The Dollar Value and Profitability of New Urbanism Real Estate Projects

2007 book:  Valuing the New Urbanism. Here's what the description at Amazon says, "Now there is solid evidence that consumers will pay good money to live in single-family homes in new urbanist communities. The first book to examine the new urbanism from a housing market perspective, this study compares the sales transactions and characteristics of homes in four regionally diverse new urbanist developments with homes in nearby conventional neighborhoods. After accounting for site traits, housing characteristics, unit quality, neighborhood, and other market factors, the authors found that buyers were willing to pay a premium for homes in new urbanist communities."

And even better, Eppli and Tu have updated their research and presented it a January 2007 U.S. EPA Conference. That research shows that buyers paid an average 16% premium for properties in Kentlands and a 6.5% premium for properties in Lakelands between 1997-2005 after controlling for site, interior, exterior, quality, market characteristics. Previous research in 1999 showed a 13% price premium for Kentlands (for years 1995-1997).
