I wanted REALTOR.ca to give me a clean shortlist of Abu Dhabi townhouses, but I kept finding what looked like the same unit more than once, uncertain availability and floor areas that were not clearly defined. The sold-price history was still useful for judging the asking prices. My current...

Neighbourhood boundaries may be distorting this more than the headline movement. Two warehouses both labelled São Paulo can face very different demand depending on access, surrounding uses and condition. I would split the sample into vacant and tenanted properties, then record the rent...
