Investment Highlights

Buyers are flush with capital amid a scarce supply of available listings throughout most areas of the nation, which has resulted in more off-market transactions. Heightened demand is producing aggressive pricing that keeps cap rates steady despite the rise in interest rates.

In some areas of the country, for-sale listings are further reduced by resident groups in manufactured home communities exercising their right of first refusal and making offers to purchase the park.

Exchange buyers remain active. Many of these investors are trading out of other commercial real estate product types, such as apartments, and are unfamiliar with owning a manufactured home community. In many instances the potential for higher returns is luring them to consider park ownership and they are willing to pay a premium to own, helping to drive prices higher.

Communities on well and septic are still slower to trade. Some buyers are searching for a value-add opportunity in parks that have the potential to be hooked up to these city services.”
