Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Matt DiLallo]

  Some buyers are now experiencing a sense of urgency, which might cause a pause at some point. Rapidly increasing home prices might even scare some buyers away and force them to continue renting. Apartment companies like AvalonBay Communities (NYSE: AVB  ) and Brookfield Property Partners' (NYSE: BPY) Fairfield Residential are already benefiting from higher occupancy rates, meaning rising home prices could lead to even higher rents.
