is there an ETF that tracks the real estate mkt?

??????

 

XHB, but it is home builders so perhaps it might help you.

 

SRS is the ultra-short for realestate...only one I know off the top of my head

RWR, DJ Wilshire International Real Estate ETF (RWX)
iShares Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index Fd (IYR)
iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors Index Fd (ICF)
Vanguard REIT ETF (VNQ)
First Trust S&P REIT Index Fd (FRI)

 

....and the only one that is useful right now. To go long, that is!

 

Wait for a pullback below $100 to buy.

 

Not an ETF, but might interest you anyways:
