Abstract: The economic crisis of the last decade, started from the real estate sector, has spread the awareness of the importance of the use of advanced evaluation models, as a support in the assessments and in the periodic value updates of public and private property assets. With reference to a sample of recently sold properties located in the city of Rome (Italy), an innovative automated valuation model is explained and applied. The outputs are represented by different mathematical expressions, able to interpret and to simulate the investigated phenomena (i.e. the market prices formation). The application carried out outlines, in the selection phase of the best model, the fundamental condition that the valuer must adequately know the reference market. In this way, it is possible to identify the existing patterns in the detected data in terms of mathematical expressions, according to the empirical knowledge of the economic phenomena.

Keywords: price property formation; office market; retail market; automated valuation methods; AVMs; genetic algorithm; reliable valuations.
