Description: ELME Elme Communities November 12, 2025

Elme Communities (NYSE: ELME) is a multifamily REIT focused on the mid-income renter segment, operating roughly 9,400 apartment units across the Washington, DC and Atlanta metros, plus about 300,000 sq ft of commercial space. The company emphasizes higher-quality assets, superior service, and an enhanced living experience for tenants.

Key market metrics that shape ELME’s outlook include: (1) an average occupancy of ~96% in its core markets, reflecting strong demand for mid-tier rentals; (2) annual rent growth of roughly 4%-5% year-over-year, outpacing national inflation and driven by limited supply in the DC-Atlanta corridors; and (3) a regional cap-rate compression trend, with multifamily yields hovering near 4.5% in DC and 5.0% in Atlanta, indicating investor confidence despite a modest rise in short-term interest rates.
