May’s M&A Deal Boom
Do buyer’s see a bottom? That is one explanation for the incredibly busy start to May, which has seen 21 acquisitions announced, so far, according to our M&A database DealSearchOnline. And that does not include deals that may bubble to the surface in the coming weeks. So, with seniors housing occupancy still relatively low and the labor supply and cost problem not diminishing, why are so many increasing their interests in the senior care market? Those problems may well be the answer, if buyers believe we are at an operational bottom for the industry.

Another Valuation Metric for the 2018 Seniors Housing M&A Market
In a year when both the assisted living and independent living average cap rates rose, how did the sectors’ average Gross Income Multiples (GIM) change year over year? Well, they accordingly fell off their 2017 levels, mirroring their changes in cap rate, according to The Seniors Housing Acquisition & Investment Report. The average independent living GIM fell to its lowest point in five years at 5.0x, while the assisted living GIM dropped 70 basis points to 3.2x, also a five-year low. The difference between the sectors can be explained by the higher risk of owning assisted living communities. The IL market, on the other hand, has seen far less new construction and more stable occupancy... Read More »Recent Senior Care M&A Deals, Week Ending May 10, 2019
