60 Seconds With Swett: Seniors Housing & Care Market Nears 500 Transactions for 2022
With one month to go until 2023, we are just a handful of deals away from breaking the 500-deal mark for 2022. You’ve heard us say before that the previous record for publicly announced deals was 456, set in 2019 when the biggest issues facing the senior care industry were overdevelopment and a potential PDPM-induced rate readjustment. So, for seniors housing and care buyers and sellers to come together on what we assume will be well more than 500 deals (more when you include the scores of deals confidentially disclosed to us) despite a lingering pandemic, a staffing crisis, inflation and rising interest rates throughout much of the year is impressive. Late last year, we did think there... Read More »Is The Public Option Passe?
Last month, we raised issues about Sonida Senior Living and its ability to survive through next year without additional capital. Its market cap is low ($86 million), its share price is falling as are its cash balances. G&A expenses have been way too high, but they are beginning to address that. Another company, AlerisLife, is facing similar problems, such as a small market cap ($25 million), a falling share price and G&A expense out of line with its operations ($17 million in the third quarter alone). One good thing going for the company is that it has $79.1 million of cash and just $67 million of long-term debt. And, quarter-end occupancy in the third quarter increased... Read More »

Active Adult Community Sells in New Jersey
JLL Capital Markets closed the sale of an active adult community in Englishtown, New Jersey (near Trenton). Built in 2008, Royal Pines at Marlboro comprises 89 units and sold for a purchase price of $29.9 million, or $336,000 per unit.
