A Methodology for Constructing Vacant Land Price Indices

Abstract

Existing estimates of movements in vacant land prices are limited to a few metropolitan areas and infrequent time intervals. This paper develops a new methodology for estimating vacant land price trends for subareas within states and metropolitan areas. It utilizes data from a sales ratio study, a large database available in most states. The methodology uses assessed value to control for “hedonic characteristics” associated with the property and its location. A model is developed to correct assessed value for measurement errors. Statistical results for forty‐one Connecticut towns indicate that the model provides a reasonable compromise between data availability and accuracy of price trend estimates.
