Real estate markets are still not getting a lot of love from the investing world. Even though sales and pricing have been increasing, there is still fear of what may happen if the bond market does not get its act under control. The price of real estate and REITs are very closely correlated to the yield of ten-year treasuries, and that is a concern.
I am comfortably in the camp of &#8220;Stagflation is inevitable&#8221; thanks to the current trade policy and high levels of uncertainty. However, I am not in the camp of &#8220;The end is nigh.&#8221;
Given the nasty bear market we have experienced and the levels of fear in the marketplace, it is quite likely that we are closer to a bottom than the markets want to accept. Even those who are bullish on the economy and the markets tend to overlook real estate.
Even though real estate has created more millionaires and even billionaires than any other asset class, there is a perception that owning REITs is boring. While REITs have languished in the past few years, it was hard to be comfortable with calling a bottom as we did not see insiders step up to the plate as they have at previous bottoms in the REIT market. That is starting to change. In recent weeks, buying activity by the officers and directors of real estate investment trusts has been picking up.
Americold Realty Trust (Ticker: COLD)
One of the largest rounds of insider buying recently was at Americold Realty Trust (COLD). Everything you buy requires storage at some point in its journey from the manufacturer to you. A lot of the things you buy, especially at the grocery store, require that storage facility to be temperature controlled—specifically, controlled to be cold.
Americold owns 238 cold storage facilities around the world. Its customers include some of the largest food producers and grocery chains in the world. Here in the United States, their locations cover 99% of the population.
There are key megatrends helping drive the demand for cold storage:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>We are trying to eat healthier, which requires fresh food</li>
<li>Meal kits have seen a meteoric rise in popularity, and most of them have to be refrigerated at every step of the supply chain</li>
</ul>
Americold has seen revenues rise by 60% over the past five years, and net operating income has grown by 69%. The stock has fallen by more than 50% from its pandemic highs, and insiders are starting to buy shares in anticipation of a massive long-term rebound.
CEO George Chapelle bought $1.9 million worth of stock earlier this month. CFO Jay Wells spent $179,000 to add to his position in the REIT. Americold just raised the dividend by 5%, and the shares now yield about 5.5%.
BRT Apartments Corp. (Ticker: BRT)
It seems that every time there is even a hint of a lull in the real estate markets, Jeffrey Gould increases his stake in BRT Apartments (BRT). I bought BRT shares years ago when they made the transition from a mortgage REIT to an owner of apartments. It was insider buying that drew my attention to the stock, and we are still seeing strong buying today.
Gould has been in the real estate investment game for a long time and is also a director at One Liberty Properties (OLP), a net lease REIT.
BRT Apartments Corp. is a small-cap multifamily REIT focused on garden-style and mid-rise apartment communities across the Southeast and Texas. The company operates a portfolio of 29 properties with nearly 8,000 units. At the current price, the shares yield 6.29%. The REIT is also actively buying back stock to take advantage of the favorable valuation right now.
The Gould family owns about 40% of the REIT, but Jeffrey Gould just keeps buying. Notably, in May 2025, he purchased 25,238 shares valued at approximately $385,134. Earlier, in April 2024, Gould acquired shares worth over $625,000.
Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (Ticker: PEB)
Hotel REITs have underperformed all year, and the decline is starting to create the kind of bargain pricing that attracts insiders. Pebblebrook Hotels (PEB) Chairman and CEO Jon Bortz has been aggressively buying shares since March. His most recent purchases were in May when he purchased about $1.5 million in additional shares of the REIT.
Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEB#NYSE">PEB</a>) is a lodging-focused REIT that owns a portfolio of upper-upscale, full-service hotels and resorts concentrated in high-barrier, urban and resort markets across the United States. Pebblebrook has carved out a niche investing in lifestyle-oriented properties in gateway cities like San Francisco, Washington D.C., Boston, and Key West. The portfolio includes over 50 hotels and resorts, featuring well-known properties like 1 Hotel San Francisco, Hotel Zena in D.C., and the Southernmost Beach Resort in Key West.
Real estate is out of favor with investors, but insiders are slowly but surely stepping up to the plate.

