NEW YORK - Shares of real estate investment trusts mostly fell Thursday morning as orders to factories for big-ticket manufactured goods dropped for a third straight month in March, the longest string of declines since the 2001 recession. The market was also weighed down by a report that sales of new homes fell to their lowest level since 1991, a sign that the housing market has not yet started to recover.
Separately, Vornado Realty Trust was downgraded by Merrill Lynch to "Neutral," from "Buy."
Here's how some REITs performed shortly after market open:
Host Hotels & Resorts dropped 16 cents to $16.60.
Vornado Realty Trust fell $1.08, to $92.21.
Boston Properties Inc. slipped 4 cents to $101.01.
Bucking the trend, Kimco Realty Corp. gained 46 cents to $40.19.
