Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have continued to attract
investors in 2012 as the U.S. housing market have begun to show
signs of a long-awaited recovery. An improving economy and
record-low mortgage rates have encouraged many potential buyers.
U.S. single family home prices increased for the first time in
nearly a year according to a recent survey Tuesday. Five Star
Equities examines the outlook for diversified REITs and provides
equity research on Hatteras Financial Corp. (NYSE: HTS) and
American Capital Agency Corp. (NASDAQ: AGNC).

The S&P/Case Shiller composite index of 20 metropolitan
areas gained 0.2 percent in February on a seasonally adjusted
basis, making it the first price increase since April 2011.
According to economists surveyed by Bloomberg American new-home
sales in March increased 1.6 percent compared with a 1 percent rise
the month prior.
"Looking forward, we think homes sales will continue to trend
upward, which ultimately will result in a slower rate of home value
depreciation," said Stan Humphries, chief economist at Zillow. "But
any housing recovery will be dependent on job growth. Continued
progress in this area is essential to keeping the housing recovery,
such as it is, on track."
