Real Estate Market Analysis & Appraisal
This course pairs property market research with valuation practice, covering research design, supply, demand and rental analysis, the income, comparison and cost approaches, yield analysis, Excel discounted cash flow valuation and reporting to RICS and IVS standards. Participants learn to value assets with defensible evidence.
Introduction
Real Estate Market Analysis & Appraisal Training Course builds the research and valuation discipline that property decisions depend on. Participants learn to read a submarket before committing capital, and to value assets with evidence rather than assumption. The programme covers market research methods, supply and demand modelling, rental evidence analysis, the three valuation approaches, yield analysis, discounted cash flow and appraisal reporting. Furthermore, it addresses valuation uncertainty, comparable adjustment and professional standards. As a result, delegates can produce market analysis and valuations that stand up to client, lender and audit review. Gentex Training Center delivers the programme through research workshops and applied appraisal case work.
Real Estate Market Analysis & Appraisal Course Objectives

In addition, structured peer review sharpens judgement, and each day closes with an applied research or appraisal task.
