SLIB Sells in NY and KY
Senior Living Investment Brokerage announced the closing of two separate seniors housing transactions in New York and Kentucky.

The industry seems to be on the brink of a breakout M&A period, which is an astonishing thing to say when we are already in the midst of a record-breaking period of transaction activity. The promise of an interest rate cut, even a 25-basis point cut, could usher a number of buyers off the sidelines, and if a few lower cap rate deals get announced, then a few more owners of high-quality communities could be tempted off the sidelines too. On our webinar last week covering the mid-year update of our M&A and valuation statistics, our panelists seemed to believe that a number of large deals were looming, which could help break the logjam of mostly small deals closing in the...
