This paper presents empirical insights from non-distressed auctions of single-family-houses using a rich dataset from Sweden. We confirm several findings from the literature and add significant new insights on the dynamics of auctions. We find that underpricing increases the number of bidders...

Markets for property space adjust only gradually because tenants are constrained by long-term leases and landlords and tenants face transactions and information costs. Not only do rents adjust slowly, but space occupancy may differ from demand at current rent, giving rise to quot;hidden...

Markets for property space adjust only gradually because tenants are constrained by long-term leases and landlords and tenants face transactions and information costs. Not only do rents adjust slowly, but space occupancy may differ from demand at current rent, giving rise to "hidden vacancies"....

This study investigates the determinants of key input variables in valuers' DCF models used for estimating market values for offices. Data from 599 valuations in 2000 from Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo are used to explain variation in discount rates, expected growth rates in net operating...

This paper investigates the relation between the term structure of rents and future spot rents. A rich database of office rental agreements for various maturities is used to estimate the term structure of rents, and from this structure implicit forward rents are extracted. The data pertain to...
