The Dow Jones Equity All REIT Index was up 9.9% for the first half of the year, compared with a 6% rise in the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock Index and 8.6% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, on a total return basis. The recent performance caps a two-year period in which REITs have been on a hot streak, returning nearly 30%.
The truth is that real estate has been outperforming the stock market since 1958. No kidding. I went back over 50 years and compared numbers and this is what I discovered. a very small percentage of companies did better over the last 50 year period. What more proof do you need???
