Q3 2025
Oct 31, 2025
AvalonBay Communities reported Q3 2025 results that fell short of projections, with a core FFO per share guidance lowered to $11.25, amid softening apartment demand and higher operating expenses.
Key takeaways
- Q3 core FFO was $0.05 below guidance, primarily due to weaker same-store portfolio performance and elevated operating costs.

- AvalonBay is actively managing a $3 billion project pipeline aimed at long-term value creation, benefiting from lower construction costs.
- The company has a robust balance sheet with $3 billion in liquidity, enabling continued strategic investments and share buybacks.
- Updated full-year guidance reflects a modest 2.2% growth in earnings due to revised revenue and expense projections.
