NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Aug 1, 2012) - High Yielding REITs have benefited from the steady recovery of the U.S. housing market in 2012. The Vanguard REIT ETF -- which tracks the performance of an index that measures the performance of publicly traded equity REITs -- is up over 15 percent for the year, outperforming the Dow Jones Industrial by a large margin.

A recent Associated Press article stated that through June of this year real estate funds have gained $2.9 billion in new cash from investors, while a majority of other stock fund groups have seen investors pull out. The recent strength of REITs combined with their high yields have made them attractive targets for investors as interests rates and bond yields are near record lows.
Positive data supporting the U.S. housing market's recovery continues to roll in. Data from FHFA showed that U.S. home prices rose for the fourth consecutive month with a 0.8 percent increase in May. Real-estate firm Zillow also recently put out a report showing home prices in the second quarter increased from the year-ago period for the first time in five years. "Home prices are turning upward, another clear indication that housing market is in the midst of a growing comeback," wrote Joel Naroff, president and chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors.
