B. Intro: Selling a Park Home in Roseburg — The Short Version
Roseburg is the timber-country hub of the Umpqua Valley — a small city on the South Umpqua River, about 70 miles south of Eugene. Housing here costs far less than in Portland or Bend, and manufactured homes are a big part of how regular people afford to own.
Thousands of residents live in manufactured homes — also called mobile homes — inside leased-land parks. You own the home. You rent the lot under it.
Roseburg's park-home market is one of Oregon's most affordable. Sold prices we found ran $64,900–$77,000 — far below the Willamette Valley. That makes Roseburg attractive to fixed-income buyers. But it also means your market moves on monthly cost, not curb appeal: lot rents and park rules decide deals here.
When it's time to sell, you have options. You can list it yourself, hire a traditional agent, or use a flat-fee service like GoOnMLS. A GoOnMLS listing starts at $99 and puts your home on the MLS, which feeds major home-search sites.
This guide covers Roseburg's park-home market: real parks, real rents, real asking and sold prices (from 2025–2026 listings), your rights under Oregon law, and the exact steps to sell. Every number below comes from a named source, with the date it was checked. Where we don't have a number, we say so — we don't guess.
Plain-language promise: This guide is written for sellers, not salespeople. Short sentences. No jargon. If something is an estimate, we label it an estimate.
C. Roseburg at a Glance
Roseburg sits in Douglas County, southwestern Oregon, about 70 miles south of Eugene on I-5. It's the county seat and the commercial center of the Umpqua Valley — historically a lumber town, surrounded by forests and rivers.
Key facts about Roseburg (all from Census-based sources, checked 2026-10-16):
- Population: 23,693 (July 1, 2025 estimate) — nearly flat since the 2020 Census (23,683). Slow, steady — no boom.
- Median household income: $50,297/year — ZipAtlas (Census-based). One other published figure ($47,920) differs; both point to the same story: Roseburg earns well below the Oregon median.
- Median gross rent: $1,063/month — American Community Survey 2020–2024.
- Median owner-occupied home value: $289,800 — ACS 2020–2024. A typical Roseburg home with a mortgage costs $1,590/month.
- 21.7% of Roseburg residents are 65 or older. Senior parks like Rose Terrace are a big part of the park-home market here.
What this means for park-home sellers: Roseburg is a price-sensitive market. Your buyers are often retirees or working families on tight budgets. They care about the monthly number — home payment plus space rent — more than anything else. A park home that pencils at under $800/month total has a real audience here.
D. Mobile-Home Parks in and Around Roseburg
There is no official city inventory of Roseburg's parks. Below are the parks we could verify this round. Rents shown are published rents only — most Roseburg parks post nothing.
Verified parks
- Roseburg Mobile Home & RV Park — 2017 NE Stephens St, Roseburg 97470 — 121 units; built 1952; (541) 243-7213; roseburgmhrvpark.com. The city's largest known park. No published lot-rent figure found — call the office.
- Umpqua Ranch Cooperative — 22020 N Umpqua Hwy, Idleyld Park OR 97447 (just east of Roseburg) — 110 homes; resident-owned since October 1, 2015 (bought with CASA of Oregon and ROC USA support; managed by Commonwealth Real Estate Services). The co-op's members vote on the budget and any rent changes — resident ownership typically means more stable rents. Ask the co-op office for current figures.
- Rose Terrace — Shadow Ranch Ln, Roseburg 97470 — 55+ gated community ("Rose Terrace gated community for residents 55 and over"). This is the senior-park hub of the local market: three of the only sold-price records we found are in Rose Terrace ($64,900–$68,000, sold October 2025). No published space count or current lot-rent figure found — ask the park office before pricing.
- Alameda Mobile Home & RV Park — 581 NE Alameda Ave, Roseburg — Active; (541) 391-8233; alamedamhrvpark.com. No published rent or space count found.
- Valley View Mobile Home Park — 200 Emils Way Unit 45, Roseburg 97471 (known from a listing address only; the park's own details were not independently verified).
- River View Estates — 141 River Ridge Ave, Roseburg 97471 (name from a listing address only; the $550,000 home listed there appears land-included and is not a park-home comp).
What we don't know: Most Roseburg parks don't publish rents or space counts. The two verified rent figures in this guide ($550 and the $850 estimate) are all we found — a thin picture. If your park isn't listed here, call the park office or ask a neighbor with a recent rent notice. Space counts matter: Oregon's rent-increase cap works differently for parks above and below 30 spaces (see Section F) — and only Roseburg MHP (121) and Umpqua Ranch (110) have verified counts.

