Powers, Oregon: A Small-Town Park-Home Sale

Start With the Price

Many sellers ask about cost first, so here it is. Go On MLS lists your manufactured home on the MLS for $99. That tier carries up to 20 photos, MyStateMLS placement, and syndication to 135+ listing sites including Google. You show the home and negotiate directly.

Need paperwork help? Stepping up to $1,999 brings purchase-agreement help, DocuSign, and escrow coordination on top of the listing. The $6,999 full-service tier is limited to Portland metro area. It is not available in Powers. Sellers here pick the $99 or $1,999 option.

Check pricing plans, scan active Oregon listings, or run buyer costs on the Oregon financing calculator to estimate a buyer's monthly cost. You can also contact us or reach us at 971-GO-ON-MLS.

Powers in Plain Terms

Powers is a small city in Coos County, inland from the south coast. The 2020 Census counted 710 people. It is a timber-country town, quiet and spread out. Housing here is modest. That includes manufactured homes and RV sites, which is why this page exists.

This guide is about homes in parks and on leased land. The home is yours. The lot remains rented. The land itself is not sold in the sale. Keep that split in mind through every step below.

Parks Found in Powers

Search results show a mobile home and RV park inside Powers, plus an RV park nearby. We list them as found, with addresses from the search results. No rent figures were published in those results, so we do not quote any.

• Mobile Home and RV park — 800 King St, Powers. It is catalogued as a mobile home park with RV spaces. No current rent appears in published sources. Check the current rent with the park office.
• Myrtle Tree RV — 801 Avenue E, Powers. Listed as an RV park. It operates as an RV park, not as a mobile home park. Confirm current terms with the operator.

If your home is in the King Street park, ask the office for three things before listing: the current lot rent, the buyer application, and any planned rent change. Those three answers shape your listing more than photos do.

The Paperwork Trail in Oregon

Oregon does not use deeds for park homes. Your home has an ownership document through DCBS. Transferring that document to a buyer costs $55 in state fees. The county steps in first: it must certify taxes are paid, using Form 2952. No certification, no transfer.

Buyer approval is the step sellers most often underestimate. ORS 90.680 requires the buyer to apply to the park in writing. Once the application is complete, the park must decide within 7 days. If you skipped the 10-day pre-sale notice, the window is 10 days. Get the packet to your buyer the week you list, not the week you close.

On rent, the law is plain. Parks must give written notice 90 days before a rent increase. They can increase rent only once in any 12 months. Buyers deserve the current rent and any scheduled increase in writing.

Treat this section as general information, not legal advice. Statutes change. Confirm the current law or ask an Oregon lawyer if anything about your sale is unusual.

Powers Seller Questions

What if my buyer is rejected by the park?

The park must follow its own screening process and give a decision in the legal window. Ask for the reason in writing. Then you can decide whether to find another buyer or address the issue.

Do I need the park's permission to list?

You do not need permission to list your own home. The park's approval step applies to the buyer, not to your advertising.

Can rent go up right after I sell?

Only after 90 days of written notice, and only once in 12 months. Ask the office whether an increase is already scheduled, and share that answer with buyers.

Is the $99 listing really statewide?

Yes. The $99 MLS listing and the $1,999 coordination tier serve all of Oregon. Only full service at $6,999 is limited to Portland metro area.
