There are four new records in manufactured housing we will review in rapid succession.
Record # 1, YES! Communities has just hit their new record for number of communities and sites. This was accomplished via the major acquisitions they announced, linked above. Congratulations to all at YES! for their accomplishment.
As we have been saying of late, their big deal demonstrates that good business is getting done in manufactured housing. There is clearly a growing surge in new home shipments. With good used home inventory dwindling and MHC acquisitions growing, this will over time fuel still more shipments as filling those estimated 250,000 to 500,000 vacant home sites gets done.
Dig deeper into the facts like those in our Industry In Focus Reports, and more recent records are bound to follow.
Sam Landy's World
UMH closed on another property a few days ago, adding to the ever higher and longer run to some of their own records. As a reflection of the rising interest in MH, MHCs and UMH, our A Cup of Coffee with…Sam Landy interview is the run away number one read so far in April! For those who aren't reading this column, odds are good it is because they are reading our exclusive interview with Sam Landy.
As a player I shared the above fact with replied, "There is a lot of interest in MHCs today." News stories and interviews fuel that interest and benefits all involved.
ROC USA Converts Again
ROC USA has established yet another resident owned conversion, taking that organization to their own record. A source tell MHProNews that a pipeline of more ROC conversions are in the mix, so don't expect their organization to slow down any time soon.
Our Own Records
How many could honestly say that they have nearly doubled their performance in the last 10 months?
Manufactured housing professionals, investors and others researching our industry continue to vote us #1 with their browsers, smart phones and tablets as the top Industry News, Tips and Views Pros Can Use.
We had 1,314,259 pageviews here in March, amazing for a trade publisher in an industry of our size! In fact, we have nearly doubled our pageviews since May 2012, as the chart above reflects. This tells us you are finding the news stories, how to tips, ads, events and commentary that you seek right here.
As much as all of the above motivates us, we'd love to brag about some of the records that we can't publish (because client info is most often proprietary). For those looking to grow and hit your own records at retail MH sales centers, MH Communities or elsewhere, please take a good, close look at what is coming up fast and read between the lines!
Some of the organizations we are working with have experienced their own recent records at locations in their business to business (B2B) as well as their business to consumer (B2C) efforts. We are proud to be a part of the fuel for the Manufactured Housing Revolution.
Finally, we have hints from a reliable source on a subject that could be pretty darn important to our industry. As soon as it becomes official, count on us to bring it to you.
We hope that your reading, engagement and support here at MHProNews.com and our sister affiliates like MHC-MD.com and the consumer focused MHLivingNews.com (which is hitting its own records) will lead you to more records in your career or business in the near term too. Let's catch up again in the middle of next week. Keep reading and growing! ##
