The SLIB Team Sells AL/MC in Oregon

The SLIB Team Sells AL/MC in Oregon

There has been a lot of talk about pricing, both during the pandemic and as we are coming out of it. Is it a buyer’s market, or a seller’s market? Should you be conservative, or aggressive and take advantage of the current positive momentum? How about being just right?  In a transaction that just closed on June 1, Jason Punzel, Vince Viverito and Brad Goodsell of Senior Living Investment Brokerage represented the regional owner/operator of a 95-unit assisted living and memory care community located in Oregon. Built in 1997 with a renovation in 2015, it is licensed for 107 beds and has an occupancy rate of 92%. Yes, through the pandemic they mostly kept COVID out and the... Read More »
California Dreamin’

California Dreamin’

In a different sort of transaction than Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s recent Oregon deal, the team of Brad Goodsell, Jason Punzel and Vince Viverito handled the sale of a value-add property in California. Located about 12 miles southeast of Los Angeles, this 77-unit assisted living and memory care community was built in 1984 with a renovation in 2017. Occupancy was closer to where the rest of the industry has been near the end of the pandemic at 76%.  A local owner/operator paid $7.7 million, or an even $100,000 per unit (certainly makes the math easy), with an in-place cap rate of about 7.7%. With the low occupancy, the operating margin is just under 19%, which certainly... Read More »

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Handles Active Adult Deal

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Handles Active Adult Deal

Their ears must have been burning, because after we discussed the rise in M&A activity in the active adult/55+ market, Matthew Alley and Bradley Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage announced the sale of an 81-unit community in Granbury, Texas. Developed in stages from 2018 to 2020 by a local mom & pop, it was already fully occupied with a wait list by the end of 2020. Talk about strong demand! It helps that the community is located near Lake Granbury and the lakefront activities there, along with many restaurants and shopping downtown.  We’ve talked about the strong operating margins that active adult can offer, and indeed, this community brought in $950,000 of EBITDAR...
