FAQ

Seller Questions About Washington Senior Housing

Common questions from Washington senior housing owners considering a sale.

How is my Washington state senior housing community valued?
+
Washington AFH/ALF assets typically trade at 5–7% cap rates. Eastside/Bellevue and North Sound premium communities compress to 4.5–6.5%; Spokane, Eastern Washington, and value-add assets trade at 7–9%. Haven provides free BOVs.
What is the AFH vs. ALF distinction in Washington?
+
Washington licenses Adult Family Homes (AFHs, up to 6 residents) and Assisted Living Facilities (larger communities) under DSHS. The tracks have different requirements, buyer pools, and valuation methodologies. Haven ensures sellers understand their classification.
How long does a Washington state sale take?
+
DSHS COO takes 75–105 days. Total transaction time is typically 120–180 days from engagement to close.
Who buys Washington state senior housing?
+
Washington attracts California-origin operators, Eastside tech-economy investors, and national institutional 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 Washington community?
+
Haven combines accurate market pricing (based on current Washington 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.
