Abstract:
This thesis advances the understanding of the impact of developer infrastructure charges on housing affordability in Brisbane, Australia through the development of an econometric model and empirical analysis. The results indicate substantial on-passing of these government charges to purchasers of both new and existing homes, thus negatively impacting housing affordability across the whole community. The results of this thesis will inform policy makers and assist in the development of evidence based policy related to housing affordability and funding of urban infrastructure. Being generic, the econometric model is expected to be a tool that is suitable for estimating similar house price effects in other housing markets.

This paper examines the investment potential for Turkish Residential Real Estate Market, focusing mainly on Istanbul. With a stable economy since 2002, dynamic population, geo-political location and the potential accession to EU, Turkey provides exciting opportunities to local and international investors. Turkish economy, worldwide, ranks at twentieth in terms of GDP level and in 2005, ULI/ PriceWaterhouseCoopers has ranked Istanbul as the top development market. The question the paper is trying to answer is: Does Turkey's Residential Real Estate Market provide an attractive investment opportunity? To determine this I have reviewed the following factors: economic forecasts, political stability, newly enacted mortgage market, FDI forecasts, potential for foreign real estate ownership, current status & future predictions of real estate sector, potential of EU accession and comparison to Spanish & Romanian real estate markets. The method I used to accomplish this was mainly literature review and interviews with real estate brokers/developers. Turkey's economic stability, developing mortgage market, continuing FDI, foreigners' investment in vacation houses, improving legal transparency and potential accession to European Union makes Turkey, especially Istanbul, an increasingly attractive market. On the other hand, political stability is crucial for economic stability. In addition, slow legal system, unregistered construction activity, insufficient quality of some buildings and limited infrastructure in certain parts of the country remain to be problematic issues. Considering Turkey's opportunities and risks, it is a top investment destination in Europe, dependent on sustainable political stability, an improved mortgage & legal system and successful implementation of EU accession plan.

Beck, Jason S. "THREE ESSAYS ON RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE." UKnowledge, 2009. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/gradschool_diss/754.

Full text
Abstract:
The first essay investigates how individual characteristics influence sales outcomes for houses they help transact. It develops hedonic housing models to assess the impacts of agent characteristics such as the level of recent and concurrent agent activity on sales outcomes (price and time on market). This is done in a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) setting using seven years of data obtained from a large Midwestern city. I find evidence that more active listing agents sell homes more quickly, though they do so to the detriment of final sales price. I also find that more listings concurrently held by agents have a statistically significant, negative effect on price. Selling agents appear to be quite neutral in the process and have little effect on either sales price or time on market. The second essay defines market concentrations of residential real estate brokerage services across one hundred diverse U.S. markets. Since real estate is immobile, each geographical location constitutes a local market and thus national measures of market concentration, of the type espoused by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), are of little value. The only way to get a meaningful picture of the market in general is to collectively examine observations at the city/town level. Once indices of concentration are obtained, it may be possible to get a sense of minimum and maximum scale efficiencies as well as what market specific characteristics give rise to high or low concentrations. The third essay examines the “just-below” pricing strategy in the context of home sales. Many retailers price their goods/services directly below some round amount (i.e. pricing at $2.99 instead of $3.00) and a number of studies document the effectiveness of this strategy on the demand for relatively inexpensive items (clothing, groceries, small appliances, etc). A lesser developed strand of literature examines the prevalence and effectiveness of just-below pricing in the context of larger purchases, namely real estate. This essay affirms the prevalence of just-below pricing in home transactions and finds evidence that just-below pricing can yield a higher final transaction price compared to homes initially priced on an even price point.

Abstract:
Investment in residential real estate involves almost all members of the public at some stage of their lives, whether this be one's first home or the purchasing of one‟s first investment property. Understanding how to maximise the return on one's investment is something that can benefit the investor from before the investment is made until after the property has been sold, if it is sold at all. Literature surveys have concluded that there are a number of variables to consider when maximising the return on investment. As residential real estate is not a perfect science, there are guidelines and routes that are more beneficial to the investor depending on the current market, environment and economic standing. A survey was undertaken by members of the public that are involved in residential real estate investment, relative to the maximisation of the return on investment in residential real estate. The salient findings include: Investors in residential real estate spend more than average to extensive time prior, to investment researching the chosen residential real estate property; Investors in residential real estate perform a feasibility study before committing to the development whereas; Investors in residential real estate make use of financial advisors/valuers/estate agents or other investors' knowledge bases in deciding whether to invest in a residential property development; Investors in residential real estate believe that their degree of knowledge about the residential property market and residential property investments are average to very high. Investors in residential real estate somewhat agree that residential real estate investors do not effectively manage their investments. It was recommended that investors make use of help and guidance when investing in residential real estate, perform a feasibility study and ensure that they know their market before investing in a project. It was also noted that location plays a large role when deciding on an investment opportunity worth investing into. By creating awareness and ensuring that all methods and guidelines have been used to maximise the returns that their proposed residential real estate investment, investors can ensure a stronger, healthier cash flow and reap the highest possible benefits from their residential real estate portfolio.

