Explaining the Variability of Apartment Rents
使用回归分析，基于凤凰城都会区的公寓数据，检验了影响租金差异的因素，发现房屋特征变量同样适用于公寓，但公共区域设施的影响有所不同，对评估师、物业经理和可行性分析师有参考价值。
The research reported here uses regression analysis to analyze rent variations in a sample of apartment data from the Phoenix metropolitan area. Many of the variables used in hedonic price studies of houses are found to be significant in explaining variations in apartment rent. There are differences between hedonic studies of houses and apartments particularly with respect to common area features or amenities. The analysis of various submarkets also produced interesting results. Various uses can be made of the results of this and similar studies by appraisers (market‐derived adjustments), property managers (setting rents) and feasibility analysts (the design of apartment projects).
