Samuel A. Landy, President and CEO of UMH Properties, Inc., stated “UMH continued our strong momentum in the second quarter. Our high-quality communities are experiencing strong demand which is resulting in record sales, growing occupancy and increased revenue.
“We are pleased to report that we set a quarterly sales record of $11.4 million with over $5 million in sales closings in June. Our sales pipeline is growing, and we anticipate continued growth throughout the remainder of the year. Additionally, we converted 193 new homes from inventory to revenue generating rental homes. We currently have 100 homes on site that are ready for occupancy with another 300 homes currently being set up. This inventory will allow us to drive additional occupancy, revenue growth and sales volume in the third quarter of 2026 and beyond.
“Additionally, we strengthened our balance sheet through the issuance of our preferred shares and the successful amendment and extension of our revolving line of credit, which will allow us to continue our internal investments and provides us with financial flexibility.
“The investments we have made in our communities, expansions and value-added acquisitions have positioned the company to grow further through the occupancy of our 3,200 vacant sites and development of 2,300 acres of vacant land.
We look forward to reporting our full second quarter results on August 5, 2026.”
