They have been the lump of coal in the Trump rally’s equity gift bag: real estate investment trusts. Investors, however, may be missing out on a good buy, especially in one fast-growing REIT sector: warehouses. These nondescript buildings may be the least sexy sector in real estate, but demand for them is outstripping supply, and rents are rising fast, all thanks to the stunning growth of e-commerce. Still, investors have been leery lately of even this REIT sector, as they shy away from commercial real estate stocks in general. REIT stocks have lagged other sectors despite solid fundamentals in the…
Call it the Trump rally in homebuilding — not the stocks, but the sentiment of the builders themselves. A monthly reading of homebuilder confidence spiked 7 points in December, its first measure done after the presidential election. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) rose to 70, the highest level since July 2005. Fifty is the line between positive and negative sentiment. The index has not jumped by this much in one month in 20 years. It stood at 60 one year ago. Getty Images A worker carries lumber as he builds a new home in…
At face value the numbers make no sense. A monthly survey of homebuilder confidence in December released Thursday from the National Association of Home Builders spikes to the highest level in 11 years. The one-month move, entirely attributed to Trumponomics euphoria by NAHB executives, was the biggest in 20 years. One day later, the monthly numbers on home construction are released by the U.S. Census, and they tank 19 percent. So builders are super happy, but they’re not building more homes. There are several reasons why these numbers diverge. They actually used to track very closely, but right around the…
Mortgage rates have been heading higher since the presidential election, and they are already pricing some buyers out of the housing market. There is a way to get some of those buyers back in, if they are willing to take a little risk. The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed is at its highest in two years, but other mortgage options offer lower rates, namely, adjustable rate mortgages. These so-called ARMs still carry the stigma of being the villains of the housing crash. Lenders offered all kinds of “creative” ARMs then, some with no down payments, crazy-low teaser rates,…
