Changing tenant expectations, sustainability concerns, and where people choose to live due to work-from-home protocols are reshaping the commercial and residential real estate markets. It requires data and quantitative analysis skills to predict the full impact of this on the property sector, and investment and development decisions.
The Real Estate Financial Analytics online short course from the MIT School of Architecture and Planning (MIT SA+P) will enable you to transform uncertainty (‘unknown unknowns’) into risk (‘known unknowns’). You’ll gain the technical skills and tools to assess the viability of residential and commercial real estate investments using rigorous analysis techniques, simulation modeling, and financial modeling. This six-week program introduces real estate price dynamics and teaches you to quantitatively model them using Microsoft Excel, in order to understand some of the challenges of real estate price indexing. It also explores the lure and limitations of forecasting and how to make more accurate predictions using Monte Carlo simulation.
In addition, you’ll explore how flexibility in the context of uncertainty can add value to investments, as well as assess the quantitative and qualitative value of real estate investment decision flexibility using simulation modeling. With guidance from MIT academics and industry experts, you’ll discover the potential for new financial engineering tools based on real estate price indexing.
