The purpose of this paper is to compare the performance of two real estate pricing techniques, hedonic regression and grid-adjustment techniques. The grid-adjustment technique is a combination of the market method and the hedonic regression method. It integrates the hedonic regression into the adjustment process of the market method to reduce the barely unavoidable subjectivity during the adjustment process. The results of our investigation are as follows: (1) Overall speaking, grid-adjustment approach is superior to hedonic regression approach in terms of the predicting performance; (2) The log-linear functional form is the most appropriate for hedonic equation among linear, exponential and log-linear forms. (3) Because of the differences in the development of different areas, the major factors influencing real estate price may be different. Hence, the specification of hedonic equations may be also different in different areas. |
