Buying the Dip on Boring: Why REITs Deserve a Comeback in 2025

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) had a rough few years, but in 2025 they’re poised for a rebound — and no one’s paying attention.
With interest rate cuts expected later this year, REITs — which are sensitive to borrowing costs — are trading well below historical values. Meanwhile, they’re still paying monthly distributions in the 5–8% range. That’s passive income most investors are missing.
Why REITs make sense now:
Prices are low: You’re buying valuable real estate exposure at a discount.
Monthly income: Most REITs pay steady distributions.
Sector diversity: Try healthcare REITs, industrial/logistics, or residential rental REITs.
A great option in Canada is CAR.UN (Canadian Apartment REIT), which focuses on rental housing and pays a monthly yield around 6%. Or check out XRE for a diversified Canadian REIT ETF.
Best of all: You can hold these in your TFSA for tax-free passive income, or in a non-registered account for dividend tax advantages.
