Among them? MMI underscores the point that the land-lease manufactured home community sector is getting hotter, which numbers of mainstream media outlets have been reporting in recent years too. As a result of more closures than openings and increased demand, site fees are rising as a result.<\/p>\n<p>The risk of regulatory interventions are growing, says MMI.<\/p>\n<p>MMI further notes that much of this is possible because an insufficient number of new sites are coming online which might otherwise dampen or mitigate the increasing stress on residents in consolidating investor-impacted properties. In that sense, it is a bit like the pressure on single family housing prices, where insufficient new supply is causing a rapid growth in existing resale housing prices.<\/p>\n<p>Manufactured home producers, retailers, and affordable housing advocates take note. Because what the MMI data is pointing to will &#8211; by the rules of economics &#8211; logically and arguably increasingly undermine the potential for robust growth that manufactured homes could and should be enjoying during a worsening affordable housing crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The highlighting below has been added by <em>MHProNews,<\/em> but the text is as in their original document.

Hardships brought on by the rapid surge of unemployment at the onset of the pandemic highlighted the need for moderately priced housing options. Households seeking larger spaces in less densely populated locations, in addition to more millennials aging into the homebuying phase of life, have bolstered the demand for single-family homes across the nation, which has sent prices soaring. The need for the more economical housing that manufactured home neighborhoods offer has boosted demand for lot rentals, rapidly filling up spaces. <span style=\"background-color: aqua;\"> A limited number of new communities have been built over the past few decades, however, mainly due to difficulty in obtaining the necessary permits<\/span>. Increased interest by more local jurisdictions to provide additional lower-cost housing could allow some new communities to be built or existing facilities to be enlarged in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Vacancy continues to tighten across the nation. <span style=\"background-color: yellow;\"> The lack of new inventory amid an increased need for economical housing options is bolstering demand in manufactured home communities&lt;<\/span>. Last year, nearly all subregions posted a decline in vacancy as the rate contracted in the majority of the markets surveyed. The rate is especially low in many coastal communities, particularly in California, where there is an increased need for workforce housing. Vacancy rates in age-restricted communities are even lower than all-age parks in most subregions as more than 10,000 people turn 65 years old each day. Households retiring to warmer climates or snowbirds seeking a second residence are boosting demand in the Sunbelt. <span style=\"background-color: yellow;\"> Looking ahead, high home prices and multifamily rents will continue to generate demand for lots in manufactured home communities while new supply remains limited, benefiting existing owners<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Rent growth maintained traction during health crisis. Rent collections in manufactured home communities outpaced most other property types last year. The cost for a homeowner to move their unit to another park is a contributing factor. <span style=\"background-color: yellow;\"> As a result of more residents staying in place, rent rose in the majority of metros in 2020<\/span>. Tightening vacancy and upgraded facilities combined to support the increasing rates. Prospects of future rent growth could be curtailed, however, by <span style=\"background-color: aqua;\"> rent control proposals that are becoming more prevalent<\/span>. Outside of these efforts, strong demand for lots and the slow pace of additional inventory growth will likely support continued rent gains over the near term.<\/p>\n<p>Capital flowing into manufactured home community investments. The solid operational performance during the health crisis has drawn a wider range of investors seeking a safer destination for capital. The influx of investments has begun to compress yields. Institutions and REITs remain active, although a lack of higher-quality parks in the best locations has required these buyers to expand their search criteria to include smaller parks or alternative locations. Private investors are also attempting to add to their portfolios, together with numerous buyers new to this property type, but acquisitions have been inhibited by limited listings. Communities rated with at least two stars that have no substantive operational issues frequently receive multiple offers, creating increased price pressure. Looking ahead, strong prices and risks surrounding potential tax law changes have caused some owners to reconsider their long-term strategy. Owners who have held a property for an extended period have little to no depreciation left and some are factoring in the favorable financing climate as they consider their next investment options.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19295\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19295\" style=\"width: 599px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/55plusPopgrowthAppreciationByRegionCoStarMoodyAnalyticsUSCensusMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-19295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/55plusPopgrowthAppreciationByRegionCoStarMoodyAnalyticsUSCensusMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews.png\" alt=\"55plusPopgrowthAppreciationByRegionCoStarMoodyAnalyticsUSCensusMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews\" width=\"599\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/55plusPopgrowthAppreciationByRegionCoStarMoodyAnalyticsUSCensusMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews.png 1841w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/55plusPopgrowthAppreciationByRegionCoStarMoodyAnalyticsUSCensusMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews-575x238.png 575w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/55plusPopgrowthAppreciationByRegionCoStarMoodyAnalyticsUSCensusMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews-1024x424.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/55plusPopgrowthAppreciationByRegionCoStarMoodyAnalyticsUSCensusMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews-150x62.png 150w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/55plusPopgrowthAppreciationByRegionCoStarMoodyAnalyticsUSCensusMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews-768x318.png 768w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/55plusPopgrowthAppreciationByRegionCoStarMoodyAnalyticsUSCensusMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews-1536x636.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19295\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Several of the illustrations shown in this report can be opened in many browsers to reveal a larger size.

