Hedonic price model for Warsaw housing market

A hedonic price model has been constructed for Warsaw housing market using 2006 asking price data. Model parameters reveal a substantial influence of proximity to the metro station on flat prices. If there is a metro station within 1 km distance to a flat its price increases by 15% according to the estimated basic hedonic model. Also green areas have a positive impact on flat prices while industrial areas affect negatively flat prices. To account for spatial autocorrelation two types of spatial hedonic model were constructed: spatial autoregression model and spatial error model. Both proved that there is a significant spatial autocorrelation present in the basic hedonic model.
