Samuel A. Landy, President and CEO of UMH Properties, Inc., stated “UMH had an exceptional year in 2025. This year was highlighted by an increase in same property occupancy of 354 units, driven by the addition of 717 revenue generating rental homes, an increase in sales of 8%, the acquisition of five communities in our target markets and the successful refinancing of 17 communities which demonstrates the long-term value creation of our business plan.
“Our high-quality communities continue to experience strong demand for sales and rental homes, which is driving increased occupancy and sales results. We currently have 140 homes on site and ready for occupancy with another 330 homes being set up. This inventory will allow us to drive additional occupancy and revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026 and beyond.
“We successfully refinanced 17 communities for total proceeds of $193.2 million. This capital was used to repay existing debt, invest in our rental home program, capital improvements, acquire new communities and buy back our common stock. It’s important to note that the appraisals conducted for the refinancing demonstrate the value created by our business plan. Our total investment in these communities was approximately $140 million, or $37,000 per site, and they were valued at approximately $309 million, or $82,000 per site, generating an increase in value of $169 million, representing an increase of 121% in value.
“We are confident that the investments we have made in our portfolio will lead to continued earnings per share growth in the quarters to come. We are proud of our results and commend our team for their hard work in 2025.
“We look forward to reporting our Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 results on February 25, 2026.”
