This is H2C’s first quarterly medical office building (“MOB”) report since the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic played out through an entire quarter of activity. Notably, H2C had one of its most active quarters in advising health systems in their monetization and disposition efforts, with over $200 million in transaction volume advised.
While COVID-19 has had a dramatic impact on other asset classes, such as senior housing and retail, where values are purported to be down 20-25 percent since March 2020, the MOB sector has shown resilience in values through the quarter, with average cap rates nearly flat at 6.62 percent and average price per square foot growing to $290. MOB sales volume in the second quarter totaled $2.3 billion, the lowest second-quarter volume seen since Q2 2014; however, pricing and cap rates held firm. Also noteworthy is that first-half MOB sales volume is only down 3 percent from 2018 and 2019, thanks to a robust Q1.
Cap rates are nearly flat and values have held as demand
continues outpacing supply in desirable MOB asset class.
