After strong gains in January and February, the REIT sector plunged 7.52% in March, dragging its year-to-date return into negative territory at -2.22%. Most REIT property types suffered losses, with Land and Office sectors falling over 14%, while Single Family Housing was the only sector to post gains. Large cap REITs traded at a significant premium to small caps, and the average discount to net asset value widened sharply. Elevated merger and acquisition activity and rising short interest suggest continued volatility and potential opportunities for investors in discounted REITs.
