From a small northwestern observatory…

I just finished participating in the 26th annual meetings of the American Real Estate Society, one of the world’s premier real estate academic groups. Participants are a mix of academics (both U.S. and global) as well as senior-level researchers from the private sector and the government.

There was a significant focus on valuation models — lots of discussion of where the appraisal industry and methodology are headed. I’ll elaborate more on this in the April issue of The Greenfield Advisor, our semi-monthly newsletter, which will come out later this month.
