Adjustment in Commercial Real Estate

Finally some meetings of the minds?
Posted by John McClelland on August 23, 2010 in  uncategorized

A visit to the Cosmopolitan

This will be the newest thing for a long time...
Posted by John McClelland on January 03, 2011 in  uncategorized
Cosmopolitan opened on the 15th of December and I finally made it there yesterday. The property cost $3.9 Billion and has 2,995 rooms. This is actually a significant increase in the available room supply on the strip. The word about employment that we are hearing is that the property has about 5,000 employees.

A new price index

Hedonic Index
Posted by John McClelland on December 02, 2010 in  uncategorized
FNC,Inc has developed and published a new home price index using a hedonic, rather than repeat sale method. Basically, the hedonic approach uses price as the dependent variable and the characteristics of the homes sold as regressors (ie, home size, age, location, etc.).

By employing this method, FNC,Inc hopes to overcome some of the problems associated with repeat sales. One being a sample selectio... read more
