    1. Introduction

    *his #a#er introduces a ne8 8ay of modelin$ residential home #rices that may hel#

    #roduce more accurate and timely forecasts of them) Accurate and timely forecasts of

    home #rices clearly hel# home o8ners, develo#ers, financial institutions, and $overnment

    a$encies make better decisions) ;or many decades, hedonic #rice models demonstrated

    that the #rice of a house is mainly de#endent on its attributes) *hose attributes ty#ically

    included house characteristics such as buildin$ s9uare foota$e, number of bedrooms,

    revie8 of the early literature) Recent use of $eo$ra#hic information systems +ollako8ski +404- addressed concerns about the functional form to use in their

    estimation) *he com#lication is mainly due to s#atial autocorrelation) ?ike tem#oral

    autocorrelation, s#atial autocorrelation reduces the efficacy of forecasts obtained 8hen

    usin$ standard statistical modelin$ techni9ues) >rior 8ork that addressed s#atial

    de#endence either considered $eo$ra#hical coordinates as e2#lanatory variables in the #rice

    model +Cla##, !"- or modeled the re$ression residuals s#atially +Basu and *hibodeau,

    40-) Most e2istin$ models @ both strictly hedonic or those that address s#atial de#endence

    @ focus on #arsimony of estimated e9uations and #roduce outofsam#le #redictions of #rices

    for homes sold durin$ the same time #eriod) *he sam#le to forecast and measure model

    efficacy ty#ically consists of a 8ithheld #ercent of the sam#le of data available to conduct the

    research) *his means that the time dimension is absent in those models and as a result the

    forecasts are less useful 8hen makin$ future decisions since #rices of homes chan$e over

    attem#t is made in this #a#er to introduce ne8 methodolo$y to resolve any of the t8o

    #roblems) ?o$ical mani#ulations are used to circumvent s#atial correlation1 and e2istin$

    methodolo$y is used to resolve #roblems 8ith estimatin$ #anel data) ?o$ical

    mani#ulations mainly involve redefinin$ the sco#e of the de#endent variable and

    therefore the inde#endent variables) Rather than estimatin$ a model of individual

    property prices, a model that estimates average neighborhood home pricesis considered

    instead) *his lo$ical mani#ulation is #ossible if it is assumed that homes in a s#ecific

    3. The Data

    A detailed data set containin$ individual sales and attributes of homes sold in the four

    selected counties in Southern California 8as obtained from Jatauick +!3-) 5ot all

    cities in the four counties had consistent data and some had incom#lete data) Com#lete

    data 8ith consistent variables 8ere identified for four cities Burbank +BB-, Carlsbad

    +CB-, Redlands +RJ-, and Riverside +RS-) Si2 years +!!3- of available data for the

    four cities are selected) :nly si2 years are used because they cover a #eriod of time 8ith

    a##ro2imately consistent lendin$ rules) 7t is a #eriod 8hen banks facilitated borro8in$

    8ith ne8 lendin$ conditions such as interest only #ayments and other lendin$ rules that

    led to historically relatively lo8 do8n #ayments and lo8 monthly mort$a$e #ayments)

    *he #eriod +!!3- is thus selected to minimiEe structural chan$es in lendin$ rules

    that may render inconsistent model estimation results) Jata of the first five years +!

    then be used to test the efficacy of oneyearahead forecasts the models deliver)

    4. Methodology

    Similar to standard hedonic individual#rice models, multi#le re$ression methods a##ly

    8hen estimatin$ average#rice models) *he avera$e nei$hborhood #rice is the de#endent

    variable and the vector of attributes #rovides the set of inde#endent variables) Because

    the data of avera$e nei$hborhood #rices and attributes is a combination of crosssectional

    and time series observations or #anel data, standard :?S multi#le re$ression are not

    suitable as mentioned earlier) *he method to use for #anel data is the random-effects+or
