Sector ReportReal EstateEquitiesReal Estate
Goldman Sachs remains bullish on the senior housing sector following a tour with Discovery Senior Living, specifically highlighting favorable supply-demand dynamics in secondary markets. This reinforces their Buy rating on National Healthcare Properties (NHP), which focuses on similar smaller-market assets.
Key Takeaways
- 1.Management is highly bullish on secondary and tertiary senior housing markets due to constrained supply and lower labor inflation (~1%).
- 2.Meaningful primary-market supply growth is now delayed until 2028, while secondary markets are insulated until at least 2029–30.
- 3.The bullish outlook for smaller markets directly supports a Buy rating for National Healthcare Properties (NHP).
