Drivers of spatial change in urban housing submarkets
Spatial urban housing submarkets are now widely used constructs. Recent housing market modelling strategies have emphasised the need for flexibility in modelling approaches in order to best accommodate submarkets which account for spatial variations in hedonic prices. But this raises important unanswered questions concerning the stability of submarket structures over time, and the role of housing market dynamics in breaking down or shifting subma…
The Predictive Performance of Multilevel Models of Housing Sub-markets
Much of the housing sub-market literature has focused on establishing methods that allow the partitioning of data into distinct market segments. This paper seeks to move the focus on to the question of how best to model sub-markets once they have been identified. It focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of multilevel models as a technique for modelling sub-markets. The paper uses data on housing transactions from Perth, Western Australia, to de…
Accuracy and Robustness of House Price Index Methods
We evaluate the statistical properties of five different house price index methods with the objective of identifying one that is most accurate and robust when estimated at frequent time intervals and for distinctly local markets. We adopt a split-sample technique to establish a consistent basis for comparison of the different price index methods. Our results demonstrate that if suitable data is available for estimation of price indexes, the arbit…
Towards a System of Local House Price Indices
This paper argues that understanding of the performance and price structure of urban housing markets in the UK would be enhanced by limited investment in comprehensive systems for collecting data on housing transactions. These data would allow the construction of reliable and accurate indices at different levels of spatial aggregation. The empirical part of the paper uses data from the Western Australian Valuer General's Office to illustrate the …