In the history of the Chilean real estate market, little has been done to study the price dynamic of real estate. Currently, the Chilean industry has two types of residential indices that do not effectively present the available information. One of the existing indices uses the correct methodology (Hedonic Method), but it does not represent the whole metropolitan residential market. The second index has enough data, but the methodology (stratification or mixed adjustment method) is not the most appropriate because of its simplicity, given the great quantity of information available on the market. We briefly review different index methodologies, and base an extensive database on reliable information from the greater Santiago market. We created two types of Hedonic price indices (Pooled and Chained) for residential and commercial real estate, respectively. These hedonic methodologies are based on an econometric model to account for the problem of the heterogeneity of real estate; each property is unique within its characteristics, and should not be read independently. Thus, the objective of an index is to estimate the marginal contribution of those characteristics and generate a quality-adjusted price index. Between the two different results, we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each methodology, and why should choose one over the other in each situation. For the most of the results we obtained, they are consistent with the existing indices having nominal return of 98% and 117% for the residential market and 58% for the commercial. Our indices show some subtle differences, and they are based on a more rigorous and sophisticated methodology that is consistent with the recommendations of the Eurostat International CPPI Handbook. Finally, this document should be the first step to internationalize and professionalize the processes of measurement and should be helpful to make better public and private decisions within the Chilean real estate market.

Abstract:
Since the formal announcement of the guiding principles of sustainable development in the 1999 Policy Address, sustainable development has become a hot topic in various industries. Housing management is one of the fields that sustainable development principles could be taken place. It was believed that the diversified job natures of housing management give potential opportunities to enhance sustainable development. The aim of the project is to find absent the potential roles of housing manger in contributing the sustainable development. Before applying the concept of sustainable development into housing management, in order to study the rationale behind this concept, the emerge of this idea and its historical development would be discussed. While the functions of housing manager were differentiated in different countries and different properties, the fundamental job function would be discovered, followed by the evolution of change till the modern century. To investigate the prospective relationships between the living environment and sustainable development, residential property was chosen as the scope of this study. Six residential apartments with different scales and different management structures were selected for case studies. It was found that there are numbers of opportunities for housing manager to enhance the sustainable development in the housing estates, while most of these opportunities were related to the job functions of housing manager. The study found that housing manager could be a good facilitator to integrate the effort of all stakeholders in constructing a sustainable living community.

This research paper attempts to address the opportunity and challenges for Vacation Residential Development in North Asia, with specific geographic focus on Japan first through an analysis of national and regional consumption, tourism and real estate trends, followed by examination of similar successful developments in the surrounding region and lastly, application of research findings to assess the feasibility for a vacation home development in Kanagawa (Japan), a prefecture filled with several coastal communities approximately thirty-five miles south west of Tokyo. The concept of vacation homes has not been as well received in Japan as in other developed regions, specifically Western Europe and North America. In the most recent housing survey conducted by the Japanese government, less than 1% of the housing stock could be considered as, "second dwellings" whilst in France and the US vacation homes make up roughly 10% and 3% (respectively) of the total housing stock. More recently in the past decade, there has been significant efforts made by both international and domestic developers to develop the vacation home market in the world's second largest economy. The hypothesis for this research is: demand for vacation residences in Japan will be driven by 1) the demographic shift within Japan, 2) emergence (and in some cases reemergence) of both the Japanese and surrounding regional Asian economies and 3) subsequently the large and growing concentration of high net worth individuals within the region.
(cont.) This thesis engages qualitative research with quantitative analysis of the market and existing developments around the globe. Research findings are then used as inputs to assess what product type and operating model should be built to properly capture demand. The thesis may be considered the precursor to a more intensive quantitative research applying urban econometric models to determine exact demand both nationally and within specific micro markets. The thesis is presented with the assumption that the reader has a good understanding of the geography and the economic, socio and political conditions in Japan; and is written with a bias in favor of real estate development in Japan. Lastly, best efforts have been made to aggregate and use the most recent and available data, but in some cases industry and public sector reports are not released on an annual basis. With regards to forex conversion, the rate used throughout this research is USD 1=JPY 113, the monthly last price average between 2001.09 and 2009.5.

