FAQ

Seller Questions About Michigan Senior Housing

Common questions from Michigan senior housing owners considering a sale.

How is my Michigan AFC or ALF valued?
+
Michigan senior housing assets typically trade at 7–10% cap rates. Ann Arbor and West Michigan premium communities trend toward 6.5–8%; Detroit Metro, Lansing, and rural Michigan trade at 8.5–11%. Haven provides free BOVs.
What is the difference between selling an AFC home vs. a Michigan ALF?
+
Michigan AFCs (up to 6 residents) and ALFs have distinct MDHHS licensing requirements, different buyer pools, and different valuation methodologies. Haven ensures sellers understand which track they're on and how it affects their sale.
How long does a Michigan senior housing sale take?
+
AFC COO takes 45–75 days; ALF COO takes 75–105 days. Total transaction time is typically 90–165 days from engagement to close.
Who buys Michigan senior housing communities?
+
Michigan attracts automotive-industry-retiree-focused operators, West Michigan healthcare networks, and national buyers. Haven's network spans all profiles.
Do I need to disclose my intent to sell to my staff?
+
No — and Haven specifically designs its process to prevent premature disclosure. We use NDA-gated marketing exclusively. Your staff, residents, and competitors are never informed of a potential sale until you choose to disclose — typically at or after closing. This protects your census, your staff stability, and your community's reputation throughout the process.
How does Haven ensure I get the best price for my Michigan community?
+
Haven combines accurate market pricing (based on current Michigan cap rates and comparable sales), strategic positioning (presenting your community's strengths to the right buyer profile), and competitive marketing (creating buyer competition where possible) to maximize your final sale price. We also advise on pre-sale operational improvements that can meaningfully increase proceeds before going to market.
