Seniors housing and long-term care M&A activity reached record levels in 2025. According to LevinPro LTC, publicly announced transactions totaled $30.5 billion, the highest annual volume recorded in the past decade. This surge was fueled by an improving capital markets environment, larger deal sizes, rising occupancy levels, higher-quality assets coming to market, and increased engagement from both buyers and sellers.
Senior Living Investment Brokerage (SLIB) mirrored this momentum, closing more than 95 transactions representing over $1.5 billion in total sales.
Looking ahead, market fundamentals remain constructive. While interest rates and capital costs continue to shape underwriting, sustained demographic tailwinds, improving operating performance, and growing investor confidence are expected to support continued transaction activity in 2026. Well-located, institutional quality assets, particularly those with operational upside are likely to attract strong buyer interest, while motivated sellers are increasingly finding viable paths to liquidity.
As activity continues into 2026, our team looks forward to connecting with industry partners at the Spring NIC Conference in Nashville on March 30–31 and April 1. We welcome the opportunity to meet, please reach out to schedule a conversation.
