This study suggests a model to analyze the inflationís hedging characteristics of direct real estate investments taking into consideration the lease structure, the indexationís typology and the current and forecasted state of the market. Using both Monte-Carlo simulations for the price of the...

This paper aims at showing that using simultaneously Monte-Carlo Simulations and options theory may improve real estate portfolio valuations accuracy. Our method considers the options embedded in lease contracts, especially as conceded to tenant in continental Europe. We combine Monte-Carlo...

Real Estate valuation in France has known dramatic improvements since sophisticated Anglo-Saxon investors came to buy large portfolios of assets using the discounted cash-flow technique. We argue that the DCF approach is probably a first step into the financial revolution of Real Estate, and...