E. What Lot Rent Costs Right Now
Lot rent (also called space rent) is the monthly payment for the ground your home sits on. Honest warning: Roseburg's published lot-rent data is thin. What we verified:
- $550/month space rent (sewer included) — per the active listing at 165 Green Vista Ln (Green area, near Roseburg), updated September 2026. That's a real, current number.
- $850/month "estimated space rent for a new buyer" (includes water, sewer, garbage) — per a listing for 213 River Ridge Ave, a 2001 home in a 55+ community. This is the listing agent's estimate, from an older listing — treat it as a ballpark, not a quote. Call the park office for the real figure.
- 59 Manor Loop (all-ages park): space rent includes water, sewer, and trash — the amount was not stated in the listing.
What we could not verify: lot rents at Roseburg Mobile Home & RV Park, Alameda, Umpqua Ranch, Rose Terrace, or Valley View. One figure seen during research (a flyer-based $779 for Rose Terrace) could not be re-verified from any public source, so we dropped it rather than print a stale number. Call the park office before you buy — or price — anything. Under-reporting this is deliberate: we'd rather show one real number and one flagged estimate than fill the page with guesses.
Additional costs buyers (and sellers) should account for:
- Utilities: Some listings bundle water, sewer, and garbage into the rent; others don't — check the specific park's rules. (Roseburg MHP's apartments.com page notes utilities are not included and must be set up separately.)
- No statewide real-estate transfer tax in Oregon. On the state side, the transaction cost is the $55 DCBS ownership-document fee plus any county tax-certification fee (Douglas County's current certification fee was not yet looked up — verify before quoting a total).
- Rent can only go up once in any 12-month period, with 90 days' written notice (ORS 90.600) — see Section F.
F. Rent History and Your Rights Under Oregon Law
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.
What rents have done recently
There is no park-by-park rent history dataset for Roseburg. Statewide figures are the only record:
- Park-owner industry survey (100 owners): average annual increase of 5.39% from 2019–2024. (Testimony of Bill Miner, attorney for Manufactured Housing Communities of Oregon, reported by the Salem Statesman Journal, 2025-02-11.)
- Tenant survey (~500 tenants, 2025): average annual increase of nearly 7%; average lot rent "projected to surpass Social Security benefits by 75% within 10 years." (Rochelle Love Elder, Oregon State Tenants Association, 2025-02-11.)
- Roseburg-specific: no published Roseburg park rent series was found. Verify any specific park's history with the park office.
Oregon's current rent-increase caps (HB 3054, 2025)
Oregon now has two tracks for manufactured-dwelling parks, per HB 3054, applying to increases taking effect in 2026 and 2027:
- Parks with MORE than 30 spaces: 6% maximum annual increase. Roseburg Mobile Home & RV Park (121) and Umpqua Ranch (110) are on this track by their verified counts.
- Parks with 30 or fewer spaces: 7% + CPI, capped at 10%. That's 9.5% for 2026 and 10% for 2027. Oregon's Department of Administrative Services publishes the number each year by September 30.
Sources: Oregon Dept. of Administrative Services announcements (2025-09-30, corrected; 2026-09-28); Statesman Journal (2026-09-28).
Exemptions from the cap: the cap does not apply where the first certificate of occupancy was issued less than 15 years before the notice, or for regulated/certified affordable housing where rent is income-based — ORS 90.600(3)(a)–(b).
Infrastructure exception (parks over 30 spaces only): a one-time increase of up to 12%, allowed at most once every 5 years, and only with: a documented project with 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 (signed, space-identified ballots); and a full refund (minus the normal cap) if the project isn't substantially complete within 12 months of the estimated completion date — ORS 90.600(3)(c).
Notice and process (ORS 90.600)
- 90 days' written notice before any rent increase; increases allowed at most once in any 12-month period. The notice must state the increase amount, the new rent, facts supporting any exemption claim, and the effective date.
- Penalty for violations: the landlord is liable for 3 months' rent plus actual damages — ORS 90.600(4).
- Tenants may form a tenants' committee of up to 7 members; on written request the landlord must meet with the committee (1–2 times per calendar year) and respond in good faith in writing within 60 days — ORS 90.600(8).
