Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to offer a framework for computing optimal investment holding periods for real estate portfolios. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is set within a standard DCF modelling framework and it is shown that it is not adapted to offer sufficient...

Purpose – This paper aims to test the robustness of the trend and volatility estimations for two indices: the classical Weighted Repeat Sales and a PCA factorial index. The estimations are computed from a dataset of Paris commercial properties. Design/methodology/approach – First, two...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the impact of lease duration and lease break options on the optimal holding period for a real estate asset or portfolio. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use a Monte Carlo simulation framework to simulate a real estate asset’s...