As the price of stick-built homes and multifamily rents jump, the need for more economical housing is bolstering the demand in manufactured home parks, diminishing availability. Last year, roughly 75 percent of the metros surveyed posted an annual decline in vacancy. At the same time, some older communities, especially near larger metros, are being redeveloped into higher-density projects, cutting supply. Although some new communities and RV parks have recently been developed or are underway, additional lots typically come from an expansion of an existing park or are located in small metros where land prices are less costly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rent<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rents move higher as availability dwindles. The monthly rent payment for a home site in a manufactured housing community held steady or rose in 93 percent of surveyed metros during 2020. The higher rates are bolstered by strong demand, facility improvements and a lack of significant supply growth. The rising rent of sites, however, is drawing the attention of some affordable housing advocates, which is intensifying proposals to place limits on rent gains in some jurisdictions in an effort to preserve economical housing options. If successful, these changes could be challenging for future rent advances. <span style=\"background-color: yellow;\"> Among subregions, the Northeast led rent growth with a 4.6 percent gain, nudging out the Southwest and Mountain, both registering a 4.5 percent increase<\/span>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19303\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19303\" style=\"width: 606px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2020ManufacturedHomeCommunityAvarageLotRentsSiteFeesPerDatacompPerMarcusMillichapLogoMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-19303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2020ManufacturedHomeCommunityAvarageLotRentsSiteFeesPerDatacompPerMarcusMillichapLogoMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews.png\" alt=\"2020ManufacturedHomeCommunityAvarageLotRentsSiteFeesPerDatacompPerMarcusMillichapLogoMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews\" width=\"606\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2020ManufacturedHomeCommunityAvarageLotRentsSiteFeesPerDatacompPerMarcusMillichapLogoMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews.png 895w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2020ManufacturedHomeCommunityAvarageLotRentsSiteFeesPerDatacompPerMarcusMillichapLogoMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews-393x430.png 393w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2020ManufacturedHomeCommunityAvarageLotRentsSiteFeesPerDatacompPerMarcusMillichapLogoMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews-701x768.png 701w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2020ManufacturedHomeCommunityAvarageLotRentsSiteFeesPerDatacompPerMarcusMillichapLogoMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews-137x150.png 137w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2020ManufacturedHomeCommunityAvarageLotRentsSiteFeesPerDatacompPerMarcusMillichapLogoMMIManufacturedHomeCommunityMidyear2021reportoutlookanalysisMHProNews-768x841.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19303\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Several of the illustrations shown in this report can be opened in many browsers to reveal a larger size.

San Jose holds the highest average rent in the nation at $1,491 per month in 2020, followed by Orange County at $1,396 per month.<\/li>\n<li>The lowest average lot rent can be found in the West North Central subregion at $417 per month. More affordable stick-built housing prices and apartment rent compared with other regions of the country hold down rent gains.<\/li>\n<li>Metros in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast subregions dominate the list of markets with the lowest lot rent. Average monthly rates below $300 can be found in smaller metros including Columbia and Greenville in South Carolina, as well as Lynchburg and Birmingham.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Investment Sales<\/h3>\n<p>Flight to safety boosts demand for manufactured home communities. A surge in investor interest has created a seller\u2019s market, pushing prices higher and compressing yields. Cap rates, on average, have contracted 100 to 150 basis points over the past four quarters. First-year returns for prime, institutional-quality, age-restricted assets can dip into the high-3 percent range, while double-digit rates can occasionally be found in smaller outlying markets, particularly in the Midwest. During 2020, trading activity picked up in the majority of subregions with the Southeast, Pacific and Mountain states maintaining their dominance from the prior year. By state, Florida led transaction activity, accounting for 14 percent of the total. Average yields spanned from a high of 8.2 percent in the South down to 6.6 percent in the West in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Highlights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Although prices varied widely depending on a number of factors including quality and location, the Pacific maintained the highest average price per unit during 2020 at $88,100. The subregion also posted the lowest average cap rate at 6.3 percent.<\/li>\n<li>Light trading volume in the Northeast that was composed of mainly Class C properties with less than 150 units in smaller metros resulted in the lowest average price at $33,100 per lot. Yields ranged from a low of 5 percent and extended into double digits.<\/li>\n<li>The potential for lower price points and higher yields drew more buyers to the Midwest, increasing deal flow 16 percent in 2020. The average price, meanwhile, rose 17 percent to $44,500 per space.

