Oregon's $99 Flat Fee MLS Listing Service for Manufactured & Mobile Homes

Albany Oregon Mobile Home Selling Guide & Flat-Fee MLS Services | Linn County


Albany's Dealer Corridor: What Makes Selling Here Different

Albany is the Linn County seat, about 10 miles east of Corvallis on I-5, between Salem and Eugene. Around 1,300 of its homes are manufactured homes — about 5.8% of the city's housing — and most of them sit in leased-land parks. You own the home. You rent the ground under it.

Albany is also the place Oregon's manufactured-home dealers cluster. Clayton Homes of Albany, Golden West Mobile Homes, and Future Homes of Albany all sell from here. That matters when you price your home, because dealer lots mostly sell new homes for placement. A brand-new home with a factory warranty is not the same product as your resale, and buyers know it. This guide is about resales: your home, your price, your buyer.

When you are ready to sell, you have three broad paths: sell it yourself, hire a traditional agent, or use a flat-fee listing service. A GoOnMLS listing starts at $99 and puts your home on MyStateMLS, the nationwide MLS, which feeds 135+ listing sites including Google. See the pricing plans, browse active Oregon listings, or run the numbers on the Oregon financing calculator. Questions? Contact us.

Every number in this guide comes from a named source, checked October 16, 2026. Where we could not find a number, we say so plainly. We do not fill gaps with guesses.


Where Albany's Park Homes Sit

Seven parks show up in Albany's directories and listings. One of them dominates the resale market so completely that it shapes every other number on this page: Columbus Greens, a 268-space all-ages community on Columbus Street SE, run by IPG Living. Eleven of the seventeen in-park resale listings we found in October 2026 were in Columbus Greens. If you own there, your competition is mostly your own neighbors. If you own elsewhere, your buyers will still compare your home against Columbus Greens prices, because that is where most of the listings are.

Open the Financing Calculator

  • Columbus Greens — 5050 Columbus St SE, Albany 97322 — all-ages community ("a 268 space family community"). 268 spaces — by far Albany's largest park. Owned by Investment Property Group (IPG Living); phone (541) 928-5163. Amenities: playground, basketball court, BBQ and picnic areas; pet-friendly. About 15 minutes to Corvallis, 30 to Eugene, an hour to Portland. No published lot rent found.
  • Shorewood Estates MHC — 1905 Waverly Dr SE, Albany 97322 — 55+ (per current resale listings). Pond on site. Space count not published. No published rent found.
  • Periwinkle Mobile Park — 1010 SE Geary St, Albany — 55+ (per current resale listings). Space count not published. No published rent found.
  • Sequoia Estates Mobile Home Park — 950 Airport Rd SE, Albany — age restriction not confirmed. Listed on the wgppm.com manager directory. No published rent found.
  • Oak View Terrace — 777 College Park Dr SW, Albany — age restriction not confirmed; has its own website. No published rent found.
  • Village Estates Mobile Home Park — 3246 Salem Ave SE, Albany — age restriction not confirmed. No published rent found.
  • Albany RV and Trailer Park — 1197 Century Dr NE, Albany — mixed mobile-home/RV park. No rent data found.

What we don't know: No Albany park we checked publishes its lot rent, and only Columbus Greens publishes a space count. If your park isn't listed here — or if something above looks wrong — the surest source is the park office or a current resident's rent notice. Space counts matter: Oregon's rent-increase cap works differently for parks above and below 30 spaces (see the rent-law section).

Albany's dealer corridor (new homes, not resales)

Albany is Oregon's manufactured-home dealer corridor. Three dealerships have locations here:

  • Clayton Homes of Albany — 1437 Century Dr NE, Albany 97322 — (541) 967-8555. New single-, double-, and triple-wide homes.
  • Golden West Mobile Homes — 2445 Pacific Blvd SW, Albany — (541) 926-8631.
  • Future Homes of Albany — 33964 Oakville Rd SW, Albany — (541) 928-1555. Cavco, Skyline (McMinnville factory), and Kit Custom homes.

These dealers sell new homes (mostly for private land or placement). They are not the same market as private resales of used park homes, and their inventory should not be treated as price comps for your resale. That said, a dealer may be a buyer channel if your buyer needs a new home in your park's space — talk to your park office first.

