by Jeff Shaw
ATLANTA — The seniors housing industry is undoubtedly in a seller’s market right now, with record-high sales prices and record-low capitalization rates. How, then, do investors find properties worth buying in such a hot market? Industry experts discussed this topic at a panel entitled “Investment Market Update: Who’s Buying, Who’s Selling & Will Velocity Keep Going Up and Cap Rates Keep Going Down?” at the recent InterFace Seniors Housing Southeast conference in Atlanta.
Based on the latest data of U.S. property and portfolio sales in seniors housing, 2015 is shaping up to be another strong year on the transactions front. According to Real Capital Analytics, deal volume year to date through August was up 32 percent compared with the same period in 2014, which also was considered a banner year.
