Real Estate Valuation Theory

This
monograph critically reviews and updates real estate valuation theory, which is
based on neoclassical economics, in light of developments in heterodox economic
theory. Building on a comprehensive historical account of the evolution of
value theory, the book uses new institutional economics theory and critical
realism as lenses through which problems in standard valuation theory and
practice are expatiated, and as the foundation for an alternative theory. The
new theory is employed to explain major problems in real estate valuation that
are beyond the capability of the standard theory, such as price bubbles in real
estate markets, anchoring bias, client influence and
valuation under uncertain market conditions.
