The authors provide here 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 aim is to provide a guide to and assessment of standard modelling techniques. The text could be supported by data and models downloadable from our website. 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.
