    Since the global economic crisis of 2007–08 an increasing amount of attention has been directed to the links between the financial system and the real estate industry. This paper ties to this discussion insofar as it focuses on the relationship between the methodology of property valuation and the recent non-agency or subprime crisis. After a brief discussion of the crisis various questions are raised concerning both the theoretical background and the application of property valuation, property management and automated valuation modelling. Despite the magnitude of the crisis in terms of the financial loss suffered, our observation is that the mainstream real estate academia is still essentially preoccupied with the task of integrating financial and property markets. Apparently, after the crisis financial models based on the concept of perpetual increasing income are still used, and deterministic relations between value and property characteristics still constitute the dominant paradigm. In the hope of avoiding repeating the errors that led to the crisis we identify the need to analyse this crisis from a property valuation point of view. We contend that in-depth analysis of the tools used in property valuation is necessary to understand why and how valuation methods should be improved given recent experiences

    This chapter is an innovative way to expand the current theory of value formation: for both organic value creation and intentional price setting mechanisms and processes alike. It provides a link to the economic sustainability concept and, in that way, to the broader sustainable real-estate debate. To set the agenda for developing new thoughts on value, valuation and sustainability in the built environment, the chapter summarizes the argumentation. It discusses a recognised ‘gap’ between the difficulties of valuation and the competence or awareness of individuals to sort the given difficulties. The identification of ‘gaps’ meshes sustainable development laggardness, ethical issues and other problematic circumstances. The most significant gap is in the lack of political awareness in the profession about the changes in value systems that have occurred particularly over the last 30 years. This is mainly due to the impact of neo-liberal political economic thinking on ethics and knowledg

    The application of automated valuation methodology (AVM) procedure to income approach normally deals with direct capitalization. This happens although the great diffusion of discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. The main objectives of paper are twofold: first, we aim to propose an AVM procedure based on the relationship between the DCF inputs and outputs. Second, we seek to determine discount rate and local risk premium in the case of Bari commercial market The study also refines discussions on risk premium factor in the regressed DCF application. The study also and identifies the room for enhancing the suggested methodology. The solution proposed is the model A of Regressed DCF (d’Amato and Kauko 2012)