Sources: dealer websites (2026-10-16); Homes.com listings (Oct 2026); columbusgreensipgliving.com (2026-10-16); apartments.com Shorewood profile; wgppm.com; oakviewterracemhp.com.


Two cautions before you use any of this. First, space counts are published for only one Albany park — Columbus Greens, at 268 spaces. Every other park's size is unpublished, which matters for the rent-cap rules explained below. Second, age restrictions for Sequoia Estates, Oak View Terrace, and Village Estates are unconfirmed; the 55+ labels for Shorewood and Periwinkle come from resale listings, not from the parks themselves. Call the park office to confirm before you advertise an age restriction to a buyer.


What Albany Resales Are Asking

Read this carefully: every price below is an asking price — what a seller asked, not what a buyer paid. No market-wide median exists for used park homes in Albany, and we found no sold-price data. Asking prices run high here, and the market pushes back: 13 of the 17 in-park listings we found had already cut their price by $5,000 to $30,000.

Smaller homes: $22,500 to $62,000

AskingHomePark
$22,5002-bed/1-bath, 576 sq ft ($8K drop); park rent incl. water/sewer/garbage55+ park (1010 Geary St SE)

$62,0002-bed/1-bath, 784 sq ft ($13K drop); LVP floors, remodeled bathColumbus Greens

The bottom of the market is a 2-bed home at $22,500 — 576 square feet in a 55+ park on Geary Street, already down $8,000. The top of this smaller group reaches $62,000 for a 2-bed with luxury vinyl plank floors and a remodeled bath, down $13,000 from its first ask. Small homes move on price, not square footage.

Larger homes: $75,000 to $140,000

$140,0004-bed/2-bath, 1,404 sq ft; all-ages park, space rent under $700/mo300 Western St SE (unnamed all-ages park)

The larger group opens at $75,000 for a 3-bed with a mini-split and vinyl windows, and tops out at $140,000 for a 4-bed, 1,404-square-foot home on Western Street SE in an all-ages park — the same listing that reports space rent under $700 a month. Note what is not in these tables: dealer new-home inventory, and manufactured homes sold with their land (a $319,900 home on Hood Street SE and a $425,000 home on 48th Avenue SE). Those are different markets. Do not price your park resale against them.

The pattern to take seriously: Columbus Greens supplies most of the listings, most listings had to cut, and the cuts are large. Price against today's asking prices in your own park first, then against Columbus Greens — not against what a neighbor asked a year ago.


Lot Rent in Albany: What We Could and Could Not Verify

Here is the honest version: no park-published lot rents were found for any Albany park, including Columbus Greens. That is unusual, and it changes how you should sell. Your buyer cannot look your park's rent up online. They will ask you, and they will ask the park office. Have the real number ready before you list, because the rent is half the buyer's monthly math.

What listings themselves report — not park-published, so treat it as reported, not confirmed:

  • An all-ages park at 300 Western Street SE: space rent described as "under $700/month." That is a rare low figure for the valley, and it helps explain the $140,000 ask there.
  • A 55+ park at 1010 Geary Street SE: "low park rent with water, sewer, garbage included" — no dollar amount stated.
  • Shorewood Estates: the park rent "covers cable & sewer" — again, no amount stated.

Two transaction facts still apply. Oregon has no statewide real-estate transfer tax. The state fee for the ownership-document transfer is $55; the Linn County tax-certification fee was not looked up, so confirm it before quoting a total. And rent can rise only once in any 12-month period, with 90 days' written notice (ORS 90.600) — the details are in the law section below.

Median age / 65+ share37.7; 16.8% are 65+Point2Homes, Census-based

Put the table together and the story is plain. A renter household in Albany earns a median of $46,246 a year, and median monthly housing costs across all households run $1,447 — that is 35.6% of renter income going to housing, past HUD's 30% line for cost burden. The local housing wage for a two-bedroom at fair market rent ($1,622) is $26.21 an hour, while Oregon's minimum wage is $15.55 and the statewide average renter earns $23.20 an hour.

