The listed property sector is home to its fair share of bargains. The majority of the sector has been trading at a discount to net asset value (NAV) since interest rates started going up three years ago, and Urban Logistics Reit (SHED) is no exception. The real estate investment trust (Reit) has not traded at a premium to NAV since 2022 and currently sits on a discount of 30 per cent. As we head into 2025, however, this pessimism seems overdone.
