home when you don't earn a lot and would like to move to another state quickly?
Professional real estate agent's suggestions are very welcome and highly recommended at answering this question.

I'm a first time homebuyer. I figure that when I get the house paid off the value of the dollar will be much different than it is today. How can I wrap my head around this?
A generic example: Purchase $100K (I wish!) home today. For the sake of discussion, lets say I sell it the minute the loan is paid off. So, I'm spending 2009 dollars and "cashing in" on 2029-2039 dollars (depending on how fast I can pay), right?
Here is where I get stuck. If I sell the home for, lets say, 200K in 2039, the "net" profit would be 100K. But taking into account the inflation, I would guess that 100K in 2009 dollars would be worth close to 200K in 2039 dollars. So no profit at all, maybe even a loss. Does that make sense? Feel free to ask me to clarify if I am confusing or confused.
I know we can't predict the future, but I would like to know a bit about the theories in practice.
So, Theoretically, if inflation continues at its current pace, how much will a 100K house need to be worth in 2039 to realize any profit?
I also don't see how housing values can climb forever, but that's for another question.
Thanks.
