Real Estate Market Analysis and Forecasting
by T. McGough and Sotiris Tsolacos
Published 31 May 2005
The authors provide a descriptive account of the processes involved in property market forecasting, with a strong critical reflective element running through the chapters. A careful introduction is given to the technical issues of forecasting and then real estate topics are used to demonstrate practical applications. The book will start with an assumption of basic statistical knowledge and deal with the main modelling techniques in the real estate field. The aim is not to provide a mathematical analysis of modelling, but a guide to and assessment of standard modelling techniques. Econometrics is the applications of mathematical and statistical techniques to economics in the analysis of data, and the development and testing of theories and models. The use and abuse of econometrics in real estate will be discussed and new developments in modelling examined, as well as how these changes are being received in the real estate world.
