| description | The commercial property market is strategic to the global economy. Significant
attention is therefore given to its pricing by various stakeholders. The most common
price modelling technique is the traditional hedonic price model. The commercial
property market is too complex to be modelled by the traditional single equilibrium
model. Property market segmentation models are used to improve the accuracy of price
modelling, mostly reported in the housing market. This research, therefore, aims to
propose a commercial property market segmentation model to improve price
prediction accuracy in Malaysia. 14,043 commercial property transaction records
obtained from Malaysia’s National Property Information Centre (NAPIC) was used.
The submarkets were delineated using conventional hedonic, data-driven and spatial
econometrics approaches. The evidence of submarket existence was determined using
the Chow test and weighted RMSE, MAE and MAPE. The research found a
significantly high level of spatial dependence in Malaysia’s commercial property
market. Submarkets were efficiently delineated using all the methods except using
submarket dummies. The research proposed the spatial error model using adaptive
kernel maximum KNN spatial weight matrix as the optimal model for commercial
property market segmentation in Malaysia. The proposed model improved the model
fit by 19.76 per cent, reduced the RMSE, MAE and MAPE by 20.82 per cent, 24.63
per cent, and 25.92 per cent, respectively. The research shows that accounting for
spatial dependence in the commercial property market reduces error, improves model
fit and increases the accuracy of price modelling. The research has contributed to the
existing body of knowledge by extending the commercial property market
segmentation from a priori methods to the empirical data-driven and spatial
econometrics approach in Malaysia. The implication to policymakers, financial
institutions, the economy, property valuers, and property investors is that the findings
will guide them in making informed decisions regarding the differentiated commercial
property market. |
