Seniors Housing Industry Faces Predicament of Strong Demand, Limited Supply

by Kristin Harlow March 31, 2026

Supply and demand dynamics within the seniors housing sector are at a crossroads, according to the Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2026 report produced by PwC and the Urban Land Institute.

Investors are poised to achieve strong returns. The National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF), which tracks the performance of institutional-grade U.S. commercial real estate, reports that seniors housing strongly outperformed all other property sectors in 2025, …
