Mortgage banking began to develop in Slovakia after 1998 as an ambitious project, the goal of which was to elevate the lagging development of the real estate market, the development of the financial market and the creation of banks’ long-term resources. Our goal is a comprehensive assessment of the development of Slovak mortgage banking for the past 20 years from the perspectives of the development of banking, the mortgage bond market, the real estate market and selected interactions between individual elements of the mortgage system. The specific aim of the study is to evaluate the substantial links between the basic economic indicators, indicators of housing finance and real estate prices in Slovakia. To evaluate these issues VAR (Vector Autoregression) models, models of panel and linear regression and DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) models were used. Slovakia has specific indicators of the development of mortgage banking, adequate to its historical and economic development. It was confirmed that the availability of real estate loans had a significant impact on the increase in real estate prices. Real estate prices in Bratislava have different development factors than real estate prices from a nationwide perspective. Low interest rates have an important role in housing financing. The second part of the study is oriented towards an evaluation of the technical efficiency of individual banks. The results of DEA point out that the largest banks in Slovakia were the most efficient in the pre-crisis year 2007. The overall results show that policymakers should react not only to the household indebtedness rate and risks for individual clients, but should also see the risks for banks in possible changes in the real estate market, or the risks of changes in interest rates in the future.

The real estate market, as one of the most volatile economic sectors, is a key research topic for many authors. Regardless the significance of this topic, no previous research has been conducted to evaluate the factors which influence the price of real estate in Montenegro. Therefore, the objective of this study is to clarify whether the trend in real estate prices in Montenegro can be explained by macroeconomic fundamentals such as GDP, the inflation rate, interest rates on mortgages, take-up of mortgages, the unemployment rate, the average net salary, the current account deficit and constructing activity and to determine which of them is the most important in explaining the price trend for this market. The applied methodology is based on the model averaging technique, which has not been used in previous research on this topic; it enables the research to focus on the relevant results despite the short time series and the large number of independent variables. The results obtained point to the fact that price trends in real estate are best described by and most closely align to GDP. Apart from GDP, net salary, the unemployment rate as well as the take-up of mortgages and their interest rates are shown to be significant as variables, which determine price trends within the real estate market.

Abstract The specific character of the real estate market is the reason why observations of transaction prices seen as statistical variables are taken in a non-standard way. In the traditional approach each time period or specific moments of time are attributed with one observation of a studied variable per one object. In the case of the real estate market, this is not possible since transactions relate to different objects, i.e., properties, and occur at irregular, or even random, moments. This is why traditional methods used to examine the dynamics of economic phenomena must be adapted to specific conditions on the real estate market. Keeping that in mind, the aim of this paper is to adapt classical statistical examination methods of dynamics to specific conditions of the real estate market followed by the actual examination of the dynamics of real estate prices in three sub-segments of the housing market in Szczecin. On its basis, the authors evaluate various methods of examining real estate price dynamics in terms of their applicability in real estate appraisal procedures and, in a broader perspective, present characteristic phenomena that can be observed on the real estate market.

Abstract The regularities and relations between real estate prices and the factors that shape them may be presented in the form of statistical models, thanks to which the diagnosis and prediction of prices is possible. A formal description of empirical observation presented in the form of regressive models also offers a possibility for creating certain phenomena in a virtual dimension. Market phenomena cannot be fully described with the use of determinist models, which clarify only a part of price variation. The predicted price is, in this situation, a special case of implementing a random function. Assuming that other implementations are also possible, regressive models may constitute a basis for simulation, which results in the procurement of a future image of the market. Simulation may refer both to real estate prices and transaction prices. The basis for price simulation may be familiarity with the structure of the analyzed market data. Assuming that this structure has a static character, simulation of real estate prices is performed on the basis of familiarity with the probability distribution and a generator of random numbers. The basis for price simulation is familiarity with model parameters and probability distribution of the random factor. The study presents the core and theoretical description of a transaction simulation on the real estate market, as well as the results of an experiment regarding transaction prices of office real estate located within the area of the city of Olsztyn. The result of the study is a collection of virtual real properties with known features and simulated prices, constituting a reflection of market processes which may take place in the near future. Comparison between the simulated characteristic and actual transactions in turn allows the correctness of the description of reality by the model to be verified.

The proper and unambiguous reporting of the real estate market is one of the main requirements for ensuring its transparency. Reporting on the prices of real estate realised on the market is a special challenge here. For this purpose, averages are generally used, requiring both the reporter and the reader to be well acquainted with the rules of individual types of averages on the one hand and the specificities and heterogeneity of the real estate market on the other. In this paper, we present the specifics of individual mean values that can be used for this purpose. These characteristics are analysed in more detail and presented in the case of the Slovenian housing market. The purpose of this paper is to present the dilemmas faced in Slovenia when reporting on real estate prices on the market and present the solutions that the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia will begin to introduce in its reports on the real estate market.

