3 Solid REIT Funds to Buy Now

REIT funds are having an outstanding year but the real estate sector just became a more compelling consideration for buying new shares or adding a new REITs position to your portfolio now. Just this week, the National Association of Realtors announced a significant decline in first-time home buyers. The NAR survey reported that the share of first-time buyers fell to “its lowest point in nearly three decades.”

Of course, this environment doesn’t automatically point to buying REIT funds now but these numbers may at least extend the 2014 price gains for the sector in the near term. Also, if you are looking for decent yields in this near-zero bond yield environment, REIT funds can play that role as well. Here are some top REIT funds to consider buying now: iShares Cohen & Steers REIT (ICF), T. Rowe Price Real Estate (TRREX) and PIMCO Real Return Strategy D (PETDX).
