Million-dollar mobile homes are hitting the market in exclusive beachfront communities coveted by celebrities and the ultra-wealthy.
Real estate prices have skyrocketed across the country, particularly in California and New York, where they have reached all-time highs in cities such as Los Angeles and Manhattan.
