REIT stocks continued to gain during August, 2010, while modest dividend increases were announced by more REITs, a trend towards renewed dividend growth that should continue.
Office REITs, Industrial REITs, Retail REITs and Specialty REITs have yields clustered in a range of 4.0%-5.0%, while stock price momentum for Residential REITs put yields below 4.00%. Health Care REITs now offer yields of 5.5%. Hotel REITs remain the lowest yielding sector (less than 2.0%, due to dividend suspension by almost all Hotel REITs). Financial REITs still offer income investors the highest yield, at more than 7.0% on average.
Variability in yield for each sector is greater than shown here. Average yield for all REITs as of August, 2010 is 4.62%.
