Amid Surge, Real Estate Investors Win as Builders Lose

Dec. 23, 2014

According to Bloomberg, investors in a fund devoted to real estate investment trusts have racked up gains of 65 percent, while investors in homebuilder stocks still haven’t recovered from the U.S. housing crash.

“The gap will probably endure for years as U.S. job growth spurs demand for office, retail and apartment properties faster than Americans can buy new houses,” Bloomberg reports.
