| And the new home sales is really just moderating back to pre-COVID levels, but very strong demand, especially in our key markets |
| So that's a positive for us |
| We have had continued success in the quarter selling new homes |
| Our team has done an exceptional job of selling available inventory and we are currently at near record low levels of rental homes in our portfolio |
| These broader national housing trends have enhanced the appeal of our communities for prospective homeowners |
| These, and many other innovations, enable the day-to-day decision-making that generates impressive results quarter after quarter as we continue to focus on our strategic objectives |
| The quality of our revenue streams and the strength of our balance sheet continue to allow us to report impressive results |
| So, we see strong demand |
| Marguerite Nader I think what we've seen is the demand is so strong for people to come to Florida and experience the affordable lifestyle that we have and to get out of the Northeast, to get out of the Midwest |
| So, we feel pretty confident that it's a good value proposition and that those rents will come through |
| I think that we still see very strong demand for our Camping Pass product |
| Given this demand, we have an opportunity to continue to grow MH occupancy, including through our development program |
| We think the MH business is great for a lot of reasons and it's unique because of the fact that there's really no new supply |
| So, as I just mentioned, we've had good claim experience so far this year, but we still have more months to go before the renewal |
| Portfolio-wide for MH, over the last three years, we've sold 2,600 new homes, enhancing quality of occupancy by meeting important demand from homebuyers |
| And for 2024, I think that we'll see a return to our kind of historical business, which is primarily the fourth and first quarters for the seasonal business, with strong demand leading into 2024 |
| As Marguerite touched on, we compare very favorably just with respect to the all-in cost and the value that a resident moving to one of our communities gets in our locations |
| Together, they represent more than 80% of our portfolio revenue as well as the highest quality durable revenue streams at ELS |
| Consistently through the years, the MH portfolio has been the key driver of our business, with a trend of high-quality occupancy achieved by increasing homeowners |
| The campaign recorded 32 million impressions, the highest we have ever experienced, across social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook |
| Our balance sheet is extremely well positioned with a debt maturity schedule that shows approximately 11% of our outstanding debt matures over the next three years, and around 23% of our outstanding total debt matures over the next five years |
| High-quality, age-qualified MH will command best financing terms |
| That's been evidenced from really record new home sales, which are moderating |
| Over the last three years, we have sold more than 1,400 new homes in Florida, indicating consistent demand |
| The impact of Hurricane Ian in Q4 of '22, really what we're seeing in '23 is the benefit of the occupancy that we gained following the loss in the fourth quarter of last year |
| Our two largest expense line items, utility and payroll, were favorable to our forecast for the third quarter and increased 1.2% over prior year on a combined basis |
| Our year-to-date core property operating revenue growth of 5.4% and core property operating expense growth of 6.5% contributed to an increase in core NOI before property management of 4.5% |
| For the marina portfolio, we have continued to maintain occupancy of 90% and boat launches have been consistent year-over-year, evidencing consistent demand from our long-term marina customers |
| Coming out of the summer season, we continue to see consistent demand from RVers, especially our core annual guests |
| Over the years, we've implemented process improvements focused on automation and reporting enhancements that include historical weather data, employee staffing trends, and publicly available market-driven housing data |

| I noticed that the TTC sales is down 10% this year, and TTC membership is also down again this quarter |
| The midpoints of our guidance assumptions for combined seasonal and transient show a decline of 4.9% in the fourth quarter and a decline of 4.8% for the full year compared to the respective periods last year |
| Today's national headlines highlight that home buyers are grappling with housing affordability driven by a lack of affordable homes and rising mortgage rates |
| And then, we've also seen a decline due to reduced transient activity at the property level |
| Membership upgrade sales volume in the third quarter was slightly lower than last year, while the average sale price increased approximately 12% |
| I mean, it's a little bit challenging because we do have properties that'll switch from non-core into core next year |
| Core seasonal and transient revenue for the quarter was impacted by an increase in annual site usage, reducing site availability, and weather-related property disruption |
| I guess, first, your MH occupancy is down 30 basis points year-over-year in the core portfolio |
| So, if there's not a lot of people coming through, you just see a reduction in sales |
| Core seasonal and transient rent combined decreased approximately 4.8% in the year-to-date period compared to prior year |
| I think it's about a 10% decline in activations which means it's coming from the point of sale at the RV dealer |
| But yes, it was an extremely challenging year in 2023 |
| Utility expense favorability was mainly the result of relatively cool and wet conditions across the Midwest and Northeast in August and September |
| Hey, Paul or Marguerite, when I look at seasonal, sort of that seasonal/transient business, you do the math, it's down about 6% for the year now |
| Payroll expense in the third quarter was 1.7% lower than the same period in 2022 |
| We've seen a reduction in RV dealer activations |
| Core seasonal rent increased 5.5% year-to-date, offsetting some of the transient decline we've experienced as a result of challenging weather patterns and site usage increasing for longer-term stays |
| I think the queries in the existing home sales or the lack thereof, but I'm curious if there's something else that you're seeing, because it is interesting to see the used home sales seem to be kind of leveling out as opposed to new home sales declining |
| That moderated further in the third quarter |
| Keegan Carl And then shifting gears to home sales, obviously it's slowing down |
