The company is also engaged in negotiations for potential acquisitions that align with its growth strategy.
Operationally, ELS reported a total of 119 new home sales during the third quarter, a decrease from 174 in the same period last year, attributed to a moderation in demand, particularly in the Florida market. The company’s average monthly rental income per site in the Core Portfolio increased to approximately $912, up from $861 in the previous year. However, the average occupancy for the Core Portfolio decreased slightly, reflecting challenges in the rental market.
