How to Determine the Value of An Assisted Living Facility

Before selling an assisted living facility, it’s important to understand the value of your facility, the market, and what potential buyers are likely to pay. As a general rule of thumb, the more services you can offer, the better. So, when thinking about whether now is the time to sell your property, a great place to start is by considering the following questions to help determine the value:

What growth trends are impacting the market?
How was your sales volume last year?
What was your profit?
What are some of the new factors driving sales and supporting business growth?
What does the market look like in your area?
What is your position in the market?

When a potential buyer starts thinking about purchasing an assisted living facility or other senior living community, they will likely start by determining what the rate of return on their investment will be. To show prospective buyers that your facility is a good investment and the risk is low, it will be important to present the key performance indicators and any other factors that will help them understand the potential profit and sales. This can be challenging, which is where one of our experienced brokers will come in. Once you have a better idea of the value of your facility and an understanding of what buyers are likely to pay, it will be much easier to move forward with the sale.

The number of Americans over the age of 65 is expected to reach 95 million by 2060, which is near twice the 52 million there were in 2018. With this in mind, senior housing investment opportunities will undoubtedly continue to grow and evolve along with the population.
