The iShares US Real Estate ETF (IYR) and the Charles Schwab US REIT ETF (SCHH) came under pressure last week as concerns about real estate valuations and high-interest rates rose. IYR, SCHH, and VNQ, ETFs that track the industry have dropped in the past three straight weeks as outflows have risen.

Real estate focused ETFs have pulled back this year as investors wait for a wall of maturities in the coming years. The Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ), Schwab US REIT ETF (SCHH), and the SPDR Real Estate Select Sector fund (XLRE) have all pulled back by almost 7% from their highest point this year.

Self-Storage REITs delivered incredible growth early in the pandemic driven by surging housing market activity, but have been victims to their own success of late amid a supply-driven cooldown. Robust double-digit rent growth and relatively low operational barriers to entry prompted a wave of new development, with a roughly 12% expansion in total supply expected between 2022 and 2024. This supply boom - twice the magnitude of the multifamily sector - has reignited fierce "storage wars" between competing facilities, which has led to double-digit dips in new lease rates since mid-2022.

Storage REITs: Victims Of Own Success

Schwab's U.S. REIT ETF has demonstrated consistent performance, a low expense ratio, and relatively high dividend yield. Vanguard's Real Estate Index Fund has outperformed SCHH over the long term and has greater diversification. VNQ's holdings have advantages over SCHH, including lower weight on overvalued REITs and a top holding in Vanguard's institutional shares.

The history of construction spending since 1993 reveals that this data tends to weaken prior to recessions. For a recent dip in Residential Construction attributed to the rise in mortgage rates, this indicator is charging higher.

Construction Spending Rises

REITs have seen valuations compress on higher rates and FFO has been pressured on higher debt costs and lower occupancy. Consensus points to a 22% potential upside, suggesting analysts are factoring in a rate cut in YE24. I think SCHH is a speculative buy, as it requires a decline in Fed rates to regain valuation levels.

SCHH: Speculative Buy On Fed Pivot

The Schwab U.S. REIT ETF is a cost-effective option for gaining exposure to the U.S. real estate market. The ETF holds a diversified portfolio of approximately 124 holdings, with a high concentration in the top ten holdings. SCHH has underperformed compared to its peers and carries potential sector risks, making it a less desirable choice for risk-averse investors.

REITs are currently facing widespread dislike among investors. The negative sentiment towards REITs is due to the high-interest rates. I explain why I believe that most investors are misguided and highlight some opportunities to consider.

Urgent Warning To REIT Investors

Amidst the bearish sentiment towards real estate, a compelling opportunity to own REITs has emerged. The deeply discounted REIT market has largely priced in the challenges for real estate of higher rates and tighter credit markets. Areas of concern for real estate - office properties or too much leverage - are well-contained in public REIT markets. REITs generally possess high-quality balance sheets and have minimal exposure to traditional office space.

How To Avoid The Worst Sector ETFs 3Q23

Schwab U.S. REIT ETF is a popular REIT ETF with a focus on low-cost investing in U.S. equity REITs. It has a strong bias towards defensive sectors such as telco tower, industrial, multi-family residential, and data center REITs. SCHH has underperformed the S&P 500 and its comparable ETF, VNQ, due to the elevated exposure to interest rate risk and sector-skew facing challenges.

One of the hottest "inflation hedges" during the pandemic, land REITs have fallen out-of-favor as rising rates and normalizing supply chains have created disinflationary - and even deflationary - headwinds for commodities. While services sector inflation remains sticky, goods-related inflation has fallen dramatically over the past nine months, with some inflation reports now showing goods deflation levels typically seen only in recessions.

Wall Street is divided on the outlook for US house prices. Here's what 6 experts have recently said.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have become an increasingly popular investment option for those looking to diversify their portfolio and gain exposure to the U.S. real estate market. With the rise of real estate ETFs, investors now have more options than ever before to invest in REITs and gain exposure to the U.S.

A Comprehensive Comparison of Top U.S. Real Estate ETFs

In recent years, specialized technology-adjacent property types such as towers, data centers and industrial have gained prominence in the real estate market due to changes in consumer behavior, technological advancements, and their critical role in supporting the modern economy. The REIT universe looks much different today, appropriately reflecting the changes that are happening all around us. REITs are not just constrained to malls and offices; quite the contrary, the REIT sector is a dynamic one, with exposure to both secular growth dynamics and sources of bulwark stability.