Your right to sell (ORS 90.680)
Key protections when you sell your park home:
- A park may not deny you the right to sell your home on its rented space, and may not require you to remove the home solely 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).
- Buyer approval: the buyer submits a complete written application; the park must accept or reject within 7 days (10 days if you didn't give the 10-day notice). Screening criteria must be substantially similar to what the park applies to buyers of its own homes. The park may not reject unreasonably and must give written reasons (except for consumer-report rejections, where the report contents stay private) — ORS 90.680(10).
- The park may not reject a buyer or force removal because of the home's age, size, style, materials, or pre-HUD-code construction — ORS 90.680(12).
- On request, the park must give the buyer its statement of policy, the rental agreement, park rules, any outstanding repair or condition notices, lists of disrepair/deterioration and rule violations, and a statement that repairs may be required — ORS 90.680(9).
- No commissions without a written consignment contract (maximum 180 days, with specific required terms) — ORS 90.680(4). A park may not require you to consign as a condition of tenancy — ORS 90.680(3).
- HB 3054 also added limits on parks conditioning a sale on cosmetic or aesthetic changes to the home or requiring interior inspections as a condition of sale. Our research notes this should be cross-checked against the enrolled bill text before being quoted — treat it as reported, not confirmed.
Park closure (ORS 90.645)
- A park must give 365 days' written notice before closing or converting, pay relocation payments to tenants (amounts are tiered — verify current figures before quoting), impose no rent increase after a closure notice, and charge no move-out penalties or unaccrued-rent charges for tenants who leave during the notice period.
G. Wages vs. Housing Costs in Roseburg
| What | Figure | Source / year |
|---|---|---|
| Median household income, Roseburg city | $50,297/year | ZipAtlas (Census-based) |
| Median gross rent, Roseburg | $1,063/month | Census QuickFacts, ACS 2020–2024 |
| Current apartment rents, Roseburg (Oct 2026) | 1BR $1,325; 2BR $1,450; 3BR $1,769 | ApartmentList (listing-based) |
| Douglas County 2-bedroom housing wage | $24.44/hour | Computed from HUD FY2026 FMR of $1,271/month |
| Oregon statewide housing wage (2BR) | $33.43/hour needed; average renter earns $23.20/hour; minimum wage $15.55 | NLIHC "Out of Reach 2026" |
| Median owner-occupied home value, Roseburg | $289,800 | Census QuickFacts, ACS 2020–2024 |
| Typical Roseburg home cost with mortgage | $1,590/month | Census QuickFacts, ACS 2020–2024 |
| Observed Roseburg park lot rents | $550/month (one current figure); one older $850 estimate | This guide's research, 2026 |
Plain-language takeaway: In Douglas County it takes about $24.44/hour to afford a typical 2-bedroom apartment — a number most renters don't reach (the statewide average renter earns $23.20). A typical Roseburg apartment rents for $1,450; a typical home costs $1,590/month with a mortgage. Against that, the math of a park home speaks for itself: three 2025 Rose Terrace sales closed at $64,900–$68,000, and the only current verified lot rent is $550/month. For a senior on Social Security or a working family, that's often the only ownership path in town. Price the home payment plus space rent as one monthly number — that's how your buyers think.
H. What Park Homes Are Selling For
Important: Most prices below are asking prices — what the seller is asking, not what the home sold for. Roseburg is unusual in this series: we also found three real sold prices (marked SOLD). Several asking-price listings come from older snapshots — those are flagged.
