60 Seconds with Swett: Values Soar Across All Sectors
We have been hard at work collecting and enriching our 2025 M&A data, and many listeners can attest to receiving a number of calls and emails from me over the last couple of months, and the result was the most deals we have ever compiled in any year, as well as the most property financials and cap rates. So a big thank you to all of our industry friends who helped in this effort. Prices soared in all sectors, and set a couple of records. The average price per unit for assisted living properties reached $268,600, more than $20,000 higher than the previous record set in 2019. The independent living sector also hit new heights, with an average price per unit of $263,600. Average... Read More »

We may sound like a broken record, but the M&A market keeps setting records and reaching new heights in the seniors housing and care industry. And it is smashing the previous records. In 2025, LevinPro LTC recorded 871 publicly announced transactions, which broke the previous annual record set in 2024 by 21%. Not only that, 2024’s total had beaten the previous annual record by 28.5%. So we have been on a proverbial rocket ship in the last two years. Much of the activity has centered around the seniors housing market, as despite intense buyer demand for skilled nursing facilities, there has been a relative dearth of facilities available for sale. Seniors housing deals, meanwhile, have... Read More »
60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Record M&A Year, Again
You may start to get tired of hearing us talk about all the records being set, but we will never tire of it. As of November 11, we have passed last year’s record of total acquisitions in the seniors housing and care sector, now standing at over 720 deals, according to LevinPro LTC. And we thought last year was an amazing year! The good news is that pricing has been relatively reasonable so far, mostly because of still-high interest rates and lenders not getting too aggressive. What we don’t know is how long this will last. “Stupid” money that has appeared in previous rising markets has not yet reared its ugly head, but that will probably change. Everyone is looking for a growing market,... Read More »
