SNF Cap Rate Spreads

SNF Cap Rate Spreads

by | May 3, 2018 4:35 pm | Financings

For the first year since 2014, the average 10-year Treasury note rate rose in 2017, and the increase was a relatively sizable 50 basis points to 2.3%.

That sentiment may be changing, however. The spread between the 10-year Treasury note and the skilled nursing cap rate was 1,000 basis points in 2017 (according to the 23rd Edition of The Senior Care Acquisition Report) and has essentially been around 1,000 basis points or wider since 2009. This fact alone is part of the reason... Read More »
