AbstractTaking into account that the transparency is a quality of communication of sustainability information, as well as the role of digitalisation in ensuring the transparency, we proposed to study the perception of real estate entities related to promoting transparency in the relationship with stakeholders and the integration of information and communication technology in their business models. Applying a qualitative approach, we critically analysed the sustainability reports published by real estate companies from the EU, which represent important non-financial information sources for stakeholders. Transparency is mainly reflected in corporate governance, as real estate entities are increasingly concerned with maintaining open relationships with stakeholders and knowing their expectations to integrate them into the business strategy. We have noticed a broader approach of transparency in REIT entities and in reports that include an assurance statement. New digital technologies serve the purpose of improving transparency, which, although still poorly explored in real estate, offer new solutions to increase the efficiency and productivity of real estate activities. Property technology can improve real estate market transparency and liquidity, bringing lower transaction costs, which should positively impact the value of investment assets.

Abstract The article aimed to present the dependencies between the transparency of the real estate market and the level of foreign investments realized on it. For developers on the real estate market, a key element, other than potential profits, may be the market’s transparency. The main feature of a transparent real estate market is easy access to credible data concerning supply and demand, rent, property prices, transactions, vacant houses and capitalization rates that could be the basis for analysis. Market transparency does not guarantee the success of an investment, but considerably influences investment decisions and the level of risk connected with them.

Purpose – Real estate market transparency is an important factor in real estate investment and occupier decision making. The purpose of this paper is to assess real estate transparency over 2004-2014 to determine whether the European real estate markets have become more transparent in a regional and global context. Design/methodology/approach – Using the JLL real estate transparency index over 2004-2014, changes in real estate market transparency are assessed for 102 real estate markets. This JLL real estate market transparency index is also assessed against corruption levels and business competitiveness in these markets. Findings – Improvements in real estate transparency are clearly evident in many European real estate markets, with several of these European real estate markets seen to be the major improvers in transparency from a global real estate markets perspective. Practical implications – Institutional investors and occupiers see real estate market transparency as a key factor in their strategic real estate investment and occupancy decision making. By assessing changes in real estate transparency across 102 real estate markets, investors and occupiers are able to make more informed real estate investment decisions across the global real estate markets. In particular, this relates to both investors and occupiers being able to more fully understand the risk dimensions of their international real estate decisions. Originality/value – This paper is the first paper to assess the dynamics of real estate market transparency over 2004-2014, with a particular focus on the 33 European real estate markets in a global context to facilitate more informed real estate investment and occupancy decision making.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide new empirical evidence on the important role of market transparency in international real estate investment. Design/methodology/approach The authors apply the augmented panel regression method (or the correlated random effects approach) by using national panel data from 44 countries from 2004 to 2016. Findings Countries with better accessibility to market information and higher enforceability of regulations have less information asymmetry and attract more inward real estate investment. In contrast, the accounting quality of corporate governance is negatively correlated with investment, indicating the possibility that foreign investors enjoy high excess returns by investing in real estate in countries with poor accounting quality. Practical implications Countries lacking market transparency can increase inward investments by providing richer market information to foreign investors and by boosting enforceability of regulation to mitigate the uncertainty of returns on investment. Investors and public sectors in countries facing a saturated real estate market may expand investment by investigating less-explored markets and by seeking bilateral negotiations to secure higher predictability of return on investment in targeted countries. Originality/value The authors utilize updated multiple transparency indices instead of a conventional aggregate index to examine how the investment is attributed to different aspects of market transparency and employ the augmented panel regression method for investigation of the intra- and international determinants of the investment.

Sales comparison approach is the most often used approach in private houses valuation practice. This article discusses cases of sales comparison approach method application; its methodology as well as key factors to be considered in objective private houses valuation. Furthermore problem of not sufficient comparative sales prices in neighborhood is discussed emphasizing on its influence to appraised object value reliability. In order to avoid incorrect valuation basing on experience of the USA and other foreign countries some proposals for Lithuanian valuation methodology were given: to establish an exact number of comparative objects, to distinguish the key factors to be considered in every special private houses valuation case and to establish variance limits between appraised object value and comparative sales prices. In order to guarantee real estate market transparency professional appraisals organizations must be established to be responsible for real estate market research as well as analysis data and sales prices official announcements and other information spread tasks.
