Real Estate Returns in Canada Go Negative hefferMiller 06-19-2006
Looks like returns on real estate funds in Canada have gone negative:

"For the one-year period ended May 31, the 32 funds in the real estate
category averaged returns of 13.61%, while the three-year average
annual compound yield through May was 15.62%, and the five-year
annualized figure was 10.63%. Some funds posted yearly returns
approaching 20%.

More recently, though, the figures have not looked nearly as rosy. The
average return for real estate funds during May was negative 1.63%, and
the average three-month figure through May was a mere 0.01%."


WARNING: lots of positive spin in this article by the fund managers:
