Working Groups

Working Group 9.5 - GIS-analyses in Real Estate Market Analyses and Valuation

Policy Issues

The world is digitalising very fast. Also in valuation and real estate analyses the digital methods are gaining a footing. Spatial data is nowadays mainly digitalised, and automated valuation models (AVM) are used especially in mass appraisals. The valuers and real estate analysts have to adopt the use of digital tools and methods to be able to serve their client even in the future. Otherwise there is a threat to become a bystander or an assistant when other expert groups expand their scope. The idea for the WG is especially to get discussions about the new developing digital methods in valuation and real estate market analyses in FIG. Participants will get information of new ways to do analyses, get new ideas and test old ones. In addition people will participate much eager when they feel they really can learn something new in the FIG working weeks and conferences.
