Those established, or same-community, properties generated $26.4 million in revenue, down 0.6% from the third quarter of 2025. Their net operating income fell 4.5% to $13.7 million. BSR attributed the latter decline partly to reduced real estate tax refunds and higher overhead and administrative expenses; lower insurance costs provided a partial offset.
