Real Estate ETFs have been hovering around a 52-week high lately.

Real Estate ETFs Are Hitting 52-Week Highs Lately: Here's Why

iShares Residential and Multisector Real Estate ETF (REZ) invests in U.S. residential, healthcare, and self-storage REITs, offering a stable 2.7% yield and a 6.6% average annual return since 2007. The fund's defensive portfolio is less sensitive to economic cycles, benefiting from low residential inventory, improving healthcare margins, and potential self-storage market recovery. A declining interest rate environment is favorable for REZ, but investors should be cautious of recession risks that could impact performance.
