As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had commitments to acquire 203 and 12 single-family properties, respectively, with an aggregate purchase price of $41.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had sales in escrow for approximately 57 of our single-family properties for an aggregate selling price of $6.6 million.

We have a retirement savings plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Code whereby our employees may contribute a portion of their compensation to their respective retirement accounts in an amount not to exceed the maximum allowed under the Code. In addition to employee contributions, we have elected to provide company contributions (subject to statutory limitations), which amounted to approximately $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

We are involved in various legal and administrative proceedings that are incidental to our business. We believe these matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations upon resolution.