Abstract:
Real estate is believed to have oscillational patterns and lags from business fluctuation. Leading indicators and certain lags of each cycle enable some degree of forecasting possibility but in the same time increase risk of irrational expectation among real estate companies. Not only the risks from fluctuation and expectation, but also risks from business operation and services should be considered in their risk management. Real estate management company may have different types and degree of risk compared to individual investors. The management of risk of this business operation is also different between sizes of firms, scope of services, geographical location, etc. We hereby examined the risk management of small real estate management companies, operating and servicing in residential property market within Zurich, Switzerland. These specific investment and geographical areas are distinctive in terms of risk exposure and solutions as they have continuously strong demand, various attractive features and distinctive behaviors. Unlike a real estate investor, the real estate development company emerging within these compelling economic attributes is believed to have very low risk. After the semi-structured interview with some executive representatives of these small firms, the results have revealed high level of risk awareness and actively participation to mitigate all possible risks, notwithstanding low level. Even without a person who is specifically responsible for risk management, risk assessment and evaluation have been done exclusively by their executives facilitated by personal contacts and associated institutions.

Abstract:

This work develops the best linear model of residential real estate prices for 2003 through 2009 in Los Angeles County. It differs from other studies comparing models for predicting house prices by covering a larger geographic area than most, more houses than most, a longer time period than most, and the time period both before and after the real estate price boom in the United States. In addition, it open sources all of the software. We test designs for linear models to determine the best form for the model as well as the training period, features, and regularizer that produce the lowest errors. We compare the best of our linear models to random forests and point to directions for further research.

Abstract:
With the rising housing prices of the last 20 years, the appraisal of real estate has become more difficult. Underlined by the large differences between listing and selling prices, the valuation process brings a level of uncertainty. With the advances within the field of machine learning in recent years, attempts have been made to apply these techniques to the real estate market. This thesis investigates the potential of using neural networks to predict selling prices of apartments in Stockholm, based on apartment parameters. Networks are trained to either make an improved valuation, based on a listing price, or make a new valuation of an apartment. The results are promising, and in line with contemporary findings; however, the worst-case performance of the models could make them unsuitable for many purposes.
Med stigande bostadspriser under de senaste tjugo åren har fastighetsvärdering blivit en svårare uppgift. Värderingsprocesssen medför en grad av osäkerhet, märkbar på de stora skillnaderna mellan utgångs- och försäljningspriser. Efter stora framsteg inom maskininlärning de senaste åren har försök gjorts att applicera dessa tekniker på bostadsmarknaden. Den här studien utforskar möjligheterna att använda neurala nätverk för att uppskatta försäljningspriser av lägenheter i Stockholm, baserat på lägenhetsparametrar. Nätverken tränas för att antingen göra en förbättrad värdering utifrån utgångspriset, eller för att göra en ny värdering av en lägenhet. Resultat visar på potential, och är i linje med liknande försök, men värstafallsprestandan kan göra modellen olämplig att använda för många syften.

Abstract:
Real estate sales significantly declined during and after the 2008 mortgage crisis. In the United States, real estate sales dropped 35% after the mortgage crisis. Guided by the attention, interest, desire, and action (AIDA) model, the purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the strategies successful residential real estate organization managers use to mitigate sales decline in a postrecession environment. Three residential real estate organization managers in Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia participated in semistructured interviews. These participants are currently selling homes, worked in the real estate market before the 2008 mortgage crisis, and developed successful strategies to mitigate declining sales in a postrecession environment. The data collection process for this study included the semistructured interviews, review of archival documents, and member checking to explore successful strategies for mitigating declining sales for residential real estate organization managers. The data analysis included data coding, organizing, and making conclusions with the use of Yin's 5 phase process. During analysis, the 4 themes to emerge were customer service, consistent work ethic, innovation, and market specialization. By implementing the identified successful sales strategies, these residential real estate organization managers were able to mitigate a decline in sales in a postrecession environment. Real estate professionals may use these findings to decrease the delays in the home buying process and increase employees' sales performance. More home sales can improve local economies and the welfare of communities.

