New housing price index model predicts market trends with precision.
The article explores different ways to calculate housing price indexes using hedonic models. They focus on models that consider changes in coefficients over time and spatial errors in prices. They compare different methods and find that the model with time-varying parameters and spatial errors performs the best, while the rolling-window model performs the worst. The study also identifies three periods of housing price increases in Brisbane from 1985 to 2005.
