In Memoriam: Doug Korey

In Memoriam: Doug Korey

We just heard the unfortunate news that our friend and colleague Doug Korey passed away last week. He had been battling cancer for a while but always put a brave face on his journey. We have known Doug since he got into the senior care industry more than 25 years ago. We served on panels with him and had many off-the-record conversations about some of the transactions he was working on. We even had to sub him on stage at the last minute at an NIC conference due to a scheduling mix up. It was our pleasure. We enjoyed his dry sense of humor, and we know that his friends and colleagues at LTC Properties will miss him dearly. Read More »

60 Seconds with Swett: An Update to Our Valuation Statistics

60 Seconds with Swett: An Update to Our Valuation Statistics

The deal dynamics of 2025 appear to have changed very little, with a majority of transactions featuring value-add properties, a slowly increasing share of stabilized, Class-A properties being sold, steady improvements to the capital markets and liquidity and cap rates that have moved only slightly downwards. Taking all of those factors into account, we would expect values, both apples to apples and on an average basis, to have risen in 2025, so far. We will be presenting our latest valuation statistics, derived from our proprietary LevinPro LTC data, in our August 28th webinar, titled A Mid-Year Valuation Stats Update, sponsored by HealthTrust.
