REITs Fall Sharp Amid Doubts of Commercial Real Estate Recovery

Posted date: July 17, 2013 In: QuickPress, Valuation/Appraisal

REIT stocks fell sharply in the second quarter, ranging between 11 and 15 percent. Originally reported by the Wall Street Journal, the Dow Jones Equity All REIT index posted a 2 percent negative return in the second quarter. The index hasn’t reported a performance that weak since the third quarter of 2011.

Analysts are saying REITs took a dive because investors are nervous about rising interest rates stalling a potential recovery in the commercial real estate sector. Even so, they’re hopeful that REITs will make a comeback by the end of the year.