Asking prices (current and older listings)
| Asking | Home | Park / area |
|---|---|---|
| $54,900 | 3-bed/2-bath, 1,296 sq ft, 1997 double-wide (needs TLC; new roof 2020); space rent $550 | Green area, Roseburg — active, Sept 2026 |
| $75,900 | 3-bed/2-bath, 1,440 sq ft | 406 Shadow Ranch Ln (Rose Terrace 55+) (older listing — verify) |
| $79,000 | 4-bed/2-bath, 1,823 sq ft, 1978 | 200 Emils Way Unit 45 (Valley View) (older listing — verify) |
| $80,000 | 3-bed/2-bath, 1,080 sq ft (water/sewer/trash in rent) | 59 Manor Loop, all-ages park (older listing — verify) |
| $95,000 | 3-bed/2-bath, 1,296 sq ft, 2001, well-kept | 213 River Ridge Ave (55+ community) (older listing — verify) |
| $119,000 | 2-bed/2-bath, 1,404 sq ft (new windows, mini-split) | 140 Berry Loop Ln (older listing — verify) |
| $23,000 | 2-bed/1-bath, 784 sq ft (very old, small) | 226 Owyhee Ln (older listing — verify) |
Sold prices (what homes actually closed for)
| Sold | Home | Where |
|---|---|---|
| $64,900 SOLD Oct 15, 2025 | 2-bed/2-bath, 1,416 sq ft, 1978 — 28 days on market | 211 Shadow Ranch Ln (Rose Terrace senior park) |
| $68,000 SOLD Oct 8, 2025 | 2-bed/2-bath + den, 1,296 sq ft, 1983 — 27 days on market | 1005 Shadow Ranch Ln (Rose Terrace 55+) |
| $77,000 SOLD Jul 31, 2025 | 2-bed/2-bath, 1,512 sq ft, 1989 — 89 days on market, $51/sqft | 2363 NE Kerr St, Roseburg |
| Sold (price not shown) | 2-bed/1-bath, 1976 single-wide — 320 days on market | Roseburg Mobile Home & RV Park (2071 NE Stephens St #M8) |
What drives the price
- Age and size: The three sold comps are all 1978–1989 double-wides at $64,900–$77,000 — that range is the real market anchor, not the asking prices.
- The park: Rose Terrace's two 2025 sales ($64,900 and $68,000) both moved in under a month — well-run 55+ parks with reasonable rents sell faster.
- Days on market tell the story: 27–28 days for the Rose Terrace sales vs. 89 days for the Kerr St sale vs. 320 days for the old single-wide at Roseburg MHP. Asking prices that sit for months are asking too much.
- Roseburg is Oregon's value corner: even the top asking price here ($119,000) sits below entry-level asking prices in Salem or Bend.
Not comparable: A $550,000 listing at 141 River Ridge Ave (3-bed/2.5-bath, 2,362 sq ft) and $485,000–$499,900 triple-wides on acreage are land-included sales — a different market. Exclude them from park-home comps. The pre-1976 homes (e.g., the $23,000 single-wide, the 1976 unit at Roseburg MHP) are harder to finance and price lower — note the home's age when comparing.

I. How to Sell a Park Home in Oregon, Step by Step
Selling a manufactured home in a park is different from selling a house on land. In Oregon, your park home is personal property — like a car — not real estate. Here's how the process works.
1. The home is titled through an ownership document — not a deed
Oregon no longer issues vehicle-style titles for manufactured structures. (Old pre-May-2005 DOT titles still count as proof of ownership.) Instead, ownership is shown through an ownership document issued by the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS), Building Codes Division. For used homes, the transfer application goes through the county assessor, and DCBS keeps the MHODS ownership database. The state fee is $55.
Sources: ORS 446.571; ORS 446.621; oregon.gov BCD forms page; Lane County Assessment & Taxation MHODS explainer.
2. After closing, the sale must be reported within 30 days
Under ORS 446.641, within 30 days after closing the seller must give the county assessor — in Roseburg, that's the Douglas County Assessor (1036 SE Douglas Ave, Roseburg OR 97470; (541) 440-4222) — a DCBS-approved notice of sale including: the identities of seller and buyer, 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, which updates the ownership record. If the seller doesn't file, the buyer may file the notice — but the seller still faces a civil penalty.
3. The park must approve your buyer
This is the step that surprises most sellers. Under ORS 90.680 (see Section F):
- Give the park written notice up to 10 days before the sale if your rental agreement requires it.
- Your buyer submits a complete written application to the park.
- The park must accept or reject within 7 days (10 days if you didn't give the 10-day notice).
- The park's screening must be substantially similar to what it applies to buyers of its own homes — no unreasonable rejection, and written reasons are required.
- The park cannot reject because of the home's age, size, style, materials, or pre-HUD-code construction.
Tip: Talk to your park office early. Ask for the buyer-application packet and the park's statement of policy before you list, so there are no surprises after you find a buyer. (Umpqua Ranch posts its screening criteria publicly — a 50-year lease and credit standards — and notes it takes screening seriously.)
4. Disclosures
Oregon's standard 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 — is outside the statutory form. That doesn't mean silence: 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, rental agreement, rules, and repair/condition lists under ORS 90.680(9).
