Nareit Residential REIT Sector Page

Nareit residential REIT sector page data is the sector briefing card for US housing REITs, published by Nareit - the association behind the FTSE Nareit indexes. One surface, three layers. An FTSE-sourced snapshot sizes the sector: 15 residential REITs, a 3.96% dividend yield, a 5.74% year-to-date total return as of 7/31/2026. A quarterly T-Tracker block aggregates the money: $2,486M of funds from operations, $3,656M of net operating income and $1,821M of dividends paid in Q1 2026 alone, with full-year 2026 running to $10,855M, $14,833M and $8,204M. And a 28-row company directory names the players - AMH, CPT, EQR, INVH, UDR and peers - each with ticker, headquarters, stock price and one-year total return.

The useful surprise is scope. "Residential" here spans four property types - apartments and multifamily, student housing, manufactured homes and single-family rentals - which is why single-family rental operator Invitation Homes and manufactured-housing REIT UMH share a table with classic apartment REIT EQR. Everything needed to size and screen the residential REIT universe arrives pre-assembled instead of hunted down tab by tab.

Three shapes arrive in one pull - directory rows keyed by ticker, the FTSE overview statistics, and the quarterly T-Tracker aggregates:

Every price and return cell in the directory carries its own market-close stamp, so a sample never leaves you guessing which day a quote belongs to.

Ten documented fields carry the statistical spine of the page - sector counts, yields, aggregate returns and the T-Tracker money columns - each exemplified in the field dictionary below. The remaining directory columns ride along per row: each REIT's headquarters city and country, its trailing one-year total return percentage and its latest stock price, all pinned to a named market close. Those quote-style cells change with every session, so they fold under additional fields on request alongside the T-Tracker occupancy-rate cell.

Geographically the dataset tracks US-listed residential REITs across all four property types, with headquarters locations worldwide where a constituent files them from abroad. Temporally it layers three clocks: a live price-and-return snapshot stamped to the latest market close, sector return history in yearly blocks, and T-Tracker operating aggregates on a quarterly cadence with full-year rollups. At the row level you get one line per REIT in the 28-company directory; at the sector level you get the overview and quarterly tables.

One honest wrinkle: the page's own counts disagree by design. The FTSE overview lists 15 REITs, the how-to-invest copy claims 18 index-listed constituents, and the directory enumerates 28 rows because it adds non-traded and recently listed entities. Datadory keeps all three counts side by side rather than quietly picking a winner.

API, files, or your warehouse. Daily, weekly, or hourly - your call. Directory rows land with their quotes stamped to the named market close, overview statistics carry their as-of date, and the T-Tracker aggregates arrive on their reporting rhythm with quarterly and full-year columns intact. Slice the pull to the multifamily cohort alone, or take the full four-property-type residential universe; either way the first delivery matches the scope you define rather than the shape of someone else's web page.

Investors and quants use the sector aggregates as the benchmark layer for apartment-reit models: when the T-Tracker prints Q1 2026 same-store NOI growth of 1.4% and $10.9B of trailing funds from operations, a single issuer's results finally have something honest to be measured against. Competitive-intel and product teams keep the 28-row roster as the canonical peer set - who is listed, who trades, who does not yet - and watch the one-year total-return column reshuffle the rankings. Analysts screening for income start at the 3.96% sector dividend yield and work down to individual payers.

Because the directory spans apartments, student housing, manufactured homes and single-family rentals, the same pull doubles as a cross-property-type comparison nobody bothers to assemble manually.

Three things worth knowing before the first pull. First, the count question: 15 in the FTSE view, 18 claimed as index-listed, 28 in the directory - all three ship in the dataset with their labels attached. Second, non-traded entities in the directory report "Not available" or $0.00 for price, so screens should filter on quoted rows. Third, the T-Tracker's occupancy-rate cell rendered blank in the most recently observed quarter, so occupancy-dependent models should treat that field as provisional until Nareit repopulates it.
