Dear Kate,
As we open the book on 2026, we wanted to reflect on the past year and share our perspective on where the mobile home and RV park market is headed.
Despite uncertainty around interest rates and legislation, 2025 delivered genuine bright spots. Transaction activity continued its recovery, buyers showed renewed confidence, and parks
across the spectrum found interested buyers. With the right positioning and disciplined marketing, deals got done—and we were grateful to help clients on both sides of the table.
Maintaining a presence in five states (WA, OR, CA, ID, and NV) gives us a front-row seat to how the West is trending. Thank you for trusting us this year—whether you were selling, acquiring,
or just comparing notes. Below, we break down what 2025 taught us and what we see coming in 2026.
Transaction Activity: A Gradual Recovery
After reaching a low point in 2023 as the market paused to digest rapid interest-rate increases, sales volume continued its recovery in 2025, increasing year over year by 29%.

RV Occupancy Trends: A Bright Spot in the Pacific Northwest
While overall RV park occupancy across the U.S. continued to soften from COVID-era highs, in 2025, the Pacific Northwest stood out as the only region to experience modest occupancy growth.
For RV park owners and investors, this trend reinforces what we’re seeing on the ground: well-located West Coast RV parks continue to perform, even as national averages tell a more
mixed story.
One of the most notable shifts in 2025 was the sharp decline in the gap between asking prices and sale prices. Buyers showed an increased willingness to stretch to meet well-supported
pricing, while sellers continued to recalibrate expectations to the new market reality. The result was a healthier market dynamic—and a more active sales environment.

While the data in this year's report focuses on our higher-volume coastal markets, the core strategies we use to drive value are just as vital for our clients navigating the park investment
landscapes from Boise to Las Vegas.
