Abstract: Automated property value calculation is provided. The method comprises receiving historic transaction data for a group of real estate properties over a specified time and receiving characteristic data regarding the properties for a number of defined categories. Historic data is also received for a number of demographic parameters over the specified time. The demographic data corresponds to regions in which the properties are located.

Individual values are calculated with the predictive valuation model for a new group of real estate properties according to their characteristics. The individual values are then aggregated. Financial transaction data is received for the new group of properties, and a net asset value of the new group of properties is calculated according to the aggregated valuations and financial transaction data.
