UMH
PROPERTIES, INC. THIRD QUARTER 2026 OPERATIONS UPDATE
FREEHOLD,
NJ, October 1, 2026 …… UMH Properties, Inc. (NYSE: UMH; TASE: UMH), a real estate investment trust (REIT)
specializing in the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities, is providing
investors with the following update on our third quarter 2026 operating results:
| |
1. |
We
increased total rental and related income by 9.3% and same store rental and related income by 8.7% for October 2026 compared to October
2025. |
| |
|
|
| |
2. |
We
increased gross home sales income by 28% during the quarter compared to the same period last year, increasing sales from $10.0 million
to $12.8 million. |
| |
|
|
| |
3. |
During
the quarter, we rented 202 new rental homes. Net rental home occupancy increased by 72 units. UMH now owns approximately 11,400 rental
homes with an occupancy rate of 95%. |
| |
|
|
| |
4. |
Same
property occupancy increased 355 units from January 1st of this year and 418 units over last year. During the quarter,
occupancy increased by 69 units. Community occupancy was 88% and same property occupancy was 89%. |
Samuel
A. Landy, President and CEO of UMH Properties, Inc., stated “Our gross sales continue to grow and broke the quarterly sales record
set in the second quarter of this year. Sales for the quarter were $12.8 million as compared to $10.0 million last year representing
an increase of approximately 28%. Our sales pipeline remains strong and we anticipate this performance to continue into the fourth quarter.
On the rental front, we installed and rented 202 homes in the third quarter and we have installed and rented 560 homes so far this year.
These new rental homes have allowed us to increase occupancy and revenue while improving the overall quality of our communities. Our
rent collections remain in line with historical norms.
“Real
Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) were granted special tax treatment by Congress so that everyday people could pool money to create real
estate secured income. UMH has achieved that goal for 58 consecutive years. At this moment, we are especially excited about our opportunity
to grow income for our shareholders due to:
| |
1. |
The
Road to Housing Act creating: |
| |
a. |
Two
story homes. |
| |
b. |
Removal
of the chassis allowing us to set homes closer to the ground. |
| |
c. |
Encouraging
low dollar amount loans, including Title One 3% down payment loans. |
| |
2. |
Amendment
to the opportunity zone tax laws which will allow us to build and rehabilitate more communities with capital coming from a UMH OZ
Fund and management fee income coming to UMH, as the OZ Fund’s manager. This can convert community development and redevelopment
from short-term losses to short-term gains and become a long-term driver of fee income and ultimately enhance our acquisition pipeline. |
There
has never been a more exciting time to be in the business of operating manufactured housing communities, building and expanding communities,
selling manufactured homes, renting homes, brokering home sales, selling insurance and financing home sales. We look forward to reporting
our full third quarter results on November 2, 2026.”
It
should be noted that the financial information set forth above reflects our preliminary estimates with respect to such information, based
on information currently available to management, and may vary from our actual financial results as of and for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2026. UMH’s final third quarter
results will be released on Monday, November 2, 2026, after the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange and will be available
on the Company’s website at www.umh.reit, in the Financials section. Senior management will discuss the results, current
market conditions and future outlook on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
