The Healthcare Real Estate Market Continues Adjusting.

Healthcare employment has rebounded noticeably better than the broader job market. Medical offices were much more insulated from the declines in demand compared to that of other property types. Healthcare employment fell as much as 6.4% in 2020, but stable growth is to be expected over the next 5 years. The continuing implementation of telehealth will lead to a greater role in the healthcare sector, but the overall impact on medical office buildings most likely remains negligible. Medical properties are expected to see a rebound in demand this year as the COVID-19 virus subsides. Medical office investors are expecting good growth opportunities due to the levels of transactions and pricing being more flexible than other property types.
