"It's a familiar story. Like everything else having to do with property, real-estate investment trusts have been on fire. Even with an early-year pause, the stocks are up 20% a year over the past five years.
Despite those gains, the REITs should continue to climb, so long as interest rates stay low. And the best-informed buyers -- industry insiders -- don't appear to think the shares are too pricey. Twice in the last week, major real-estate investment trusts have been taken over or taken private, each time at a premium to market prices."
What are your thoughts? Is there a real estate bubble? Some markets would seem to be overheated, yet the population is increasing, people are buying, the demand would seem to be there. It scares me to hear some "industry experts" say that the real estate markets are going to keep going indefinitely. Yet I don't see the end anytime soon. What do you see happening in your market?
