COURSE OBJECTIVES AND DESCRIPTION:
This course is an analytical survey of the leading issues associated with the analysis of real
estate markets. This course builds upon the introductory courses, R M 303: Real Estate
Fundamentals or R M 330W: Real Estate Risk Analysis. In this course, we provide an
economic perspective on how and why real estate markets function the way they do. The
course adopts historical, analytical, and contemporary perspectives of several of the central
issues in real estate analysis.
The outline provides a “road map” of the itinerary for this course. We begin with some
introductory topics, and then we evaluate real estate within the urban environment. We
next investigate real property as rights and the regulation of land, including the takings
controversy. The core of the journey takes us to the Real Estate Trilogy: real estate
valuation, real estate investment analysis and real estate finance. We continue with an
assessment of real estate, the financial crisis, and lastly addressing some local real estate
issues in Pennsylvania.
Welcome to the world of real estate analysis!

COURSE GRADING AND EVALUATION
This course is intended for junior and senior students who are interested in modern real estate

economics, finance, and the introductory real estate course upon which to build. The evaluation of
performance in this course will be based upon two non-accumulative midterm exams, one
accumulative final exam, six assignments, one project, one in-class presentations and class
participation. In addition to the textbooks, there will be several handouts used throughout the
semester. There will also be detailed class notes available via ANGEL to accompany the class
3
lectures. The details of the exams, assignments will be provided later.
