Attempt of applying AHP method to evaluate the influence of changes of real estate features on the estate value

Introduction of market principles into the real estate management has made it necessary to perform market valuation. Since that time, we have been observing the development of valuation methodology aimed at the best possible approximation of the received result to the market value, understood as the most likely price possible to be obtained on the real estate market [Real Property Management Act 1997]. In case of unimproved real estates, the most frequently used valuation methods are those belonging to the comparative approach, where the property value is calculated on the basis of transaction prices reported on the local real estate market. The condition of accurate application of the comparative approach in practice is the existence of the stable and developed real estate market. Owing to this, it is possible to collect a suitable number of data in order to indicate price-related attributes and determine the scope of their influence upon price differences. The above-mentioned comparative approach requires performance of the whole estimation procedure every time when a change of at least one feature describing the object of the valuation takes place.

Aspects of application of active databases in real estate valuation

The valuation process which results market value of real estate is based on the data involving both transaction prices and characteristics of a given transaction object. Features characterizing real estate, affect on variability of prices and in this case their accuracy directly influence on the result of valuation. The description of the transaction object in the notarial deed mainly involves the legal status of real estate while its physical features are usually omitted. This information can be supplemented on the basis of the collections of data contained in real estate cadastre, reconnaissance, data collections included in surveying documentation centres or information possessed by departments of architecture and civil engineering of municipality offices. However, such supplementation is timeconsuming and costly. The active databases presented in this paper can be used in the valuation process as a source of information on real estate being the object of transactions, which will considerably improve the quality and accuracy of the obtained valuation result. ...