For a seller, that means your buyer pool is real but price-sensitive. A park home in the $22,500–$140,000 asking range is the cheapest ownership path in a city where the median property value is $389,200 and the average apartment rented for $1,586 a month in July 2026. But the buyer still has to carry the home payment plus the lot rent, and Albany's lot rents are unpublished — so a buyer who cannot verify the rent may discount your home for the uncertainty. Getting the rent in writing from your park office is one of the highest-value things you can do before listing.


Oregon Rent Law, in Albany Terms

This section summarizes Oregon statutes as reported by our research. It is not legal advice. Laws change — check current statute text or talk to a lawyer before acting.

Albany has no local rent history — here is the regional picture

No Albany-specific rent series exists. The closest record is a Salem-area park, reported in February 2025 legislative testimony, with annual increases of 8.9% in 2022, 10.3% in 2023, 8.7% in 2024, and 9% scheduled for 2025 — taking rent from $865 to $951 a month. Statewide surveys point the same direction: park owners reported average increases of 5.39% a year from 2019 to 2024, while a tenant survey found roughly 7% a year. Treat all of this as regional context, not Albany figures.

The caps that apply now (HB 3054, 2025)

For increases taking effect in 2026 and 2027, Oregon splits parks into two tracks:

  • More than 30 spaces: 6% maximum annual increase. Columbus Greens, at 268 spaces, is on this track.
  • 30 or fewer spaces: 7% plus CPI, capped at 10%. That works out to 9.5% for 2026 and 10% for 2027; the CPI piece is about 3.12%. The Department of Administrative Services publishes the number each year by September 30.

For Albany's other parks, the track depends on a space count nobody has published — one more reason to confirm your park's size. Two exemptions sit outside the cap: a first certificate of occupancy issued less than 15 years before the notice, and regulated or certified affordable housing where rent is income-based (ORS 90.600(3)(a)–(b)). There is also a one-time infrastructure exception for parks over 30 spaces: up to 12%, at most once every five years, only with a documented project, cost estimate, and timeline given to tenants in writing at least 30 days before the vote, a tenant meeting at least 14 days before the vote, approval by 51% of occupied spaces on signed, space-identified ballots, and a full refund (minus the normal cap) if the project is not substantially complete within 12 months of the estimated completion date (ORS 90.600(3)(c)).

Notice, committees, and the right to sell

A rent increase needs 90 days' written notice, at most once in any 12 months, stating the increase amount, the new rent, the facts behind any exemption claim, and the effective date. A landlord who breaks this owes three months' rent plus actual damages (ORS 90.600(4)). Tenants may form a committee of up to seven members; on written request the landlord must meet with it once or twice a year and answer in good faith in writing within 60 days (ORS 90.600(8)).

When you sell, the park may not deny your right to sell on rented space or force removal just because of the sale (ORS 90.680(2)). If your rental agreement requires it, give the park written notice up to 10 days before the sale (ORS 90.680(8)(a)). Your buyer files a complete written application; the park must accept or reject within seven days — ten if you skipped the 10-day notice — using screening substantially similar to what it applies to buyers of its own homes, with written reasons for rejection except where a consumer report is involved (ORS 90.680(10)). The park may not reject or force removal because of the home's age, size, style, materials, or pre-HUD-code construction (ORS 90.680(12)). On request it must hand the buyer its policy statement, rental agreement, park rules, outstanding repair or condition notices, disrepair and violation lists, and a statement that repairs may be required (ORS 90.680(9)). No commissions without a written consignment contract of at most 180 days with specific required terms (ORS 90.680(4)), and the park may not require consignment as a condition of tenancy (ORS 90.680(3)). Research reports that HB 3054 also added limits on conditioning a sale on cosmetic or aesthetic changes or on interior inspections — cross-check the enrolled bill before quoting that as settled law.

If a park closes (ORS 90.645)

Closure or conversion requires 365 days' written notice, tiered relocation payments, no rent increase after the notice, and no move-out penalties or unaccrued-rent charges for tenants who leave during the notice period. The 2026 CPI-adjusted payment figures published by OHCS are $8,427.49 for a single-wide, $11,236.65 for a double-wide, and $14,045.81 for a triple-wide or larger.


Selling, Step by Step, in Linn County

A park-home sale is a personal-property sale, not a house sale. There is no deed. Here is the sequence.

