The market value of iShares Real Estate is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of IShares that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of IShares Real's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is IShares Real's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because IShares Real's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect IShares Real's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.

Investors typically determine if IShares Real is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections.
