The 2026 Case for Buying

Why Sophisticated Buyers
Are Moving Now

Senior housing enters 2026 in the strongest fundamental position in over a decade. National occupancy has recovered to 88.1% — matching pre-pandemic highs — while new construction remains at decade-low levels. The demographic wave driving demand is just beginning: the 80+ population will grow 48% between 2025 and 2030.

For buyers, this creates a compelling window: stabilized assets are generating strong cash flows and attracting competitive bids, while value-add and distressed opportunities remain available for buyers with capital, operations experience, and patience. Those who move in 2026 are buying ahead of the demographic acceleration that will dominate the decade.

Haven's buy-side team works with buyers across every segment — from first-time operators acquiring their first commercial assisted living community (16+ beds) to family offices and institutional platforms building multi-state portfolios. Haven represents buyers of commercial properties only — not residential homes or facilities under 16 beds.

Occupancy at Pre-Pandemic Highs
88.1% national occupancy in Q2 2025 — stabilized assets are performing. Strong cash flow from day one for qualified acquisitions
Construction at a Decade Low
New supply under 2% annually — well below the 4–5% needed to meet demand. Supply constraint protects incumbents and supports valuations
Demographic Acceleration
The 80+ population grows 48% through 2030. Demand is structural, needs-based, and recession-resistant — not discretionary
Improved Financing Conditions
GSEs re-entered the market in 2025 with reduced spreads. HUD streamlined approvals. Bridge lenders are active. Capital availability is the best since 2019
Value-Add Opportunities Remain
Not every community is performing at its potential. Distressed and value-add deals are priced on current — not potential — NOI, creating meaningful upside for capable operators
Who Haven Serves

Haven Works With Every
Type of Buyer

Whether you're acquiring your first community or building a multi-state portfolio, Haven's buy-side process is tailored to your profile, criteria, and timeline.

First-Time Buyer / Owner-Operator
Entry Level

Individuals and couples purchasing their first commercial assisted living community of 16 beds or more. Haven works with first-time buyers pursuing licensed, commercial ALF facilities — not residential homes or board and care properties under 16 beds.

Typically 16–50 bed communities
SBA 7(a) or 504 financing common
Owner-operator model — you run the community
Haven helps with feasibility, due diligence, and financing
Experienced Regional Operator
Growth Acquisition

Established operators expanding their portfolio — adding communities in existing markets or entering new states. Focused on census, CHOW timelines, and integration efficiency alongside deal economics.

Existing portfolio of 1–10+ communities
Focused on operational leverage and geographic expansion
Conventional, bridge, or HUD financing
Haven sources both on and off-market opportunities
Investor / Non-Operator Buyer
Investment Focus

Investors acquiring senior housing as a real estate investment — typically pairing with an experienced operating partner or management company. Focused on cash-on-cash returns, cap rates, and value creation.

Requires experienced operator or management company
Targets stabilized assets with predictable cash flow
Value-add plays for higher return potential
Haven helps identify operators and structure deals
Family Office & Private Equity
Institutional

Family offices and private equity firms allocating to senior housing for its demographic tailwinds, cash flow characteristics, and low correlation to traditional CRE. Often acquiring portfolios or targeting specific asset classes.

Portfolio acquisitions and single-asset deals
Specific asset type and market criteria
Joint venture and preferred equity structures
Haven provides off-market sourcing and deal analysis
Developer / Builder
Development

Developers pursuing ground-up construction or major repositioning of existing facilities. Haven supports with market feasibility, site identification, financing, and post-stabilization disposition planning.

Ground-up AL, MC, IL development
Conversion and substantial rehabilitation
HUD 232 or construction bridge financing
Market feasibility and location analysis available
Turnaround / Value-Add Buyer
Value-Add

Experienced operators and investors targeting distressed, underperforming, or mismanaged communities — buying at a discount to potential value and driving operational improvement to create equity. High risk, high reward.

Sub-75% occupancy or operational challenges
Priced below stabilized value — buying the gap
Bridge financing typical during turnaround phase
Requires deep operations experience
Buy-Side Advisory

What Haven Provides
to Buyers

Most senior housing brokers represent sellers. Haven works both sides — and our buy-side advisory is a genuine service, not just a buyer registration list. We actively match registered buyers to opportunities that fit their criteria, including deals that never reach the open market.

When you register as a buyer with Haven, you gain access to our full network: on-market inventory, off-market and pocket listings, seller relationships, and a team that knows both the buyer's and seller's perspective on every transaction.

Register as a Buyer
Exclusive Off-Market Listings
Many sellers choose confidential, off-market processes to protect staff and residents. Registered Haven buyers get early and exclusive access to these opportunities before they reach the broader market
Market & Feasibility Analysis
We help buyers evaluate target markets before committing — analyzing local occupancy, competitive supply, demographics, and payor mix to validate or challenge investment theses
Due Diligence Support
We support buyers through due diligence — helping interpret financials, assess operational quality, navigate state licensing and CHOW requirements, and identify risks before closing
Capital & Financing Connections
As a capital broker, Haven connects buyers to the right lenders — SBA 504/7(a), HUD 232, bridge, conventional, and preferred equity — for their specific deal structure and timeline
Transaction Management
We stay engaged through LOI, purchase agreement, due diligence, CHOW, and closing — ensuring the transaction moves efficiently and issues are resolved before they become deal-killers

Asset Types

Senior Housing Asset Types
Available Through Haven

Haven represents buyers of commercial senior housing properties — assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, and CCRC campuses. Haven does not represent buyers of residential homes or communities under 16 beds.

Assisted Living
Assisted Living Facilities

The largest segment of Haven's inventory. Communities providing personal care, medication management, and daily living support to residents who need assistance but not skilled nursing level care.

16 beds to 200+ beds available
Private-pay and mixed payor
SBA, conventional, HUD, bridge financing
Memory Care
Memory Care Communities

Specialized communities serving residents with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other cognitive impairments. Secured environments, structured programming, and specially trained staff. Command premium per-unit values.

Typically 16–120 beds
Primarily private-pay
Higher revenue per bed than standard AL
Independent Living
Independent Living Communities

Age-restricted communities for active adults who don't need personal care services — but want community, amenities, and freedom from home maintenance. Lower regulatory burden, amenity-driven value proposition.

50–500+ units
Lower cap rates than AL (higher prices)
GSE (Fannie/Freddie) financing common
Skilled Nursing
Skilled Nursing Facilities

Long-term and post-acute care communities providing 24-hour nursing supervision, rehabilitation services, and complex medical care. Higher regulatory complexity and Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement exposure.

Higher cap rates (7–13%+) reflect risk premium
Medicaid/Medicare dominant payor mix
Experienced operators required
CCRC / Life Plan Community
CCRCs & Life Plan Communities

Campuses offering a continuum of care — independent living, assisted living, memory care, and often skilled nursing — under one ownership. Complex structures with entrance fee accounting and actuarial risk, but diversified revenue streams, strong resident loyalty, and significant barriers to competitive entry.

Large campus communities — 100 to 800+ units
Complex entrance fee and monthly fee structures
Institutional and family office buyers predominate
GSE, HUD, and life company financing available