The mission of our thesis is to assist residential real estate investors and developers in making more systematic investment decisions when selecting Chinese cities. In particular, our thesis has three major objectives, (1) to understand the residential price appreciation with respect to economic growth among 35 core Chinese cities, (2) to understand the dynamics of the residential market fluctuation, and (3) to predict the residential market movement. Our models have suggested that the residential markets of Tier II Chinese cities shall outperform those of the other tiers in terms of capital appreciation under a sustainable economic growth condition, with Tier I Chinese cities experiencing the least collective growth. Interestingly, our models have suggested that historical performance is a relatively good indicator of medium-term performance, in terms of capital appreciation potentials, under an up-market cycle. Our results have indicated that the capital appreciation performance ranking of our 5-year prediction period to 2012 are relatively consistent with the capital appreciation performance ranking of the historical 9-year trend between 1999 and 2007. In particular, our top five cities with the highest capital appreciation for the 5-year period to 2012 are Xiamen, Ningbo, Nanchang, Taiyuan, and Fuzhou, respectively; in comparison, the top five cities with highest capital appreciation for the 9-year period to 2007 are Ningbo, Xiamen, Qingdao, Nanchang, and Xian, respectively.
(cont.) In terms of residential market dynamics, our models have revealed that the increase in sales transaction volume, the decline in real prime rate, and the loose mortgage policy have all contributed to the overheating of the Chinese residential market in 2007. But as the monetary policy and lending standards tighten, the sales volume was curbed and prices lost its steam. We observed that the policy change was not the only cause to the slowdown in sales transaction volume, but also the continued sales price growth; in fact, the policy change was a cause of the over-heated market. If the current pattern continues and supported by favorable policy, we expect the market shall show signs of relief in 2010; however, if prices over-shoot in the coming months, the market performance may actually reverse.

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a new senior housing and service product for the aging population of the next decade. The thesis starts with an overview of the senior housing industry in its current condition in 2011. It discusses the demographic characteristics of the population, the senior housing trends across the world, the changing needs and desires of the baby boom generation, the different housing products available for the elderly, the entitlement programs, and financing methods for development and operations of senior housing. Then it focuses on the Boston senior housing and assisted living industry, and looks specifically at 5 active case studies that range from housing to service providers: 2 senior housing projects, 2 assisted living projects and 1 village service provider to understand their specific models of operations, financing and designs. The case studies are analyzed and compared in how they serve the user and the developer from the perspective of affordability for the user, extent of subsidies used by the developer, appropriateness of design, extent of services and ability to service people with dementia or Alzheimer. The thesis then zooms in even further into the Cambridge, MA community and identifies senior housing problem for the middle income level of society. Using all the tools learned from the global industry and the Boston metro area case studies we suggests a new senior housing product that will solve the challenge of serving the elderly population, while allowing the residents to age in place in an affordable assisted setting.

Real estate developers and investors have a vested interest in discovering new techniques for estimating the direction and magnitude of changes in residential rent within a neighborhood. This study hypothesizes, and finds evidence, that taxi activity is a proxy for changing income and neighborhood quality as well as an indicator of gentrification. Novel research is performed to determine if taxi activity is a significant predictor of rents in New York City at the neighborhood level. Nine OLS regression models are created using data about 1,466,234,991 taxi pickups and drop-offs, median rent, and median income across 188 neighborhoods in New York City in the years of 2010-2015. In all nine models, taxi activity is found to be a statistically significant predictor of rent at 99% confidence. This study finds that a I standard deviation positive shock in taxi drop-offs will result in a 0.009% 0.155% higher rent the next year on average.

Abstract:
This study uses content analysis and a controlled experiment as data generation methods to investigate the precise nature of the largely unexplored relationship between the content of real estate news and activities in the real estate market. The theoretical base of the research is Kahneman’s two system view (2003) of cognitive processing, which is applied to an individual’s decision-making about the residential real estate market. The affect heuristic provides the theoretical basis for studying the relationship between the emotional content of local media information and decision making in the residential real estate market. The research question seeks to measure the “framing effect” of news on real estate market activity. It is posited that the way local real estate news is framed will influence transaction prices and the number of pending sales. A behavioral approach is utilized to understand the underlying relationship between a residential real estate market and a news article to audiences; an effect called frame setting. It is conjectured that when media coverage about the real estate market is negative there is more downward pressure on the market compared to when media coverage is more objective and includes descriptive statistics on the current real estate market.

