Three Oversold REITs With Strong Fundamentals
By Dan Schmidt. Article Published: 3/30/2026.
Key Points
- Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are often popular investments during turbulent times because they return so much capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks.
- In the AI-powered surge over the last few years, REITs have become a forgotten asset class and have lagged the market.
- Now that volatility has returned, REITs could be an attractive investment, including these three with fundamental tailwinds.

There was a time when the biggest worry in markets was commercial real estate (CRE), especially for companies that own offices and workplaces now occupied less frequently as many staff continue to work from home. You likely won’t find CRE concerns leading the financial headlines as often anymore, but that doesn’t necessarily mean conditions have improved — there’s still a lot going on. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have been dragged down with the broader market over the last month, and commercial assets remain a concern for investors. However, a few REITs are flashing oversold signals on key technical indicators, and we’ve identified three that also look solid from a fundamental perspective.
Why REITs Could Be Primed for Strong Growth in 2026
REITs have been a relatively dull asset class over the past five years, with little price appreciation beyond dividend income. The Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSEARCA: VNQ), one of the largest broad-based REIT ETFs with more than $33 billion in assets, has lost 5.5% over the last five years; much of that decline occurred in the past month (down about 8%). Until the outbreak of the Iran conflict, REIT investors were only just above water and relied primarily on dividends for returns.

Since 2009, the Dividend Machine has posted a total return of 7,056.47% – turning a $10,000 stake into more than $700,000 while the broader market struggled through multiple downturns.
With a 93% win rate since launch, this dividend-focused strategy has kept investors cashing steady checks through every crash.

That said, there are several reasons to be cautiously bullish on REITs in 2026. Many names have fallen into oversold territory, which technical traders will watch for a rebound. And despite the interest-rate backdrop leaning toward “higher for longer,” analysts expect 2026 to be a constructive year for the sector.
JPMorgan Research projects overall FFO growth of about 6% for the sector this year. Funds From Operations (FFO) measures a REIT’s cash flow by adding amortization and depreciation to net income and then subtracting gains from non-recurring property sales. FFO typically gives a more accurate picture of cash flow than net income alone and is useful for assessing the sustainability of dividends. Because REITs are often treated as income-focused investments, steady dividend growth tends to matter more than short-term stock gains.
These 3 REITs Have Strong Fundamentals and Flashing Oversold Signals
When looking for oversold stocks, it’s important to confirm signals using several technical indicators. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a popular starting point because of its simple heuristics and reliability, but it should not be used in isolation. For the three names below, we pair the RSI with other tools such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator to get a clearer picture.
Simon Property Group: Stabilized By an Affluent Customer Base
Simon Property Group Inc. (NYSE: SPG), once known primarily as a mall REIT, has repositioned itself as a “destination” operator catering to more affluent customers. While many traditional malls struggled, SPG focused on high-end centers and prime retail properties for luxury brands. That strategy appears to be paying off: in Q4 2025, management reported record annual FFO of $4.8 billion ($12.73 per share) and guided 2026 FFO to about $13.00–$13.25 per share. The company also announced a $2 billion share repurchase (roughly 3% of market cap), with portfolio occupancy above 96% and a 15% year-over-year (YOY) increase in its leasing pipeline.
Simon’s fundamentals show little sign of distress; the stock’s recent weakness likely reflects the broader market pullback rather than company-specific problems. Shares found support at the 200-day moving average just as the RSI reached oversold levels. If the stock holds above the 200-day moving average, this may be an attractive entry point for long-term investors.
Rexford Industrial Realty: Opportunities in California Industrial Zones
Southern California contains one of the largest infill industrial markets in the U.S., with more than 1.8 billion square feet, but zoning and regulatory constraints often limit new supply and create high barriers to entry. That supply tightness helps push rents higher, benefiting incumbent owners such as Rexford Industrial Realty Inc. (NYSE: REXR), which owns over 400 properties in the region. The stock has been a long-term underperformer over the past five years, but Rexford is in transition: former COO Laura Clark was appointed CEO, and the company authorized $500 million in new share buybacks.
The company has a near-term catalyst on April 15, when it reports Q1 2026 earnings, which could halt or reverse the recent decline. Shares are down about 16% year-to-date, including a 14% drop in the past month. The stock is approaching its April 2025 lows, and both the RSI and MACD suggest that downward momentum is slowing. A bullish MACD crossover ahead of the earnings report would be a useful confirmation of a potential momentum shift.
Vornado Realty Trust: A Contrarian Play on New York Real Estate
An investment in Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE: VNO) isn’t for the faint of heart — New York commercial real estate was hit hard by the pandemic and has been slow to recover. Still, Vornado reported an industry-leading 4.6 million square feet of Manhattan leasing in 2025, with particular strength in its PENN 1 and PENN 2 districts. Management also noted acquisitions of high-end properties on Fifth Avenue and East 54th Street in its Q4 2025 results. It guided 2026 FFO to be roughly in line with 2025, a cautious projection that nevertheless leaves room for upside if leasing momentum continues.
VNO shares show a chart pattern similar to REXR, with signs of a rebound forming. The RSI has spent much of the past two months in oversold territory, near spring 2025 lows. Importantly, the MACD has crossed above its signal line, suggesting that selling pressure may be easing and buyers could be returning.
