Property Type Round-Up From REITWorld 2025
Published: February 02, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
REITs are positioned for robust growth in 2026, driven by decelerating supply, disciplined capital allocation, and significant valuation discounts to NAV and private markets. Sector preferences favor Healthcare and Data Centers for durable growth, with Shopping Centers and select Residential REITs offering underappreciated upside and private capital interest.

Powell Under Pressure
Published: January 19, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral
U.S. equity markets posted mixed performance this past week as investors weighed a resilient slate of economic data against renewed tensions between the White House and the Fed. Investor reaction was surprisingly muted to news that the DOJ opened an investigation into Fed Chair Powell, but markets did reflect increased odds that the FOMC opts to dig in its heels. Encouragingly, benign consumer inflation data kept the broader disinflation narrative intact, while signs of a recovery in the long-sluggish housing sector suggested that affordability dynamics are finally improving.

Published: January 07, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral
AvalonBay Communities remains a "Hold" as apartment REITs face persistent rent declines and weak demand, despite moderating supply. AVB's strong balance sheet and capital allocation, including $488 million in buybacks and property sales, underpin dividend stability and financial flexibility. Core FFO guidance for 2025 is $11.23–$11.28, with 2.5%–3.5% growth expected in 2026, below consensus due to muted demand recovery.

Everyone Hates REITs - A Contrarian Opportunity
Published: December 15, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative
REITs endured a brutal three-plus-year stretch since March 2022, underperforming the S&P 500 by an unprecedented 70 percentage points, far worse than the Global Financial Crisis. Extreme underperformance has left REITs historically cheap despite solid property-level fundamentals, but this valuation discount carries a cost: elevated capital costs, suppressed transaction activity, and limited external growth opportunities. Depressed public-market valuations have triggered a pronounced “REIT exodus,” with 40 REITs acquired, liquidated, or seeking sales since 2022, while new REIT formation has collapsed to a fraction of norms.

Can Landlords Survive Mamdani's Rent Freeze?
Published: July 03, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative
Broader adoption of rent control could significantly affect REITs by capping rent growth, disincentivizing maintenance capex, and reducing new development. The true impact of rent control on REIT performance is complex, with both positive and negative ripple effects, and cannot be easily predicted. I believe future apartment REIT returns will hinge more on company fundamentals and valuation than on political/regulatory environments.
