Bargain Hunting? These REITs Are on Sale

The real estate investment trust (REIT) sector has cooled off considerably this year. Shares of the average REIT ended April down more than 8% on the year, weighed down by higher interest rates and the overall sell-off in the stock market. That's quite a change from last year when REIT's delivered market-beating total returns of more than 40% on average.
