The increasing competitiveness in the market entails the development of logistics activities by organizations. These activities are performed by management of purchasing, storage, warehouse, distribution and transport. Therefore, the materials to be distributed are stored in specific locations which are called logistic properties, and should be properly evaluated and used appropriately with respect to the needs not only of the market, but the existing rules. This study aims to verify the methodologies for evaluating property and might be adopted to the case of logistics properties. With this purpose an exploratory and descriptive study was done through bibliographic searches This study concluded that while there are several methods for evaluating properties, the most appropriate for logistic properties is the quantification of cost method. RESUMO A crescente competitividade no mercado acarreta o desenvolvimento das atividades logísticas, por parte das organizações, sendo essas atividades compostas pela gestão de compras, estocagem, armazenagem, distribuição e transportes. Logo, os materiais, até serem distribuídos, são armazenados em locais específicos, os quais são denominados imóveis logísticos, devendo ser avaliados e seu uso devidamente adequado às exigências não só do mercado, mas às regulamentações existentes. O presente estudo objetiva verificar as metodologias de avaliação dos imóveis, bem como as passíveis de serem adotadas em se tratando de imóveis logísticos. Com tal propósito foram efetuadas pesquisas bibliográficas associadas a um estudo exploratório e descritivo. Através deste estudo, foi possível verificar, entre outros aspectos, que existem diversos métodos de avaliação imobiliária, entretanto, nem todos se aplicam ao tipo de imóvel tratado neste estudo (logísticos), sendo o mais adequado, neste caso, o método da quantificação do custo.

The housing market cycle had always, has and will have growth and drops in property prices in all cities in the same or different times. Despite the real estate market analysis is important in any decision for investment in real estate, it can not detect clearly whether this market is going through a phase of speculation or normal growth. It is therefore important to know when it comes to a normal growth of the housing market and when growth becomes speculative. The first case is desirable and necessary for the city. The second case can be good, as in most of the growth, but can also turn into a pure speculation for the purpose of a drop in real estate prices. The causes of speculative growth are several. These vary by country, the period of speculation, the real estate habit among other economic and non-economic variables. The aim of this study is to present reasons for the speculative growth in housing market. Methodologically this study is characterized as descriptive and exploratory research conducted by field research and research ex post facto. In the recent (and numerous) cases of speculative growth analzyed, in 101 cities in 10 countries, this article identified several causes, which can be divided into cluster. Among the founded causes have it: tax cuts, tax incentives and government subsidies; disregard of fundamental data and real estate market data, investment of domestic and foreign capital, loans and reduced interest rates, political changes, and fast-growing economy. Not always there is only one issue that created a speculative bubble. Often, the ideas of governments to develop and support the housing market going the good time, and ultimately cause worse problems in the future.
