Fundamental to valuation are the economic principles of real estate markets. We will examine how real estate is affected by basic supply and demand features, different land use patterns, government restrictions and competition from alternative capital investments.Upon establishing the basic underlying forces of the real estate market, we will cover in detail the three traditional valuation methodologies: Sales Comparison, Cost, and Income Approaches. Each of these approaches will be practically applied to various property types in case study problems. Most emphasis, however, will be applied to the Income Approach as it probably best typifies the buyer/seller relationship for the variety of income producing commercial properties we will be analyzing in class. At least once during the semester the class will host a visiting lecturer of special expertise in market research and/or in sophisticated real estate transactions. Microcomputers will be used in the analysis and valuation of complex income producing properties. Objectives