5. Watch out for the dealer-license trap
Oregon law says acting as an agent to sell someone else's manufactured structure without a manufactured-structure dealer license is a Class A misdemeanor (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 doesn't cover it either — the exception for real-estate licensees applies only to homes that are real property (deed-recorded), not park homes (ORS 446.676). The industry association's guidance puts 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.")
What this means for you: make sure whoever lists your park home is properly licensed for this exact kind of sale. GoOnMLS operates under the required dealer licensing (details will be updated upon final approval). Ask any agent or service you consider the same question — and get the answer in writing.
J. GoOnMLS Options and Pricing
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 the paperwork tiers you choose.
Pricing (cumulative — each tier includes everything below it)
- $99 — MLS listing. Your home listed on the MLS with 2 photos. Listings are distributed through MyStateMLS, which feeds major listing sites. We can't guarantee any specific site will show your listing — distribution depends on listing type and eligibility.
- $199 — MLS listing + media package. Everything above, plus up to 50 photos and a 3-minute video. You shoot the photos and video on your phone; we edit, post to YouTube, and link it to the MLS listing.
- $1,999 — MLS listing + media + transaction coordination. Everything above, plus help with the purchase agreement, DocuSign, and escrow coordination.
- $6,999 — Full service: NOT available in Roseburg. Everything would include signs, flyers, lockbox, buyer qualifying, and showings — but this tier is available in the Portland metro only. In Roseburg, the top tier is $1,999 transaction coordination. The $6,999 fee is due at closing — zero upfront — and the $199 media fee is waived.
Licensing note: Our license status is currently being finalized — the site shows a placeholder. GoOnMLS operates under the required dealer licensing (details will be updated upon final approval). We will never assert a license number until it's confirmed.
Honest limits
- We can't guarantee your home will sell, how fast, or at what price.
- We can't guarantee your listing appears on any specific website. Distribution goes through MyStateMLS and depends on the listing type and eligibility rules.
- Commission comparisons elsewhere on this page are for illustration only — actual fees are negotiable and vary.
K. DIY Flat Fee vs. a Traditional Agent
There's no single right way to sell. Here's a neutral comparison.
Flat-fee MLS listing (GoOnMLS, starting at $99):
- You pay a fixed fee. No percentage of the sale price.
- Your home appears on the MLS, which feeds major home-search sites (subject to listing type and eligibility — see Section J).
- You handle inquiries, showings, and negotiations yourself (unless you choose a higher tier).
- Best fit: sellers comfortable with a phone and a little paperwork, or sellers whose home is priced to move.
Traditional full-service agent:
- The agent handles photos, showings, negotiations, and paperwork.
- The listing commission is a percentage of the sale price — negotiable, and it varies. For illustration only: a 2.5–3% listing commission on a $65,000 Roseburg home would be $1,625–$1,950. Your actual fee may be higher or lower — commissions are negotiable and vary by agent and market.
- Best fit: sellers who want someone else to run the whole process.
Neither choice is "better" in the abstract. A traditional agent earns their fee when the service saves you time or gets you a better outcome; a flat fee makes sense when you'd rather keep the difference and do the legwork. Pick the one that fits your situation.
One caution that applies to both: whoever sells your park home needs the right license for manufactured structures sold without land (see the dealer-license note in Section I). Ask, and get the answer in writing.
L. Your Selling Checklist
- Find your ownership document. Locate your DCBS ownership document (or old pre-2005 title). If it's lost, contact DCBS Building Codes Division about a replacement before you list.
- Check your property taxes. Make sure all property taxes and special assessments on the home are paid — you'll need Douglas County tax certification at closing.
- Talk to your park office. Ask for the buyer-application packet, the statement of policy, the rental agreement, and the park rules. Ask what the current space rent is and whether an increase is scheduled.
- Price the home. Roseburg's real anchor is the three 2025 sold prices ($64,900–$77,000 for 1978–1989 double-wides) — price against sold homes, not stale asking prices. Factor in your park's lot rent; buyers do.
- Get the home ready. Clean thoroughly. Fix what's broken. For older homes, small repairs (skirting, steps, paint) pay back more than big remodels.
- Photograph and list. Good daylight photos of every room, the exterior, and the park. List on the MLS through GoOnMLS (from $99) or your chosen service.
- Show the home. Be available. Keep it clean and lit for every showing.
- Get offers in writing. Use a written purchase agreement. Decide in advance your lowest acceptable price.