1. The ownership document, not a deed

Oregon no longer issues vehicle-style titles for manufactured structures, though old pre-May-2005 DOT titles still count as proof of ownership. Ownership is shown through an ownership document from the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS), Building Codes Division. For a used home, the transfer application goes through the county assessor — in Albany, the Linn County Assessor (manufacturedhomes@co.linn.or.us; linncountyor.gov/assessor) — and DCBS keeps the MHODS ownership database. The state fee is $55.

2. Report the sale within 30 days

Under ORS 446.641, within 30 days after closing the seller must give the county assessor a DCBS-approved notice of sale: seller and buyer identities, the ownership document, a copy of the bill of sale, security-interest acknowledgments, and proof that all property taxes and special assessments are paid (county tax certification). The assessor forwards it to DCBS. If the seller does not file, the buyer may — but the seller still faces a civil penalty.

3. Your buyer needs park approval

This is the step that surprises sellers. Under ORS 90.680: give the park written notice up to 10 days before the sale if your agreement requires it; your buyer submits a complete written application before closing and may not move in until accepted; the park decides within seven days (ten if you skipped the notice); screening must match what the park applies to its own-home buyers; rejection must be reasonable and in writing; and age, size, style, materials, or pre-HUD-code construction cannot be grounds. Any back rent, fees, deposits, or charges you owe must be paid before the buyer is accepted — plan for that at closing. Talk to your park office early and ask for the buyer-application packet and the statement of policy before you list.

4. Disclosures

Oregon's statutory seller-disclosure form (ORS 105.464) applies to a manufactured dwelling only when the seller also owns the land (ORS 105.465). A park-home sale — home owned, land leased — sits outside that form. That is not permission to stay silent: general fraud and misrepresentation law still applies, pre-1978 homes need the federal lead-paint disclosure, and the park must give your buyer its policy, agreement, rules, and repair lists under ORS 90.680(9).

5. The dealer-license trap

Acting as an agent to sell someone else's manufactured structure without a manufactured-structure dealer license is a Class A misdemeanor in Oregon (ORS 446.671). The private-owner exception (ORS 446.676) covers only owners selling their own home for personal, family, or household use. A regular real-estate license alone does not cover it — the licensee exception applies only to deed-recorded real property, not park homes (ORS 446.676). The industry association states it plainly: "If a manufactured structure is sold separate from the sale of the land, this is considered a personal property transaction and requires an MSD [manufactured structure dealer] license." (MHCO, "Dealer's License — What You Need to Know.") Make sure whoever lists your park home is properly licensed for exactly this kind of sale. GoOnMLS works under the dealer licensing this kind of sale requires, and the details on this page will be updated when final approval lands. Ask any agent or service the same question — and get the answer in writing.


What GoOnMLS Charges in Albany

GoOnMLS lists mobile and manufactured homes in Oregon parks and on leased land only — never land sales. You keep control of the sale; we handle the listing and whichever paperwork tier you choose. Tiers build on each other: each one includes everything below it.

  • $99 — MLS listing. Your home on the MLS with up to 20 photos. Shoot your own video, post it wherever you like, and we will link it to your listing. Distribution runs through MyStateMLS, which feeds major listing sites. We cannot guarantee your listing appears on any specific site — that depends on listing type and eligibility, and we will tell you plainly what applies to yours.
  • $1,999 — MLS listing plus transaction coordination. Best Deal. Everything above, plus help with the purchase agreement, DocuSign, and escrow coordination.
  • $6,999 — Full service, limited to Portland metro area. That means full service is not offered in Albany. In Albany the top tier is $1,999 transaction coordination. For reference, the $6,999 tier elsewhere adds signs, flyers, lockbox, buyer qualifying, and showings — you only sign — and the $6,999 fee is due at closing, zero upfront.

Three honest limits apply to every tier. We cannot guarantee your home will sell, how fast, or at what price. We cannot guarantee placement on any specific website. And commission comparisons on this page are for illustration only — actual fees are negotiable and vary.


Flat Fee or Traditional Agent in Albany?

Neither route is right for everyone. A flat-fee MLS listing costs a fixed fee — no percentage of the sale price — puts your home on MyStateMLS syndicated to 135+ listing sites including Google (subject to listing type and eligibility), and leaves inquiries, showings, and negotiations to you unless you buy a higher tier. It fits sellers who are comfortable with a phone and a little paperwork, or whose home is priced to move.

