The Market Valuation of Interior Design and Developers Strategies: A Simple Theory and Some Evidence

Abstract: How much do the market values of housing reflect its interior design? Does the interior design interact with other housing attributes? Following the recent research based on "graph theory," this paper confirms the importance of internal design variables in a hedonic pricing model, which is applied to a large dataset of high-rise apartment buildings in Asia. The evidence is consistent with a simple theory that developers strategically use interior design to "dilute" the effect of location, which leads to a form… Show more

“…Compared to Table A3, the goodness of fit was improved (measured by Adj. R 2 ), while the signs of the metro index were back to positive and 10% significant for both clusters as required by the constraint (8), which reflects the positive relation between commuting time saving and land value [70].…”

“…If were revisit Constraint (8), it is clear that the coefficient of the metro index not only depends on the value of the metro index, but also on all the other covariate variables, because the OLS estimator for every single coefficient is essentially a function of the full input data matrix. Therefore, apart from the housing market, many important pieces of information regarding urban structure are also encoded by this constraint, such as the relative position between the living zone and CBD, education centers, industrial centers, and so on.…”

“…To mitigate the potential competitive pressure from other developers, a developer has incentives to shape a real estate development (RED) to make it even more differentiated from those produced by the competitors and to increase her market power (Gnagey, 2012;Leung et al, 2014;Somervile, 1999). Also, a developer can adjust the prices and the timing mechanism to maximize her profit.…”

“…The next influencing factor for housing product is the physical qualities of the product being offered to consumers. This factor includes façade characteristics (Cetintahra and Cubukcu, 2014), infrastructure condition (Kwanda et al (2001); Famuyiwa & Babawale (2014), product specifications (Kwanda et al, (2001) and Epple et al,(2013), and floor plan design (Xie et al (2013), Aulia & Ismail (2013) and Leung et al (2013).…”
