Marcus & Millichap and CBRE Top Senior Care Broker Rankings

While it was not exactly a repeat of 2015, it came pretty close. This year we had only 13 brokerage companies reporting their numbers, with a few active brokers deciding to take a pass this year for a variety of reasons. But they would not have taken the top spots, so no worries on that account. Based on the number of transactions closed in 2016, Marcus & Millichap came out on top for the second year in a row with 58 separate sales in the seniors housing and care market. This was down a bit from the 64 sales in 2015, but the entire market had a mild slowdown. Taking the number two spot for the second year in a row was Senior Living Investment Brokerage with 48 sales, also down from... Read More »

Though the purchase price was undisclosed, we hear it sold for one of the highest prices per bed for a single-facility in Pennsylvania. Built in 1980 on just under six acres, the property was very well maintained and featured seven private rooms, 51 semi-private rooms and 24 three-bed wards. And in addition to a 96% occupancy, it also had strong cash flow. That operational success, combined with amenities like a business office, conference room, country... Read More »
