UNITED STATES SENIOR HOUSING INVESTMENTS
The senior housing sector has typically been recession-resilient, as the current demand is sustained by the increase in the aging population. This makes such investments highly sought after. Regardless of the condition of the economy, most seniors require support services as they age. Senior housing as an investment has outperformed all other real estate sectors for the past 15 years, generating significantly higher annualized returns than the broader real estate market during the same timeframe. The apparent resiliency of this sector, combined with the higher-than-average returns will make this an attractive investment for many years to come.
