Just-released statistics indicate that HUD Code manufacturers produced 4,870 homes in November 2013, an increase of 11.5% over the 4,365 homes produced during November 2012. Cumulative 2013 industry production now totals 56,243 homes, a 9.4% increase over the 51,401 homes produced through November 2012.
