ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On March 25, 2024, Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), through a 95% owned joint venture entity of its operating partnership, Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, acquired a 294-unit residential community located in Houston, Texas known as Villas at Huffmeister for a total purchase price of approximately $41.2 million, inclusive of a $3.1 million fair value reduction related to assumed debt. The sale was based on arm's length negotiations with an unaffiliated seller. In evaluating Villas at Huffmeister as a potential investment, the Company considered a variety of factors, including overall valuation of net rental income, expected capital expenditures, submarket demographics, community features and amenities, location, price per unit, and occupancy.

Senior Loan Financing for the Acquisition of Villas at Huffmeister

The acquisition of Villas at Huffmeister was funded with approximately $18.1 million of cash funded by the Company, inclusive of certain adjustments typical in such real estate transactions, and a senior loan assumption in the principal amount of approximately $24.3 million (the "Villas Senior Loan"), inclusive of a fair value debt adjustment. The Villas Senior Loan is secured by Villas at Huffmeister and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.56%, with monthly payments of principal and interest based on thirty-year amortization; previously, monthly payments were interest-only through October 2024. The Villas Senior Loan matures on October 1, 2029 and can be prepaid, in whole, subject to a prepayment premium if prepayment occurs before June 29, 2029; if prepayment of the Villas Senior Loan occurs after such date, no prepayment penalty or premium is payable.