BRT Apartments Q1 FFO $0.39 Beats $0.27 Estimate, Sales $24.11M Beat $23.85M Estimate

U.S. homebuyers and refinancers staged an aggressive comeback last week, taking swift advantage of slightly lower interest rates just as Wall Street braces for the Federal Reserve's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45224205/will-powell-defy-trump-again-heres-what-the-fed-chair-might-say-on-wednesday">policy decision on Wednesday.</a>
The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported that total mortgage applications rose 11% for the week ending May 2, snapping back from the 4.2% decline seen the week before. 
The jump, which ranks among the top four weekly gains in 2025 so far, signals a notable resurgence in housing market activity amid mixed economic signals.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rates Drop, Applications Spike</h3>
The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate for conforming loan balances—$806,500 or less—eased to 6.84%, down from 6.89% a week earlier. That small dip triggered a wave of new demand, both from buyers and homeowners looking to refinance.
Purchase applications increased by 11%, while refinance activity rose by the same margin. Year-over-year, refinancing volumes are now 51% higher, a dramatic swing after months of tepid activity.
&#8220;With rates moving lower, refinance volume increased 11 percent, led by VA refinance applications, which were up 26 percent,&#8221; said Mike Fratantoni, MBA's chief economist. He noted that conventional purchase applications, typically favored by move-up buyers with higher loan sizes, rose 13% and are now up 9% from a year ago.
Government-backed loans, such as those insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), also saw rising demand. FHA purchase applications jumped 9%, contributing to an overall 6% increase in government loan demand.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economic Clouds, All Eyes On The Fed</h3>
The mortgage data arrives just days after a slew of mixed economic indicators. 
While April's jobs report showed solid employment gains, other metrics disappointed. First-quarter GDP growth came in negative and manufacturing activity continued to show signs of contraction, according to the latest business surveys.
&#8220;The economic news last week included a negative reading for first-quarter GDP growth and further signs of contraction in the manufacturing sector, mixed with a solid employment report for April,&#8221; said Fratantoni.
Investors overwhelmingly expect the Fed to hold rates steady in the 4.25%-4.5% range during its upcoming policy meeting.
Chair Jerome Powell's press conference, scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, will be closely watched for hints on when rate cuts might begin. 
Speculators currently assign just a 30% chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut by June, but odds jump to 75% for a potential easing by July, reflecting growing confidence in a summer pivot.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>The Insider's Guide to Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Taking a closer look at transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, meticulously cataloged in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A signifies a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) had a difficult April, with only about 25% of them finishing in positive territory. The Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNQ#NYSE">VNQ</a>), which includes REITs as well as other real estate-related stocks, was down 6.37%. However, many REITs were notably stronger than the overall index.
Weighing down REITs in April was the Federal Reserve's tougher stance on interest rates remaining higher for longer. Chairman Jerome Powell's April 16 speech set the tone when he talked about the Fed's 2% inflation goal.&nbsp;
"The recent data have clearly not given us greater confidence, and instead indicate that it's likely to take longer than expected to achieve that confidence," he said.
Interest rate-sensitive stocks such as REITs sold off quickly after Powell's remarks but recovered within a few days.

The best performers often are not the most well-known REITs, and this was apparent over the last four weeks. Take a look at the best-performing REITs in April:&nbsp;
Apartment Income REIT Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIRC#NYSE">AIRC</a>), also known as AIR Communities, is a Denver-based residential REIT that owns rental housing communities with 21,674 units in 10 states on both U.S. coasts.

Blackstone plans to take the entire portfolio private.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The purchase price of $39.12 per share represented a 25% premium to AIRC's April 5 closing price. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2024. As of April 8, Apartment Income suspended its quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share.
Primarily because of the sale, Apartment Income had a total return in April of 20.77%, the highest total among all REITs.

<h3>Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance</h3>
Insider transactions, although significant, should be considered within the larger context of market analysis and trends.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale.
