Report Highlights
Real Estate Fund
o Real estate stocks suffered their second straight year of losses despite
the industry's growth in earnings and dividends.
o The fund's returns were negative for the 6- and 12-month periods but were
ahead of both benchmarks due to stock and sector selection.
o In 1999 investors favored stocks with little or no earnings and shunned
solid investments offering good value, including the stocks in our sectors.
o The real estate industry remains in sound financial shape, and we took
advantage of price declines to position the fund for growth when an upturn
begins.
o We anticipate increasing revenues, earnings, and dividends for the industry
in 2000 and believe it is only a question of time before investors share
our enthusiasm for real estate stocks.

Fellow Shareholders
Despite rising earnings and dividends, real estate stocks posted their second
year in a row of negative returns in a market dominated by technology and
Internet stocks. It was a quarter century ago that the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts last reported back-to-back declines in total
returns for our sector. While the 1998-1999 decline was dramatically less
severe, it was still disappointing in the face of our optimism for real estate
stocks.

The most frustrating thing for us about 1999 was investors' continued
enthusiasm for stocks with little or no earnings and cash dividends, and
their aversion to the stocks of companies with solid earnings growth and
high dividend yields. As investors drove technology and Internet stocks to
astronomical heights, they shunned stocks with the "bird in the hand"
characteristics of attractive dividends and cash flows, including the real
estate stocks that dominate our portfolio. In a very real sense,
traditional investment criteria were discarded in favor of a speculative
frenzy to own stocks with no history and few prospects for future earnings.
The only consolation for shareholders was that the fund managed to surpass
the returns of both the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index and the
Lipper average for similar funds-a result of fortuitous stock and industry
selection.
We do not believe this environment can continue indefinitely. As we look
ahead to the rest of 2000 and beyond, we remain optimistic about prospects
for stocks in our sectors. As mentioned, cash rents have continued to grow,
and because of real estate companies' unique structure they channel much of
their income to investors in the form of dividends, which we in turn pass
along to you as distributions. Over time, the benefits of these investments
for shareholders should once again be recognized.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Perhaps apathy is the best word to describe investor sentiment toward our
sector. While many investors would agree with our assessment that real
estate investment trusts (REITs) are inexpensive, most investors seemed to
be looking for a catalyst that would once again attract attention to these
stocks. We believe the compelling valuations reflected in their share
prices will be the catalyst that ultimately moves these stocks in a
positive direction.
The fund's negative total return in 1999 was due to declining stock prices
that exceeded the dividends paid during the year. Share prices fell despite
the increase in earnings and dividends reported by the majority of our
investments. Thus, a contraction in earnings multiples for the second year
in a row led to the sector's overall decline. In 2000 we again expect
increases in earnings and dividends and believe that the price/earnings
multiples for these stocks will begin to expand.
The vast majority of our holdings announced dividend increases in 1999, and
earnings increased even more rapidly. This means that the increased
dividends actually occurred along with lower dividend payout ratios (the
percentage of earnings paid in cash dividends). According to J.P. Morgan,
REITs posted average dividend increases of 4.7% in 1999. It was perplexing
to see investors looking askance at rising cash dividends as though they
were meaningless, while simultaneously finding appeal in the frequent stock
splits of Internet shares, which actually do not add any value. Again, we
believe it is only a question of time before investors recognize the
opportunities available in our sectors.
While we question the validity of some Internet stocks, we do not question
the reality of the Internet and its long-term importance to our lives.
Accordingly, we began to underweight the retail sectors in our portfolio
because we believe they will be increasingly challenged by a new generation
of e-retailing firms. While the sectors we invest in may seem hidebound to
some, many of our companies are proactively responding with Internet
strategies of their own.

