    This is the first offering of a course that is being proposed as a permanent course offering. The official course description: Theory and practice of real property valuation from fundamental concepts to complex income-producing properties and partial-interest valuations. Technology-related tools are employed in the course, including financial modeling with various software programs.

    Compared to other graduate courses in real estate, this course is the deepest dive into the three approaches to value: cost, sales comparison, and income. A detailed analysis of property rights, market analysis, and highest/best use are incorporated into the course.
