Under what condition can a mobilehome be sold as new?

A mobilehome can be sold as new primarily under the condition that it has never been sold or registered. This criterion signifies that the unit is still considered new because it has not been transferred to another owner or in the consumer marketplace, maintaining its status as an unutilized product.

This reflection on its unregistered status helps define the property's legal standing and rights associated with it, ensuring that buyers are purchasing a genuinely new product as opposed to one that has been in prior ownership, even if used minimally.

Other aspects, such as whether the warranty is still applicable or the model year of manufacture, do not alone qualify a mobilehome for sale as new. These factors may influence the buyer's decisions but do not strictly determine the classification of the home. Similarly, while a mobilehome that has not been occupied may imply it is in pristine condition, it does not inherently affect its registration status, which is the primary condition for determining a "new" sale.