In our last report, we discussed the concept of net asset value (NAV) and
the notion that real estate stocks were trading at discounts to the
underlying value of their assets. We defined NAV as the estimated value
that might be received if the underlying properties were sold, either as a
portfolio or through individual sales. We believe that significant
discounts to NAV persist. However, we are encouraged to see the management
of real estate companies adapting to their dynamic environment, thriving,
and taking advantage of opportunity in the marketplace. Many portfolio
companies have been culling assets from portions of their portfolios, often
using the proceeds to repurchase shares. In effect, these companies are
selling properties at asset value and buying back their stock at discounts
to asset value. This has a double benefit of increasing earnings per share
while reducing the portfolio size and making it easier to grow from a
smaller base. We are proponents of this type of active management at the
property level, and it is a trait we look for in our investments.
Coincidentally, two portfolio companies seemed to share our concerns about
retail and divested their substantial retail holdings, then redeployed the
proceeds. AMB Property sold its considerable shopping center properties and
used the proceeds to purchase additional industrial properties in its core
business. Similarly, Trizec Hahn sold its large mall holdings and
reinvested the proceeds in its core office portfolio. Another portfolio
position benefited from the surge in technology. Spieker Properties is a
dominant landlord in Silicon Valley, and heavy demand from technology
companies has led to rapidly increasing rental rates for its properties.
One former holding that hurt us was LaSalle Partners. Unfortunately, the
merger between LaSalle Partners and Jones Lang Wooten that held so much
promise proved to be a distraction that caused top management to take its
eye off the ball and miss earnings projections considerably.
OUTLOOK
Higher earnings, higher distributions, higher dividend coverage, fewer
speculators, and greater scrutiny-this to us still seems like a strong
recipe for success. While our stocks have not performed as we hoped they
would during the past two years, the companies themselves have generally
done well. Recent indications from the Fed about further increases in
interest rates cause some worry. Nevertheless, we are pleased to see that
building activity has recently been declining. While we remain cautious in
our outlook for some sectors of real estate, we remain upbeat on the
industry as a whole and continue to anticipate increasing revenues,
earnings, and dividends in the year ahead.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
T. Rowe Price Real Estate Fund, Inc. (the fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end management
investment company and commenced operations on October 31, 1997.
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for the investment company
industry; these principles may require the use of estimates by fund
management.
Valuation Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities
exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the day the
valuations are made. A security which is listed or traded on more than one
exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the
primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a
particular day and securities regularly traded in the over-the-counter
market are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. Other
equity securities are valued at a price within the limits of the latest bid
and asked prices deemed by the Board of Directors, or by persons delegated
by the Board, best to reflect fair value.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per
share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation.
Assets and liabilities for which the above valuation procedures are
inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair
value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the
officers of the fund, as authorized by the Board of Directors.
Other Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses
are reported on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded by the fund on the ex-dividend
date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with federal income tax regulations and may differ from those determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Credits earned on
daily uninvested cash balances at the custodian are used to reduce the
fund's custody charges.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $6,882,000 and $8,355,000, respectively, for the
year ended December 31, 1999.
NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of
its taxable income. As of December 31, 1999, the fund has capital loss
carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $3,423,000, of which
$224,000 expires in 2006, and $3,199,000 in 2007. The fund intends to
retain gains realized in future periods that may be offset by available
capital loss carryforwards.
At December 31, 1999, the cost of investments for federal income tax
purposes was substantially the same as for financial reporting and totaled
$29,009,000. Net unrealized loss aggregated $4,455,000 at period-end, of
which $249,000 related to appreciated investments and $4,704,000 to
depreciated investments.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The investment management agreement between the fund and T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc. (the manager) provides for an annual investment management
fee. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly, and consists of an
individual fund fee equal to 0.30% of average daily net assets and a group
fee. The group fee is based on the combined assets of certain mutual funds
sponsored by the manager or Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. (the
group). The group fee rate ranges from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of
assets to 0.295% for assets in excess of $120 billion. At December 31,
1999, and for the year then ended, the effective annual group fee rate was
0.32%. The fund pays a pro-rata share of the group fee based on the ratio
of its net assets to those of the group.
Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the manager is
required to bear any expenses through December 31, 1999, which would cause
the fund's ratio of total expenses to average net assets to exceed 1.00%.
Thereafter, through December 31, 2001, the fund is required to reimburse
the manager for these expenses, provided that average net assets have grown
or expenses have declined sufficiently to allow reimbursement without
causing the fund's ratio of total expenses to average net assets to exceed
1.00%. Pursuant to this agreement, $164,000 of management fees were not
accrued by the fund for the year ended December 31, 1999, and $38,000 of
other expenses were borne by the manager. Additionally, $286,000 of
unaccrued fees and expenses remain subject to reimbursement through
December 31, 2001.
In addition, the fund has entered into agreements with the manager and two
wholly owned subsidiaries of the manager, pursuant to which the fund
receives certain other services. The manager computes the daily share price
and maintains the financial records of the fund. T. Rowe Price Services,
Inc. is the fund's transfer and dividend disbursing agent and provides
shareholder and administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price
Retirement Plan Services, Inc. provides subaccounting and recordkeeping
services for certain retirement accounts invested in the fund. The fund
incurred expenses pursuant to these related party agreements totaling
approximately $170,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, of which
$20,000 was payable at period-end.
The fund may invest in the Reserve Investment Fund and Government Reserve
Investment Fund (collectively, the Reserve Funds), open-end management
investment companies managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. The Reserve
Funds are offered as cash management options only to mutual funds and other
accounts managed by T. Rowe Price and its affiliates and are not available
to the public. The Reserve Funds pay no investment management fees.
Distributions from the Reserve Funds to the fund for the year ended
December 31, 1999, totaled $45,000 and are reflected as interest income in
the accompanying Statement of Operations.
