What are old mobile homes worth? Sadly not much especially if they're located in Florida near the water. Carole Baskin of Big Cat Rescue BCR found that out the hard way after selling, trying to sell the Big Cat Rescue land. This is why people generally give an old trailer home to the buyer for free. If not, no one will buy it and you may have to pay to remove it. 

Carole Baskin originally listed this 1984 5 bed, 2 bath 56' x 24' 1,300 sf mobile home in fair condition for $56,000. I think the land maybe sold for $300,000. I looked at the address once but didn't save it. I believe this is the trailer where her daughter Jamie lived when she worked at Big Cat Rescue. Read the ad and make of it as you see fit. I make no guarantees as I didn't appraise this property. She's since reduced the price to $27,000. 

Mobile homes don't last as long as stick built homes. They are generally not built to the same quality especially one built in 1984. Properties in Florida wear faster due to rain, sun, salt air and possible hurricanes and flooding. This one is listed at $20/sf. 

Generally mobile homes last about 30-50 years. They can last longer if you maintain and upgrade them with no roofing, windows, floors as needed. This one is listed in fair condition so I assume no major upgrades. It's located near water in Florida so there will be more rust and rot. This one is 40 years old nearing the end of its economic life. Whoever buys the home will also have to pay to move it and install it at a new location. These things aren't cheap to do. Always do your research before you buy a regular stick built home or a mobile home. Hire a real estate appraiser if it includes land. If not, there are mobile home appraisers which will appraiser just the home. 

Big Cat Rescue site is 12802 Easy St, Tampa, FL, Hillsborough County, 33625 or 17342 Gunn Hgwy, Odessa, FL. Map Partial legal description S 1/2 OF NW 1/4 OF SE 1/4 LESS RR R/W ON E. That is about 18 acres but someone said entire site is 67 acres. This land belonged to the nonprofit. I believe proceeds must go to another like kind nonprofit. If you search here, you can see all the other properties they own. https://gis.hcpafl.org/propertysearch/#/nav/Basic%20Search Search Carole Baskin, Big Cat Rescue to see them all.
