Content
In this unit students focus on the interesting area of undertaking data analysis in property markets using different statistical analysis such as hedonic modelling and regression analysis. Property market analysis is an increasing important role in society where property indicators are identified and analysed. This process is assisted by the use of GIS to enable spatial mapping of different property markets. The unit examines the process for undertaking research in the property and real estate fields and how to overcome barriers to accessing market information.
