You know we are in a strong seller’s market when even the non-stabilized properties are worth on average 68% more in 2014 than in 2013. After hovering around $85,000 per unit in 2012 and 2013, the average price paid for non-stabilized assisted living communities (which we define as having an occupancy lower than 85%) in 2014 was about $139,000 per unit, showing that buyers are worrying less about the potential of filling empty rooms. Maybe all this talk about demographics has convinced many buyers that seniors will be knocking on their door in just a matter of time.