A traditional full-service agent handles photos, showings, negotiations, and paperwork, and charges a percentage of the sale price — negotiable, and it varies. For illustration only: a 2.5–3% listing commission on a $150,000 Albany home would be $3,750–$4,500. Your actual fee may be higher or lower.

Whichever route you take, the license question follows you: whoever sells your park home needs the right license for manufactured structures sold without land. Ask, and get the answer in writing.


Before You List: Albany Checklist

  • Find the ownership document. Locate your DCBS ownership document (or old pre-2005 title). Lost? Contact DCBS Building Codes Division about a replacement before you list.
  • Clear the taxes. Every property tax and special assessment on the home must be paid — you will need Linn County tax certification at closing.
  • Get the rent in writing. Ask your park office for the buyer-application packet, the statement of policy, the rental agreement, and the park rules — and the current space rent, since no Albany park publishes one. Get it in writing.
  • Price against resales, not dealer stock. Look at asking prices for similar homes in your park and in Columbus Greens. Remember that 13 of 17 listings cut $5,000–$30,000, and that asking is not selling.
  • Ready the home. Clean thoroughly. Fix what is broken. On older homes, small repairs — skirting, steps, paint — pay back more than big remodels.
  • Photograph in daylight. Every room, the exterior, and the park. List on the MLS through GoOnMLS (from $99) or your chosen service.
  • Show it well. Be available. Keep it clean and lit for every showing.
  • Put offers in writing. Use a written purchase agreement. Decide your lowest acceptable price in advance.
  • Buyer applies to the park. The park has seven days to decide (ten if you skipped the 10-day seller notice). Do not count the sale as done until the park approves.
  • Close and report. Sign the bill of sale. Within 30 days after closing, file the DCBS-approved notice of sale with the Linn County Assessor, with proof taxes are paid.

Albany Questions, Answered

How much does it cost to sell my mobile home in an Albany park with GoOnMLS?

A basic MLS listing is $99, with up to 20 photos — shoot your own video, post it wherever you like, and we will link it. $1,999 adds transaction coordination: purchase-agreement help, DocuSign, and escrow. Full service at $6,999 is limited to Portland metro area, so it is not available in Albany. See the pricing section above for details.

Will my listing appear on Zillow?

Listings go out through MyStateMLS, which feeds major listing sites. We cannot promise your home appears on any one site — it depends on listing type and eligibility.

Do I own the land under my mobile home?

In most Albany parks, no — you own the home and rent the lot. No Albany park publishes its rent, so ask your park office for the current figure. Your home is personal property, titled through an ownership document, not a deed.

Can my park stop me from selling?

No. Under ORS 90.680, a park may not deny your right to sell on rented space or require removal just because of the sale. It does get to approve your buyer through its normal application process, with a seven-day decision.

Can the park reject my buyer because my home is old?

No. ORS 90.680(12) bars rejection or forced removal because of the home's age, size, style, materials, or pre-HUD-code construction.

How much can my park raise the lot rent?

For parks with more than 30 spaces, HB 3054 caps annual increases at 6% for increases taking effect in 2026 and 2027 — Columbus Greens, at 268 spaces, is on that track. For parks with 30 or fewer spaces, the cap is 7% plus CPI, capped at 10% (9.5% for 2026, 10% for 2027). Exemptions exist. For any other Albany park, verify its space count first, since counts are unpublished.

What are park homes actually selling for in Albany?

We have asking prices only, not sold prices. In October 2026 listings: smaller homes asked $22,500–$62,000; larger homes asked $75,000–$140,000. Thirteen of seventeen listings had cut $5,000–$30,000. Dealer new homes and land-included sales are not comparable.

Should I compare my home to the dealers' new homes?

No. Dealer inventory in Albany's corridor is mostly new homes for placement, often with factory warranties. Your resale competes against other resales — above all against the eleven Columbus Greens listings. Price against those.

Do I need a real-estate agent to sell my park home?

No — but whoever handles the sale needs the right license. Selling someone else's manufactured structure without a manufactured-structure dealer license is a Class A misdemeanor in Oregon (ORS 446.671), and a standard real-estate license alone does not cover park homes. Ask any service or agent for their licensing in writing.