Abstract:
Although it remains small compared with advanced economies, in Ghana there is a growing residential stock which constitutes the basis of an emergent real estate investment market. Much of the recently constructed stock is income-producing rented accommodation, and falls in the formal sector of the market - where sale and leasing transactions are systematically documented in the records of the Ghana Land Valuation Board. The research presented in this thesis makes several contributions to knowledge and understanding of residential real estate markets in Ghana. First, and most fundamentally, it demonstrates that it is feasible to construct technically robust indicators of residential market performance from the records held by state agencies, through the construction of hedonic models which suggest processes of price determination are consistent with those found in other countries. Time series produced from these models, running from 1992 to 2007, document for the first time trends in capital values, rental values and investment returns for a substantial part of the Ghanaian residential market. This thesis also explores practical applications of the newly created residential performance indices. The current research examines the differentials in price determination and performance across the main submarkets of the Accra-Tema conurbation, the dynamics of change in market prices over time against economic and financial indicators, and the returns achieved on residential investment compared with Ghanaian equities and Treasury Bills. The results demonstrate that the residential market has seen strong rental and capital appreciation over the past fifteen years, yielding investment returns ahead of the high rate of general inflation. Compared with other Ghanaian asset classes, residential real estate shows both a rate of return and a level of risk which sit between those on fixed income and equities investments, in line with fundamental theory and experience in other countries. As in other countries, residential real estate returns show low correlations with those on equity and fixed income investments, suggesting a strong case for real estate in a multi-asset portfolio. Beyond the Ghanaian market, this thesis suggests the process of constructing residential indices from records held by state land registration and taxation authority may be replicable in other African countries where there are similar systems of land administration and management, provided that the task of data assembly and validation is feasible.

This paper examines why and how publicly-traded home builders might use index-based residential property derivatives to manage risk. After describing a number of alternative reasons for hedging, I argue for a paradigm for risk management proposed by Kenneth Froot, David Scharfstein and Jeremy Stein and augmented by Antonio Mello and John Parsons. According to this paradigm, the objective of hedging is to increase a firm's financial flexibility by maximizing its liquidity - slack in the form of cash or unused debt capacity - when falling output prices reduce income and make it difficult to raise external financing, but do not reduce the firm's need for funds. An important implication of this paradigm is that attempting to eliminate volatility in the value of a firm is not an optimal hedging objective, and attempting to do so can, in fact, reduce the value of the firm. To illustrate how this paradigm might be used by public home builders it is applied to two hypothetical firms, each with a different capital structure and regional focus, and the potential benefits of hedging for each firm is discussed. The discussion then turns to the available real estate derivative products and how they can be employed as hedging vehicles. Key issues pertaining to the design of hedging vehicles are examined, including 1) how to choose a derivative contract, 2) how to choose an index or indices to use as the asset underlying the hedging vehicle and 3) how to address misalignment between the time to expiration of available derivatives contracts and the development time frames of residential communities. Evidence is presented that suggests hedging vehicles based on multi-market composite indices will probably have too much basis risk to effectively hedge against downturns in the prices of some builders' homes.
(cont.) Finally, I describe a methodology for determining whether and how much a firm should hedge.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to provide an approach to real estate residential modeling and forecasting covering property types’ correlation, time series attributes within a region or a city, and socio-economic attributes of preferred real estate locations. The thesis covers residential estate markets and concentrates on property types, while previous studies that have considered country wide house price indices. There is a gap identified in the literature in the need to study correlations between property types within a region or a city and whether they will provide diversification benefits for real estate investors such as risk reduction per unit of returns. The thesis concentrates on property type seasonality in addition to modeling time series attributes within a region or city instead of real estate index seasonality. This thesis the first to combine modern information systems techniques such as geographic information systems (GIS) with socio-economic factors to help understanding causal relationships that can be used to forecast real estate prices. The results show that it is more achievable to forecast real estate prices within a city than for the real estate market of the entire country. The GIS and socio-economic modeling results show that higher property prices are awarded to real estate with more green spaces, residents with higher disposable incomes, lower council tax bands, fewer tax benefits claimants, and better health services. Previous studies have examined real estate price indices at the macro level (the general, all real estate house price indices). There has not been a study that examines real estate price forecasts by property types within a city. The contribution of this thesis is its focus on time series analysis as well as causal modeling within a city with the objective of providing a better understanding of the dynamics of real estate price changes.
