StockCall.com Provides Stock Research on NorthStar Realty Finance Corp., Senior Housing Properties Trust, Ventas Inc., and Corporate Office Properties Trust
New York City, New York -- (May 23, 2013)
The U.S. housing market has continued to recover, driven by record low mortgage rates and pent-up demand. The recovery has benefited the residential REIT sector in the U.S. On the other hand, the recovery in the commercial real estate market has been inconsistent. However, a pick-up in economic activity is likely to boost rents and occupancy rates. This will benefit the U.S. REITs focusing on retail, office and healthcare facilities. On Wednesday, May 22, 2013, the U.S. REIT sector fell as the broad market tumbled following the release of minutes of Federal Reserve’s most recent FOMC. The major movers in the sector included Northstar Realty Finance Corp. (NYSE:NRF - News), Senior Housing Properties Trust (NYSE:SNH - News), Ventas Inc. (NYSE:VTR - News), and Corporate Office Properties Trust (NYSE:OFC - News).
