Brad Clousing has sold a 120 Bed Skilled Nursing Facility in Jacksonville, FL for a local non-profit organization. This was the only skilled nursing asset owned and operated by the Archdiocese of St. Augustine. The facility, built 1992 and in good condition, was at 87% census with only 6% Medicare census. The Buyer is a Florida based owner/operator and this is their 10th location in Florida. The purchase price was $11,000,000. Senior Living Investment Brokerage was able to procure multiple offers on the property. For additional information, please contact Brad Clousing at [email protected] or 630/858-2501

What is the optimum and/or minimum size for a Seniors Housing Community sale?

When considering a sale, there is no minimum size for an assisted living facility (or independent living facility). Different room counts will attract different types of buyers. A REIT or large private equity company will not have an interest in a single, 16 unit assisted living facility. Likewise, a local nurse typically will not have the financial ability to buy a 100 unit assisted living facility.

As a company, we have found that most larger Buyers have a minimum threshold of 40 units for an assisted or independent living facility, with a preference of over 60 units. However, there are exceptions to every rule. If there are multiple smaller facilities (15-25) units on the same parcel, or nearby, often times larger Buyers are still interested. We have also had a lot of success selling smaller communities (25-30+ units) that are in favorable locations in larger cities, newer, and specialize in higher end private pay residents who prefer a smaller setting. Recently, we closed on a newer 25 unit assisted living community in the Portland area that sold for over $220,000/unit. It was 100% private pay with high occupancy and excellent quality finishes. Since there are so many variables that factor into a purchase decision by any Buyer, it is important to work with an expert in valuing and selling a senior living community to ensure the optimal pricing and terms.

For more information on what your senior living community could be worth, please contact Jason Punzel at [email protected] or 630-858-2501 x 233.

I’m often asked when is the best time of year to list a seniors housing or nursing home asset? We are all used to residential real estate agents telling us to list in the Spring while the weather is starting to change (at least for us Northerners).

Does it matter for seniors housing communities?

Yes and no. While there is not the seasonality in the seniors housing market as there is in the residential market, there are good and less optimal times for getting buyers’ (even institutional buyers’) attention.

I would argue that we are entering into one of those sweet spots as we get into the middle of September. Typically, Senior Living Investment Brokerage, Inc. has its highest volume of listings in September and early October.

Why is that?

During the Labor Day / beginning of October time frame, Buyers have made it through the Summer and are looking to deploy capital before the end of the year. They are hoping to make one last push to meet their aggressive beginning of the year expansion goals.

With a typical 3-4 month closing period, now is as good of a time as any to consider listing your property with Senior Living Investment Brokerage, Inc. We can help you procure the right Buyer, who can close the transaction prior to year-end. Many Buyers are looking to “get money out the door” by December 31st and this may give you an advantage in coercing those groups into making a more aggressive bid than they would in the middle of the year.

If you have any questions on the topic of this post or would like a confidential valuation of part or all of your seniors housing portfolio, please contact Matthew Alley at 630-858-2501 ext. 225 or [email protected].
