Usually with the manufactured home it is easy to get a list price. With modular it more difficult. They are alot more issues to take into consideration. If you are looking at homes on a lot they are probably manufactured (aka trailers, mobile homes). Modulars have to sit on a full foundation and therefore more expensive to display, A manufactured home is a trailer so all they have to do is park it, un hitch it, and put a few blocks underneath it.

Another issue is prep work, a modular needs a foundation and requires more finishing work than a manufactured. A modular also will requires a crane to lift the pieces of the home onto a foundation. A manufactured can be parked, jacked up and placed on blocks, the retailers usually have that figured into the price. You can also have a permanent foundation under a manufactured, and than the manufactured home will be rolled onto the foundation.

Sorry this is long but this is why it isn't as easy to get a "list price" on a modular.

You can't, at least I never could. You have to go visit the retailers and they tell you how much they are, it would be much simpler just to be able to know how much before they suckered you into falling in love with something you cannot afford. I know that Palm Harbor homes are really expensive I have went there and looked, I have actually went to about every dealer and looked. Hope you find what you are looking for.
