- c06n 9y agoYes you can greatly enhance it, here is a thorough review of the state of the art: http://www.highiqpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Morrison_Chein2011.pdf http://www.highiqpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Morrison...

- MichaelBurge 9y agoSort of reminds me of how it's actually impossible to accurately value real estate. If you measure square footage, people will just fill the building with superfluous Hilbert curves. If you try to measure number of bathrooms or number of bedrooms, people will just make apartment complexes filled with dollhouses. If you try to measure profit(directly or from imputed rent), people will set up fake corporations and pay themselves outrageous sums of rent. So all of these measures are worthless and it's impossible to value real estate, because they can each be gamed and so are unable to be used to make any predictions.
- eveningcoffee 9y ago> it's actually impossible to accurately value real estate. Do you mean measure it accurately based on a single metric?

- fenomas 9y agoThis claim seems backwards. If you tried to determine the value of real estate from an arbitrary metric, then sure, people would game it. But if value is determined by a market, like it is in the real world, surely you can observe the metrics and then use them to predict what value the market will arrive at (independently from your prediction), can't you?
