May 26, 2021 | Calvin Schnure | Nareit
REIT exposures to interest rates are at an all-time low, as demonstrated by new data from the Nareit T-Tracker®. REITs have reduced their reliance on borrowings, which lowered leverage ratios considerably over the past decade. The weighted average debt-to-book assets ratio of all REITs declined from 58.3% in 2008 to 50.3% in the first quarter of 2021.
