Real estate investment trust (REIT) returns outperformed the broader real estate market in November. The FTSE NAREIT Indexes are now up more than 100 percent from their March 6 lows. The growth is largely being fueled by the recapitalization of the REIT industry, where REIT public equity and debt offerings have raised nearly $35 billion with 86 secondary equity offerings, eight initial public offerings, and 33 unsecured debt offerings in 2009. According to these numbers and expected trends, well-positioned companies could go on a buying spree.
