Sun Communities (NYSE:SUI) shares have fallen 44% year-to-date and have significantly underperformed the Vanguard REIT Index/ETF (VNQ). While the price chart of the recent past is indeed ugly, over the past decade. SUI shares have been a massive out-performer versus VNQ as mobile home and RV parks are a fantastic business with favorable long-term supply and demand dynamics. With shares selling at the low end of their historical range, I think it is a great time for a long-term, conservative investor to pick up shares in Sun Communities.

Oct 27, 2022

A university study finds homeowners are increasingly influenced by home improvement media, leading to continuing anxiety about whether their homes are measuring up to standards.

“Historically, home is understood as a place for you and your family that represents who you are,” said Annetta Grant, Bucknell University Freeman College of Management professor, in a press release. “The home improvement media is shifting that to an understanding of the home as your biggest asset that must meet some marketplace standards.”

If Real Estate Is An Inflation Hedge, Why Are Properties Declining In Value?

The U.S. inflation rate was 8.2% in September. This is a slight drop from the 8.3% rate in August but more than the 8.1% economists were forecasting for the month.

Over the years, real estate has been promoted as a hedge against inflation. But how can that be true when housing prices are declining? Is real estate really an inflation hedge?