Applying lessons learned from the global financial crisis, Congress and the Federal Reserve reacted boldly and swiftly to the coronavirus pandemic last year. A cut in the overnight lending rate to the zero lower bound and implementation of multiple quantitative easing programs have successfully maintained market liquidity and supported borrowers. As U.S. infections recede and the economy reopens, attention is shifting to the potential longer-term ramifications. The rapid increase in money supply paired with low interest rates and disrupted supply chains raises the risk of inflation. The Federal Open Market Committee considers this a temporary concern and has stated its intention to allow inflation to stay above the traditional 2 percent target for longer than it has in the past. The Fed has also clarified its intention to keep the overnight lending rate low for the near future but may begin to wind down some of its pandemic-period support measures, several of which have already ended. A change in the health situation, new legislation, or other unexpected factors that shift the direction of the current economic recovery may prompt additional actions from the FOMC.<\/p>\n<p>Lenders, like the economy, are opening back up, with financing available for quality properties. Following significant disruptions last year, the majority of lenders are now active and anticipating larger volume after 2020\u2019s slowdown. Sentiment is improving, aided by a 10-year Treasury rate above 1.5 percent and greater population mobility, which will help properties in commercial and travel hubs that were disproportionately affected by lockdowns. Lenders are nevertheless favoring borrowers with whom they have an established and positive relationship. A borrower\u2019s credit worthiness and track record bear considerable weight when acquiring capital, as does the recent financial performance of the residential community. Capital for manufactured housing communities remains generally available from local banks as well as government sponsored agencies. High-quality properties may be considered for a CMBS securitization or by a life-insurance company. Overall, while lending volume is not anticipated to recover to 2019 levels, the impact of the health crisis on capital availability is expected to be less severe than that of the global financial crisis. The external nature of the health problem and critical efforts taken by Congress and the Federal Reserve have maintained and are improving liquidity in the market.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19308\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19308\" style=\"width: 601px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MarcusMillichapLogo2021_ManufacturedHome_CommunitySectorOutlookMidYear2021CoreInflationInterestRatesMoneySupplyTrendsMHProNews.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-19308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MarcusMillichapLogo2021_ManufacturedHome_CommunitySectorOutlookMidYear2021CoreInflationInterestRatesMoneySupplyTrendsMHProNews.png\" alt=\"MarcusMillichapLogo2021_ManufacturedHome_CommunitySectorOutlookMidYear2021CoreInflationInterestRatesMoneySupplyTrendsMHProNews\" width=\"601\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MarcusMillichapLogo2021_ManufacturedHome_CommunitySectorOutlookMidYear2021CoreInflationInterestRatesMoneySupplyTrendsMHProNews.png 1921w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MarcusMillichapLogo2021_ManufacturedHome_CommunitySectorOutlookMidYear2021CoreInflationInterestRatesMoneySupplyTrendsMHProNews-575x298.png 575w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MarcusMillichapLogo2021_ManufacturedHome_CommunitySectorOutlookMidYear2021CoreInflationInterestRatesMoneySupplyTrendsMHProNews-1024x531.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MarcusMillichapLogo2021_ManufacturedHome_CommunitySectorOutlookMidYear2021CoreInflationInterestRatesMoneySupplyTrendsMHProNews-150x78.png 150w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MarcusMillichapLogo2021_ManufacturedHome_CommunitySectorOutlookMidYear2021CoreInflationInterestRatesMoneySupplyTrendsMHProNews-768x398.png 768w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MarcusMillichapLogo2021_ManufacturedHome_CommunitySectorOutlookMidYear2021CoreInflationInterestRatesMoneySupplyTrendsMHProNews-1536x796.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19308\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Several of the illustrations shown in this report can be opened in many browsers to reveal a larger size.

Reports like the above by MMI, and those by <em>MHProNews\/MHLivingNews<\/em> that has cited publicly-traded firm and other evidence, belied the claim by MHI that the average rate of site fee (lot rent) increase was 3 percent.\u00a0 An example of that misleading MHI claim is shown below. Under pressure by our trade media sources and a few of their own members, MHI has since revised that up to 3.5 percent, which is perhaps still too low, based upon a range of evidence &#8212; like MMI&#8217;s, above.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 602px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ManufacturedHousingInstituteLogoManufacturedHousingInstituteInfographicProductionCentersFactoriesCommunitiesLotRentSiteFeesFactCheckMHILogoMHProNews12.5.2020.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"794\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Several of the illustrations shown in this report can be opened in many browsers to reveal a larger size.

MMI\u2019s research lightly refers to the pressure for rent control in their report above.

MMI&#8217;s position in producing a report like the one above is not an easy one.\u00a0 They, like several others, attempt to navigate the sources of their revenue &#8211; which may include fellow MHI members that are purported &#8216;black hats.&#8217; While MHI has repeatedly declined to comment about the question if they have ever taken any significant action under their so-called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NationalCommunitiesCouncilLOGONCCManufacturedHousingInstituteLOGOmhiCodeOfEthicalConductFactCheckMHProNews6.3.2021-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code of Ethical Conduct,<\/a>&#8221; an MHI state affiliate and an MHI board member have told MHProNews that they are not aware of any such action.
