As of Nov. 21, 2025, a pair of real estate stocks are lighting up momentum screens with overbought signals that might give investors pause, particularly those who pay attention to technical indicators when making trading decisions.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) measures momentum by comparing how a stock performs on up days versus down days. It's essentially a temperature check for whether a stock has gotten too hot too fast. When the RSI climbs above 70, it typically signals that an asset might be overbought and potentially due for a breather. Here's a closer look at two real estate names currently flashing that warning.
Ventas Inc
Ventas Inc. (VTR) is showing an RSI reading of 74.1, well into overbought territory. The real estate investment trust has had a strong run lately, with shares climbing around 14% over the past month to approach its 52-week high of $80.50.
There's good reason for the enthusiasm. On Oct. 29, Ventas reported third-quarter funds from operations and sales results that topped expectations. "Ventas delivered strong financial performance and growth in the third quarter as we continued to execute on our 1-2-3 strategy. Results in the quarter were powered by our senior housing operating portfolio (SHOP), which experienced broad-based demand and grew organically year-over-year by double digits," said Debra A. Cafaro, Ventas Chairman and CEO.
The stock's Edge ratings show a momentum score of 80.46, though the value score sits at just 13.24, suggesting the recent rally has pushed valuation metrics higher. Shares of Ventas fell 0.3% to close at $79.78 on Thursday.
Alpine Income Property Trust Inc
Alpine Income Property Trust Inc. (PINE) is registering an RSI of 72, also comfortably above the overbought threshold. The company has posted an even stronger recent run than Ventas, with shares jumping approximately 19% over the past month. Its 52-week high stands at $18.24.
On Nov. 20, Alpine Income Property Trust announced it had acquired three separately parceled properties totaling 14 acres in Richmond, Virginia, for $20.7 million. The acquisition appears to have reinforced investor confidence in the company's growth strategy.
Shares of Alpine Income Property Trust rose 1.6% to close at $16.37 on Thursday.
It's worth noting that overbought doesn't necessarily mean "sell immediately." Strong companies can stay overbought for extended periods, especially when fundamentals are solid. But for momentum-focused traders, these elevated RSI readings suggest that some caution might be warranted in the near term.
