The report attributes the trend, in part, to the fact that healthcare real estate “held up well during the downturn,” according to the report.

“Since 2007, healthcare real estate investment trusts have outperformed all other property types except for manufactured homes and self-storage facilities,” the report reads, citing the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.

Additionally, investors anticipate the number of newly insured individuals under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will mean “millions more visits to physicians by (these) patients,” according to the report.
