According to The Wall Street Journal and Citigroup Global Markets, So far this year, investors have poured roughly $6 billion into publicly traded funds of U.S. real-estate investment trusts, or REITs, which mostly buy commercial properties like apartment buildings, office parks and shopping malls. That is up 18% from all of 2010 and 400% from 2009, and a pace unseen since before the financial crisis. Given investors appetite for income, this is not a surprising move. Some commercial real estate hasn’t gone through the same prolonged slump as the residential market and recovered a while ago.