What paperwork is due after the sale?

Within 30 days after closing, the seller must file a DCBS-approved notice of sale with the Linn County Assessor, including the bill of sale and proof all property taxes are paid (ORS 446.641).

I'm not good with computers. Can I still use GoOnMLS?

Yes. The $99 listing needs only a phone call and up to 20 photos. You can also shoot your own video — post it wherever you like and we will link it to your listing. Call (971) 466-6657 and we'll walk you through it.

Your Next Move in Albany

Selling a manufactured home in an Albany park is a personal-property sale with a park-approval step — not a regular house sale. Get your park's rent in writing (nobody publishes it), price against real resale asking prices — not dealer new-home prices — and remember that asking is not selling: most Albany in-park listings had to cut $5,000–$30,000. Make sure whoever lists your home is licensed for exactly this kind of sale.

Bowman's Feb 2025 testimony; MHCO owner survey via Bill Miner testimony (2025-02-11); OSTA tenant survey via Rochelle Love Elder (2025-02-11) — all regional context, not Albany figures. OHCS MMCRC park-marina-closings page with 2026 CPI-adjusted closure payments (oregon.gov, accessed 2026-10-16). OHCS preserved-parks list (April 2025, digitalcollections.library.oregon.gov) — no Albany entries.
  • Oregon law: ORS 90.600, 90.645, 90.680, 90.769, 105.464, 105.465, 446.571, 446.621, 446.641, 446.671, 446.676 — statute text carried from the 2026-10-16 Salem research (verified via Justia / oregon.public.law 2025 text then; not re-verified this round); HB 3054 via OR DAS announcements (2025-09-30 corrected; 2026-09-28), Statesman Journal (2026-09-28), Boiler Bay Beacon (2026-09-29), Sen. Sollman's 2025-06-13 vote explanation (oregonlegislature.gov), citizenportal.ai summary. This is research, not legal advice — attorney review needed before publish.
  • Wages and housing costs: Data USA (ACS 2024 1-year, checked 2026-10-16); Point2Homes Albany demographics + average rent pages (Yardi Matrix data; 2022 Census figures for renter income; checked 2026-10-16); RentCafe Albany page (2026-10-16); affordablehousingonline.com (HUD FY2026 Fair Market Rents, 2026-10-16); NLIHC "Out of Reach 2026" (HUD FY2026, statewide).
  • Selling process / licensing: ORS 446.571, 446.621, 446.641, 446.671, 446.676; oregon.gov BCD MHODS pages; linncountyor.gov/assessor (checked 2026-10-16); MHCO "Dealer's License — What You Need to Know" (mhco.org); City of Albany Ordinance 3314 (news.albanyoregon.gov) for park space standards.
  • Methodology: All park rents are published rents only — none found for Albany; listing-reported rent descriptions are labeled as such. All home prices are asking prices, not sold prices — no market-wide median exists for used park homes. Space counts shown only where a source stated them. Single/double-wide groupings in the prices section are by beds/baths/size profile (listings don't always state it). Dealer inventory is excluded from resale comps.

Known data gaps (disclosed, not papered over): (1) No published lot rents for any Albany park — Columbus Greens' rent included. (2) Space counts unpublished for all parks except Columbus Greens (268) — the 6% vs 10% rent-cap track hinges on the 30-space threshold. (3) No sold-price data — everything is asking price; 13 of 17 in-park listings showed $5K–$30K cuts. (4) No Albany-specific lot-rent history. (5) Age restrictions unconfirmed for Sequoia Estates, Oak View Terrace, Village Estates (55+ status for Shorewood/Periwinkle comes from resale listings, not park sources). (6) Linn County tax-certification fee not yet looked up. (7) Statute texts carried from the 2026-10-16 Salem research, not re-verified this round. (8) HB 3054's cosmetic-change/interior-inspection sale provisions should be cross-checked against the enrolled bill before quoting as confirmed. (9) One near-duplicate Columbus Greens $105,000 listing (same agent, near-identical description) was listed once. (10) The Homes.com market module cites June 2026 figures (32 mobile homes, 75 days listed, $454,500 median); listing rows are from the same 2026-10-16 fetch.
