After peaking at a high of $14.09 trillion, senior-held home equity displayed a decline with a 0.3% drop in Q3 and an additional 1% in Q4.

Over the past two decades, the number of senior households considered severely cost burdened has nearly doubled, rising from 5.2 million to nearly 11.7 million.

"With an aging population, senior housing has a clear long run structural demand driver pointing to further growth in the sector. Our analysis shows rent prospects appear strong on the back of undersupply and solid wage growth," Pattison wrote. "That makes senior housing a compelling option for investors looking to break away from traditional property investment."
