The Nature of Real Estate and Real
Estate market
Chapter 1
Real Estate Principles ( David ling)
Real Estate
Bundle of property rights may be limited in numerous ways (i.e. land use
restrictions).
Rights can be distributed to multiple owners and non-owners.
The value of bundle of rights is a function of the property’s physical, locational and
As Industry and Profession
Refer to the industry activities associated with evaluation, producing, acquiring,
managing, and selling real property assets.
Heterogeneity Immobility
Due to these two factors the buying, selling and leasing of real estate tends to be
localized and highly segmented, with privately negotiated transactions and high
transaction costs.
Heterogeneous Product
Real estate tends to be heterogeneous, meaning that each property has unique
features and can be distinguished from one another.
For real estate, however, age, building design, and especially location combine to
give each property distinctive characteristics.
Even in residential neighborhoods with very similar houses, the locations differ.
Corner lots have different locational features than interior lots; their access to
parks and transportation routes may differ, and the traffic patterns within the
neighborhood create differences.
Immobile Products
Real estate is immobile. Although it is sometimes physically possible to move a
building from one location to another, this is generally not financially feasible.
The vast majority of structures removed from the land are demolished rather than
moved.
Another term for location is access. For households it is access to school,
shopping, entertainment, and places of employment. For commercial properties it
may be access to customers, the labor force, or suppliers. The nuances of access
are fundamental to real estate value.
Localized Market
Real estate markets tend to be localized.
By this we mean that the potential users of a property, and competing sites,
generally lie within a short distance of each other.
For example, competing apartment properties may lie within 15 minutes, or less,
in driving time from each other, while competing properties of single-family
residences may tend to be within a single elementary school district or even within
a small number of similar subdivisions.
Clearly, the market for a neighborhood shopping center is very localized. Such
centers usually draw the majority of their customers from within a five-mile
radius, or less.
Segmented Market
Real estate markets tend to be highly segmented due to the heterogeneous nature of the
products. Households that search for single-family detached units in the market will
generally not consider other residential product types such as an attached townhouse unit
or condominium.
In addition, real estate is segmented by product price. The same holds true, although to a
lesser extent, in the commercial property market. Commercial property markets are
segmented by both users and investors. Larger, more valuable commercial properties,
generally well over $10 million, are often referred to as investment-grade properties, or
institutional-grade real estate.
The localized nature of real estate markets also contributes to segmentation and explains
why rents and prices for otherwise similar property can vary significantly across
metropolitan markets and even submarkets within a given metropolitan area.
