Determinants of house prices in Turkey: A hedonic regression model
Abstract
In real estate valuation and house market research, house prices and rental value are generally analyzed by hedonic model based on micro economic theory. Hedonic model examines the effect of characteristics of goods on their prices. Factors that determine the house prices in Turkey are analyzed in this paper using 2004 Household Budget Survey Data. The most important variables that affect house rents are type of house, type of building, number of rooms, size, and other structural characteristics such as water system, pool, natural gas.
