Abstract

LOPEZ-ARREDONDO, Laura P.; PEREZ, Cynthia B.; CASTRO, Luis A.  and  RODRIGUEZ, Luis-Felipe. Study about the Perception of Factors Involved in Housing Price Estimation: The Case of Cajeme. Inf. tecnol. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.2, pp.11-24. ISSN 0718-0764.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-07642019000200011.

This work aims at obtaining the necessary information for identifying the perceived factors of higher or lower impact during the housing valuation process. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted, and analyzed using Grounded Theory. The results of this work suggest that both buyers and sellers of households perceive the location, proportions and housing conditions as determining factors to estimate the value of these properties. The results of this work can be used to improve the design of predictive models for real estate which are used in online platforms. Furthermore, the study provides the bases to establish the variables or parameters used in the predictive algorithm for estimating housing prices in the southern region of the state of Sonora, Mexico.

Keywords : qualitative research; grounded theory; determining factors; housing valuation; real estate market; real estate buyers.
