Esteemed researcher and valuer, Thomas Dimopoulos, delivered a highly engaging presentation that covered various aspects of utilizing AI and mathematical models in property valuation.

Online Workshop: Transparency on Real Estate Markets with the help of AVMin April this year we had a wonderful and fruitful present workshop on AVM and Artificial Intelligence in Valuation in Pafos, Cyprus. There we discussed the continuation of these topics in regular online workshops. The kick-off workshop on the General Theme "Transparency on Real Estate Markets with the help of AVM" is now ready for take-off. Date/Time: 20.06.2024, at 3 pm CET. The speaker in this episode is the renowned researcher and
property market analyst RUSS THIMGAN (USA). Russ Thimgan has
extensive experience in the field of behavioural economics in
combination with data analysis in the real estate market. He
integrates behavioural economics approaches into his work, which is
based on more than thirty years of experience in mass property
valuation, primarily for tax valuations. Thimgan has made
significant contributions to IAAO (International Association of
Assessing Officers, based in the USA) textbooks and is currently a
member of the IAAO Research and Standards Committee. He has taught
mass appraisal courses through Thimgan & Associates since 1997 and
consults with government agencies in 42 US states as well as Canada,
Latvia and Serbia. In this short seminar on "Modelling in AVM", topics ranging from linear regression methods to the random forest method will be discussed. The focus will be on data preparation, identifying influences, the importance of training and testing data sets, determining the performance of models and measuring the effects of influencing variables on the predictor.

FIG Working Week 2020 has been cancelledMarch 2020 It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of this year’s FIG Working Week in Amsterdam due 10-14 May. This is not a decision we have taken lightly and there are two overriding concerns that have caused us to make this decision at this time. First, the Dutch Government announced new measurements to control the COVID-19 outbreak. In the Netherlands all gatherings are prohibited until 1 June. Second, our primary concern is always the wellbeing of you, and we would not take on the responsibility, during these times, to bring so many surveyors from all over the world together. Report to the General AssemblyMarch 2020 FIG Commission 9 has prepared a written report to the General assembly. The full agenda is available The General Assembly has been cancelled and postponed to 2021. FIG Working Week 2020 and FIG Commission 9February 2020 The theme Smart Surveyors for Land and Water Management is both relevant in a world where drinking water is a scarce resource, waste water needs to be recycled rather than seen as waste, where the sea needs to be better mapped and managed, where land resources need to be protected against sea-level rise, and where land-based fresh water habitats are threatened. Commission 9 is planning the following sessions:

Commission 9 Newsletter - May 2014Commission 9 and the International Property Measurement Standard CoalitionFIG is a founder member of the International Property Measurement Standard Coalition. Chair of Commission 9, Frances Plimmer is FIG contact person to the coalition. The aim of the Coalition is to enable properties to be measured on a transparent basis that promotes market efficiency through greater confidence between investors, occupiers and funds. The growth of cross-border property investment and expansion by global corporate occupiers underpins the demand for transparency against the background of many differing national and local measurement conventions. With the implementation of international property measurement standards, properties will be consistently measured, creating a more transparent market, greater public trust, stronger investment confidence and market stability. The Coalition?s Standard Setting Committee, which was established last year in Washington DC, has produced a consultation document which is available at: http://ipmsc.org/consultation/ as are details of the consultation process itself. If you have any comments please contact Chair of FIG Commission 9, Frances Plimmer. The Coalition comprises twenty eight organisations from across the world and there are opportunities for additional organisations to ?get involved?. Please visit the website at http://ipmsc.org/ for further information about this and other IPMS matters.
