Abstract

Attempts to analyse the importance of transportation in determining house prices in Hong Kong. Residential property is sold as a package of inherent attributes that are valued by consumers and this analysis classifies them into the following categories: structural, physical and environmental. Specifically, these determinants of housing price include structural attributes such as size, age and floor level of the housing units; amenities such as accessibility to various means of transport; and factors determining the quality of the environment such as availability of recreational facilities. In this study, data were obtained from a large residential area in Hong Kong. Uses a Hedonic price model for estimating the importance of each of the defined utility‐bearing attributes on house prices.
