When Will Medical Office Building Sales Bounce Back?

On the surface, the current state of the medical office building (MOB) investment market is about as slow as it’s been for years, maybe decades.

However, as is typically the case with a complex, robust industry like HRE, there is much more going on than meets the eye.

“The first half of the year volume was down … anywhere from 66 to 71 percent versus the first half of 2022,” said Andy Dow, an attorney with a focus on healthcare real estate (HRE) and the chair of the Real Estate Industry Group with Dallas-based Winstead PC. “The (second quarter) volume was roughly $1.2 billion, which was the lowest quarterly volume ever recorded by RevistaMed (an HRE data and research firm) since it was founded in 2015.”

So when will it bounce back?  Probably not before the elections of 2024, according to the InterFace Healthcare Real Estate panel.

Demand For Healthcare Real Estate Investment Trusts To Get Boost

U.S. healthcare real estate investment trusts recorded solid performance in the second quarter, with average funds from operations and same-store net operating income up 20.3% and 8.1%, respectively, year over year, according to a new report from Nareit.

Nareit is the US-based trade association for REITs and publicly traded real estate companies.

The sector is expected to continue performing well due to demand tailwinds such as the aging population in the country. In just over a decade, for the first time in U.S.history, people aged at least 65 years are expected to outnumber those under the age of 18, according to U.S. Census Bureau projections.

Healthcare REITs, which own senior living communities, hospitals, medical office buildings and skilled nursing facilities, comprise 8% of equity market capitalization as of the end of August.

The sector’s share in the FTSE Nareit All Equity REIT Index stood at 4.5%, surpassing the office sector’s share, the report said.
