The valuation of real estate is a central component in the course. The valuation of real estate is the application of general macroeconomic value and price theories. Each teaching moment consists of lectures and assignments, and also of project work in which the course's theoretical moments, as well as knolwedge from previous courses in the education, will be integrated and applied. The course is focused on a more pure real estate economy moment including general studies of the real estate market and its principles, as well as real estate property as a financial object, price formation in rental and real estate markets as well as the tax value of real estate and taxation. Included in this part is a study and comparison of objects in the real estate market, this market's financial and tax assumptions as well as fundamental construction technique. A central part consists of the valuation of real estate properties that has its emphasis on valuation theories and there, in particular, the area price method but also the yield method.

The course will also thoroughly deal with eminent domain and other forms of takings of real estate. The focus is set on how Swedish law addresses these problems and the variations among different forms of compulsory acquisitions.
