An owner of a new, well-occupied, profitable seniors housing property may look at the average price paid per unit of $208,200 for assisted and independent living communities in 2014 (according to the 2015 Senior Care Acquisition Report) and think it has no meaning to them and their above-average property. They may have a point, so we broke down the market by quartile and separated out the higher end of the market from the lower. Given the higher valuations and number of high-quality properties coming on the market, it should surprise no one that the upper quartile hit a new record with a price of $250,800 per unit (meaning that 25% of the properties sold in 2014 went for prices above this level). This is up $43,500 per unit from 2013’s upper quartile value, and up $79,000 from 2012, showing that today, buyers are willing to pay higher and higher prices to acquire those high-quality, stabilized properties.
