Despite a rocky U.S. housing market shares of high yielding REITs
have performed well in 2012, as they continue to take advantage of
record low mortgage rates. The Vanguard REIT ETF -- which tracks
the performance of an index that measures the performance of
publicly traded equity REITs -- is up nearly 10 percent this year,
outperforming the Dow Jones Industrial. Five Star Equities examines
the outlook for diversified REITs and provides equity research on
American Capital Agency Corp. (NASDAQ: AGNC) and CYS Investments
Inc. (NYSE: CYS).

The housing market has continued to show signs of improvement as
U.S. home prices in March edged higher for the second month in a
row. On a seasonally adjusted basis the S&P Shiller composite
index of 20 metropolitan areas gained 0.1 percent in March, just
shy of economists' forecasts of 0.2 percent. There were price
increases in seven of the twenty cities covered.
"While a broad regional variation remains, the fact that some of
the areas hardest hit during the housing downturn, such as Florida,
Arizona and California, have seen gains in recent months is a
positive sign that the gradual improvement in housing conditions is
becoming somewhat broader based," Peter Newland, an economist at
Barclays, wrote in a note.
