Blueprint Reports Heavy July Volume

Blueprint Reports Heavy July Volume

July’s M&A results surprised us a bit, with a summer lull in activity perfectly understandable. Instead, dealmakers announced nearly 60 publicly announced transactions, good for fifth place in the all-time monthly record. For some perspective, last July we recorded 42 deals, and July 2022 saw 44 transactions announced, which is more typical of the slow summer months.  Some of the credit has to go to the many brokers working tirelessly to get deals across the finish line, often with many bumps along the way. Blueprint had a banner month, closing $310 million in seniors housing and care transaction volume across 10 transactions. The deals consisted of 22 total assets and around... Read More »
