Real Estate Economics and Valuations

Course Introduction

This Real Estate Economics and Valuation training course is crafted to empower participants with the skills needed to unlock value in the world’s largest asset class. The course integrates two fundamental skill areas for real estate professionals. First, it explores how economic principles apply to real estate—illustrating how cities emerge and expand, how land is designated and developed through planning and infrastructure, and how these factors contribute to value creation by various industry players.

Secondly, the Oxford Management training course teaches methods for appraising typical real estate assets, employing a range of techniques akin to those used by chartered surveyors, supported by practical, real-world examples. While the emphasis is on market conditions in the Middle East—covering both established properties and new developments—it also incorporates international case studies, including land parcels, properties with development potential, and diverse asset types such as villas, apartments, offices, retail spaces, hotels, warehouses, and specialized properties.

This Real Estate Economics and Valuations training course will cover:

• How economic dynamics drive value creation from raw land to fully developed projects and urban areas.
• The roles and interactions of various real estate stakeholders in planning, infrastructure, construction, and management.
• The interrelationship between economic theory and valuation practices in real estate.
• The effective application of multiple real estate valuation frameworks.
• The development of competencies to assess a wide array of property types across various jurisdictions.
