Latest REIT Community Comments on #ESS
- It worries me a bit that all of the properties from #ESS are concentrated in California and Washington state. - womba - 2021-04-08 20:04:18 - See full comment
- Prices are still going up, I took advantage today to buy some of the REITs with the highest REIT Rating score which traditionally are very expensive but are still at a discount. These REITs also have consistently been increasing their dividends. Some that I bought today are AvlonBay Communities #AVB, Crown Castle Int #CCI, Essex Property #ESS and PS Business Park #PSB. I’m aware that these last two days prices have been higher and may fall in later part of week, but I’m ok with that. - 777i - 2020-04-08 10:43:29 - See full comment
- I’ve bought #GEO, what I’m trying to buy more of before the all rebound are the ones that have strong market cap values, tendency to increase dividends and low dividend yield due to their high prices, this is my list #O, #HIW, #AAT, #AVB, #CPT, #UDR, #MAA, #DEA, #ESS, #DEI, #PSB, #CCI, #DLR, #CONE, #EGP, #DRE, #ARE, #PLD, #FR, #SUI, #ELS, #COLD, #TRNO, and #REXR for now. However, I am buying other stocks in the mix and trying to time this as best I can. - Kev B - 2020-04-07 01:14:44 - See full comment

Occupancy Rate
Different REITs may report Occupancy levels in various forms/calculations. Some of the terms used to describe occupancy are Portfolio Occupancy, Weighted Average Occupancy, Ending Occupancy, Economic Occupancy, Leased Occupancy, Physical Occupancy, Pro Forma Occupancy, Same-Property Occupancy, Stabilized Portfolio Occupancy, Comparable Occupancy, Lease Rate, Percent Leased, among others. Some REITs interchange the words Occupancy and Leased while others use them to distinguish between data points. Some REITs also vary the use of the words over time through their earning reports. Therefore the information provided here is our best attempt at collecting data on occupancy/leased trends. However, it may not be accurate or comparable between different REITs.

REITRating is REITNote's Real Estate Investment Trust industry-specific rating and ranking system. The REIT’s score for each analysis is out of ten points, with ten being the best score and zero being the worst. A score of zero can be assigned if the REIT does not meet the criteria for that specific analysis. N/A is assigned if insufficient data is available for a particular analysis. Our REITRating logic is continuously improving, so a REIT’s rating and ranking may change over time. Important Note: REITRating is not a predictor of a REIT’s future performance, it is an evaluation of its past results. Additionally, the REITRating system is for informational purposes only and does not represent financial or investment advice or a recommendation of which REITs to acquire. Learn more.