- Buyer applies to the park. Your buyer submits the park application; the park has 7 days to decide (10 if you skipped the 10-day seller notice). Don't 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 Douglas County Assessor, with proof taxes are paid.

N. Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to sell my mobile home in a Roseburg park with GoOnMLS?
A basic MLS listing is $99 (2 photos). $199 adds a media package (up to 50 photos + a 3-minute video — you shoot, we edit). $1,999 adds transaction coordination (purchase-agreement help, DocuSign, escrow). Full service at $6,999 is not available in Roseburg — it's Portland metro only. See Section J for details.
Will my listing appear on Zillow?
Listings are distributed through MyStateMLS, which feeds major listing sites. We can't guarantee your home will appear on any specific site — it depends on listing type and eligibility.
Do I own the land under my mobile home?
In most Roseburg-area parks, no — you own the home and rent the lot (space rent; the one current verified figure is $550/month with sewer included, per a September 2026 listing). Your home is personal property, titled through an ownership document — not a deed. (See Section I.)
Can my park stop me from selling?
No. Under ORS 90.680, a park may not deny your right to sell the home on its rented space, and may not require removal just because of the sale. The park does get to approve your buyer through its normal application process (7-day decision). (See Section F.)
Can the park reject my buyer because my home is old?
No. ORS 90.680(12) bars the park from rejecting a buyer or forcing 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 — that includes Roseburg Mobile Home & RV Park (121 units) and Umpqua Ranch (110 homes) by their verified counts. For parks with 30 or fewer spaces, the cap is 7% + CPI, capped at 10% (9.5% for 2026, 10% for 2027). Exemptions exist (see Section F). For any other park, verify its space count first.
What are park homes actually selling for in Roseburg?
Roseburg has real sold data — rare in this series. Three 2025 sales closed at $64,900–$68,000 (Rose Terrace 55+) and $77,000 (NE Kerr St), all 1978–1989 double-wides. Current asking prices run $54,900 (1997 double-wide, active Sept 2026) up to $119,000 for the newest listed home — but several asking listings are months old, so verify before pricing. (See Section H.)
Is Rose Terrace a 55+ park?
Yes — Rose Terrace (Shadow Ranch Ln, Roseburg) is a 55+ gated community for residents 55 and over, per the listings. Age-restricted parks can legally limit residency to 55+.
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 doesn't cover park homes. Ask any service or agent for their licensing in writing. (See Section I.)
What paperwork is due after the sale?
Within 30 days after closing, the seller must file a DCBS-approved notice of sale with the Douglas 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 a couple of photos. For the $199 media package, you shoot photos/video on your phone and we handle the editing and posting. Call (971) 466-6657 and we'll walk you through it.
O. Conclusion: What to Do Next
Selling a manufactured home in a Roseburg park is a personal-property sale with a park-approval step — not a regular house sale. Roseburg's market has a gift most cities lack: real sold prices ($64,900–$77,000) you can price against. Know your park's rent and rules (call the office — most Roseburg parks publish nothing), keep the monthly number (home payment + space rent) where fixed-income buyers can reach it, and make sure whoever lists your home is licensed for exactly this kind of sale.
If a flat-fee MLS listing fits your plans, explore GoOnMLS.com's services — starting at $99 — or call (971) 466-6657 to talk it through with a real person. No pressure, no jargon.

- Methodology: All park rents are published rents or agent estimates (labeled). Asking prices are asking, not selling — flagged as current or older by listing age. Sold prices are stated as sold with close dates. Space counts shown only where a source stated them. The unre-verifiable $779 Rose Terrace lot-rent figure was dropped, not hedged.
Known data gaps (disclosed, not papered over): (1) Only one current published lot-rent figure ($550) plus one older agent estimate ($850); the seed-intel $779 Rose Terrace figure could not be re-verified and was dropped. (2) No published rents or space counts for Roseburg MHP, Alameda, Umpqua Ranch, Valley View, or River View Estates; no official city park inventory. (3) Most asking-price listings come from 168–349-day-old crawls — flagged throughout as needing re-verification. (4) Sold data limited to three 2025 sales plus one price-less sale. (5) Douglas County tax-certification fee not yet looked up. (6) HB 3054's cosmetic-change/interior-inspection sale provisions should be cross-checked against the enrolled bill before quoting as confirmed. (7) No Roseburg-specific rent-increase history or named park closure documented this round.
