REITs are stewards of long-term investments in real assets and have a long history of owning and developing sustainable, resilient, and efficient real estate.
Most REITs operate as equity REITs, providing investors with the opportunity to invest in portfolios of income-producing real estate. These companies own properties in a range of real estate sectors that are leased to tenants, such as office buildings, shopping centers, apartment complexes and more. They are required to distribute a minimum of 90% of their income to shareholders in the form of dividends.
I think it’s very difficult to make any thoughtful (let alone empirically based) case for predicting that the current real estate market cycle is nearing its end. The evidence simply isn’t there.
The current bull market for exchange-listed equity REITs has rewarded investors with returns averaging more than 21% per year over the past 8½ years—but by the standards of previous real estate market cycles this one has not even hit its stride yet.

There’s a persistent, predictable relationship between the liquid and illiquid real estate markets: private-side real estate valuations respond more slowly to changes in market conditions than do public-side valuations, so the values in private, illiquid markets typically lag public market values by two to five quarters on average, depending on whether participants in private markets are evaluating market conditions by looking at completed transactions or at property appraisals. Correcting for that lag can give you a pretty good sense of whether a public/private arbitrage opportunity has arisen.
