The volume of home health sales in the first half of 2025 doesn’t match up with the demand seen in the market, according to Cory Mertz, managing partner at Mertz Taggart of Fort Myers, Fla.
Mertz Taggart’s latest analysis found seven deals in the second quarter of 2025, on par with the eight in the previous quarter.
A proposed rate cut of 6.4% for 2026 injects a level of uncertainty in the market until the final announcement in late October/early November, Mertz says in a recent blog post.
“Buyers are eager to deploy cash into quality, skilled home health assets, but are mandated to do it in a more strategic, disciplined manner than in years past,” Mertz says. “Quality assets that have gone to market recently have enjoyed strong valuations. We expect this to continue."
