Property values nationwide increased about 5.6 percent in March as measured by the FTSE NAREIT PureProperty Index Series.
Brad Case, NAREIT’s senior vice president for research and industry information, noted that March saw rebounds in property values and the total returns that REITs receive from ownership of their properties.
In the latest edition of Quick Study, Brad Case, NAREIT’s senior vice president for research and industry information, said confidence in the state of the economy and capital markets boosted the broader market, and REITs in particular, during March.
“It was the kind of month where equity investors in general did well in essentially all categories of the stock market,” Case said. “But, certainly you were better off if you were a REIT investor,” he added.
REITs posted a strong upswing in March, outpacing broader market gains as investor concerns about global macroeconomic issues eased during the month, according to market observers.