Vietnamese economy in the year 2017 reached a GDP growth rate of 6.81%, inflation was controlled at 3.53%. According to Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, Vietnam's economy has overcome many difficulties with the recovery and higher growth. In 2017, the size of the GDP economy will be about $ 220 billion, GDP by purchasing power parity - PPP $ 600 billion, per capita GDP of $ 2,385, and GDP per capita PPP is 6,000 US dollars. As predicted by the General Statistics Office, Vietnam's GDP in the next two years is expected to increase by 6.8%, and 7%. The exchange rate between the Vietnamese dong and foreign currencies such as the US dollar, the yen and the euro remains stable, while a trade surplus of $ 2.67 billion in 2017, slightly up from $ 2.52 billion US surplus in 2016. In addition to the macroeconomic highlights, Vietnam's economy faces challenges due to bad debt from the decline of the real estate market in the past, the bad debt ratio The banking system is high with interest rates falling but still at high levels, many businesses still find it difficult to mobilize business capital. At present, the drastic direction in the direction and management of the State Bank, the birth of the company VAMC recently brought the bad debt ratio of banks to an average of less than 5%. In this article, the author discusses the lessons learned from the management of the real estate market in Poland to provide a number of measures to increase liquidity in the real estate market in Vietnam economic growth in the future.

This article studies the fundamentals of housing prices based on the Real Index of Housing Prices (IRPV), given that in recent times in Chile there has been a sustained increase in price levels and seeks to find evidence on the existence of a possible speculative bubble in the real estate market. Following the methodology of various Chilean and international authors, the Engle & Granger Co-integration methodology was applied. Furthermore, the results of the previous methodology were compared using the Johansen Co-integration test. Then a method to find structural breaks is applied. As a result, evidence is found to not reject the existence of a bubble in the real estate market. It is found that only interest rates co-integrate in the long term with the evolution of house prices, while the other fundamentals present a spurious relationship.

The construction of such a large road facility as the city beltway can not have an impact on the environment. In addition to the obvious benefits to transport, attention should be paid to the environment of the area, in particular noise and air pollution. In December 2017, the Minister of Infrastructure and Construction signed the investment program for the implementation of the northern Krakow bypass road. General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, the Kraków branch has announced an open tender for its implementation into the EU. Today, in our tender for the design and construction of the northern bypass road of Krakow, 8 offers was received. All tenderers give the date of completion of all works within 47 months. The length of the two-lane section of the beltway is about 12 km, each roadway will have 3 lanes. The POK (North Beltway od Cracow) will run mostly in the area of the Zielonki commune, through the towns of: Zielonki, Bibice, Węgrzce, Bosutów, Dziekanowice and Batowice. The analysis carried out show a very large increase in the value of real estates located in the northern part of Krakow and adjacent areas in recent years. According to the authors, the construction of the northern beltway and easier access to the center of Krakow through the modernization of the November 29 avenue will contribute to even greater interest in real estates located in this area. Real estate prices will certainly increase, rather only at the beginning of the investment. Residents will gain the comfort of an alternative transport line, but there will also be an increase in noise and air pollution, which is a particularly important problem in and around Krakow. The article presents the validation of these three issues in relation to changes in the real estate market in the commune of Zielonki.

Research Question: The objective of this particular piece of research was to evaluate the condition of the real estate market in the period preceding the pandemic outbreak. Motivation: Our goal was to determine whether real estate has been overpriced, i.e., whether and when speculative bubbles began to form and whether there were indications of their bursting. This paper brings together the need for discussing theories that can potentially explain the real estate market bubbles and boom-bust cycles (Gleaser &Nathanson, 2014) and the new approach which proved promising to detect the exuberance of economic and financial activities (Phillips, Shi &Yu, 2015). Potential collapse of real estate prices would have devastating effects and would likely cause a collapse of the financial system. Idea: The core idea of this paper was to evaluate whether speculative bubbles could be detected in the real estate market over the period immediately before the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus pandemic, and whether the pandemic or the financial crisis arising from it led to bursting of bubbles in this market and consequently brought their economies into even deeper crises. Data: Quarterly price movements were analyzed in the real estate market in six countries: Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia in the period Q1 1980 - Q4 2019 for Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom; Q1 2002 - Q4 2019 for Serbia and Croatia and Q1 2007 - Q4 2019 for Slovenia. Tools: Empirical analysis has been performed by utilizing generalized sub-augmented Dickey-Fuller (GSADF) test of unit roots for the detection and data stamping of bubbles in the real estate market in time series at hand. Findings: In conclusion, grand European shutdown and COVID pandemic apparently did not prick multiplicity of previously formed real estate bubbles, at least not for the time being. Moreover, in several developing countries with stunted financial markets, the virus may have somewhat paradoxically solidified real estate prices and even sustained a build-up of rational real estate bubbles. Contribution: This paper expands previous research on real estate bubbles and provides new insights into the initial consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
