Significant determinants of house price include construction cost, income per capita, urban rent expense, and lending rate. Our findings show statistically significant and dynamic determinant effects on the apartment prices of 10 urban districts of Ha Noi. There are signs of volatility clustering in the GARCH effect at nine districts’ apartment prices, all with magnified effects. Amongst the ordinary least square (OLS), robust least squares (RLS) and bootstrap technique, RLS presents more significant fundamentals with higher Rs squared than the OLS and bootstrap on individual districts and overall Hanoi apartment prices. We find signs of price bubbles in the first quarter of 2015. While this quantitative analysis is limited to the north of Vietnam, the findings also provide insights into other significant centres of Vietnam. It also provides a basis for apartment price forecasts to the stakeholders in the housing market of Vietnam, investment decision-making and portfolio management for both household investors and mortgage investors. The study outcomes can be used to forecast the volatility dynamics of the expanded types of dwellings.","PeriodicalId":44302,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Rim Property Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49330859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After reviewing key salient literary and legal aspects, the paper provides empirical material from Australia derived from British common law, and Taiwan derived from civil law. The underlying flaw is revealed in the premise that increased development potential through zoning necessarily directly or indirectly results in rising property values. The authors also posit there is an absence of methodological discourse between property rights holders, land use planners and legislators on value capture. Furthermore, there are the justifiable expectations of the community regarding rising property values and subsequent value capture to fund the provision of major infrastructure such as roads and railways. While commentators on both sides of the debate seek a transparent set of value capture outcomes to establish precedents for the future, the likelihood of such attempts being questionable. To attempt a solution without dealing with all of these intertwining issues is to risk perpetuating the disconnect between good and well understood planning law and professional practice.","PeriodicalId":44302,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Rim Property Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42761634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research was conducted using a questionnaire survey. The study’s population consists of landlords, estate surveyors and valuers, real estate agents, and building material suppliers/sellers in the study area. Data obtained was analysed employing descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The results showed that house rents and building material prices maintained an upward trend within the study period. Changes in house rents correlated with some percentage changes in the prices of selected building materials (cement, roofing sheet, reinforcement bar, sand and tiles). However, all the correlations are not statistically significant at 0.05 level. The regression model’s coefficient of determination R-squared revealed that building material costs explained about 43.6% of the variation in house rents. This result implies that factors other than building material costs may influence the changes in the house rents. The study’s finding will be valuable to stakeholders making real estate investment decisions in the study area and similar developing economies in general.","PeriodicalId":44302,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Rim Property Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45277463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most of them seemingly mix it up with numerical superstition and seldom consider genuine Feng Shui factors except water view. Others simply treat those elements as environmental attributes and miss the most essential ingredient underlying Feng Shui’s Form School approach – orientation of dwellings. Moreover, under Compass School approach, there are entirely different meaning of the digits 1 to 9. Using a local private residential estate, we collect 622 sales transactions over 2018Q1 – 2021Q3 for analysis. We encompass diverse Feng Shui variables in a log-linear hedonic model and assess their price impacts. We find that southwest is the best facing direction of houses under Period 8. Whereas sea view can fetch a price premium of 2.46%, a great discount of 6.45% has to be offered for a residence facing Sha Qi. As Sha Qi diminishes with higher floors, homebuyers are willing to pay extra 0.1% for each upper floor. Hong Kong residents appear not numerological superstitious, but they do favor certain environmental attributes in accord with Feng Shui.","PeriodicalId":44302,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Rim Property Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44619948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, Julian Diaz III made a bold attempt to use ontological constructs to help define conceptual boundaries of the real estate discipline. The paper begins by reviewing Diaz III’s key conceptualizations of real estate in terms of real estate as applied science and real estate as a bundle of activities. It then proceeds to evaluate these conceptualizations and use them to develop the theory of dualism in real estate discipline. Two dualistic models are identified: the Physical Model of Real Estate and the Business Model of Real Estate. Thereafter, the paper uses this dualistic realization to repudiate the conceptualization of real estate as an appendage of engineering or business profession. Finally, the paper advocates for the conceptualization of real estate as an independent discipline.","PeriodicalId":44302,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Rim Property Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47413495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, studies show that valuers largely still adopt traditional methods of valuation. Hence, this study investigates the barriers, drivers, and prospects of the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) valuation methods in practice. An online questionnaire survey was conducted on valuers practising in Australia. Their opinions about the topic were collected and analysed using frequency distribution and mean score ranking to establish the most significant factors. According to the valuers, the most important advantage of AI valuation methods is that they will help to reduce the cost of valuations. It was also found that the professional bodies that regulate the property valuation practice are the major driver of the adoption of AI valuation methods. The valuers expressed that AI valuation methods may produce accurate estimates. The valuers confirmed that the main prospect of adopting the AI valuation methods in practice is that it could transform the property valuation industry. It is evident that all the property valuation stakeholders should invest efforts in promoting the adoption of AI valuation methods in practice to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This will help reposition the property valuation profession.","PeriodicalId":44302,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Rim Property Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48297921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary aim of this paper is to canvass how those elements of traditional concepts of solatium as one of the heads of compensation ought now be viewed in the light of the defining High Court decision in Northern Territory v Griffiths [2019] HCA 7. However, a secondary aim (of the authors) is also to give consideration as to how the notion of solatium now fits in the broader Constitutional framework of the heads of compensation for private property rights compulsorily acquired.

We argue that analysing the valuation techniques applied in assessing compensation for land use deprivation in the context of current legal provisions facilitates a better understanding of the issues fuelling community dissatisfaction with compensation awards. Data produced through document analysis and interviews with 39 farmers, government officials, chiefs, private valuers, and officials of Newmont Goldcorp’s Ahafo Mine and Asanko Gold Ghana Limited were analysed in the context of the current legal framework for expropriation. Interview transcripts were coded based on themes and analysed using the constant comparison method. The findings reveal that the valuation techniques for assessing compensation for land use deprivation disregard fundamental compensation principles outlined under law. The study also exposes the weaknesses in the valuation techniques in assessing compensation for farmlands that mining may impair permanently. Towards ensuring fairness in compensating mining-impacted farmers, this study recommends additional legal directives to streamline the methods for assessing compensation for land use deprivation. The consequences of the limitations in the valuation methods on expropriated farmers are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":44302,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Rim Property Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41737317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
