The Department of Defense started the week off with a bang Monday (if you'll pardon the expression). Across a field of 20 contracts awarded, the Pentagon laid out plans to spend nearly $6.6 billion in total contracts -- and just two contracts accounted for more than 90% of that total. It seems that tight budgets are not going to interfere with the drive to building a bigger Navy.
The contracts in question awarded to major martial shipbuilders Huntington Ingalls (NYSE: HII ) and Bath Iron Works (the General Dynamics (NYSE: GD ) subsidiary), respectively, are worth a combined $6.2 billion and commission the two defense contractors to build a total of nine Arleigh Burke-class (DDG 51) guided missile destroyers.
Of the two, Huntington won the bigger contract, a $3.3 billion fixed-price incentive, multiyear contract�to begin building five destroyers over the course of fiscal 2013 to 2017 -- one per year. Construction work should complete on the five by July 2023.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Matt DiLallo]
Some buyers are now experiencing a sense of urgency, which might cause a pause at some point. Rapidly increasing home prices might even scare some buyers away and force them to continue renting. Apartment companies like AvalonBay Communities (NYSE: AVB ) and Brookfield Property Partners' (NYSE: BPY) Fairfield Residential are already benefiting from higher occupancy rates, meaning rising home prices could lead to even higher rents.
