If you'd like to take a read of some of the aforementioned research, try these: A list of articles I can't post due to journal subscription stuff, but are cited in a short explanation of values by Habitat for Humanity: http://www.habitat.org/how/propertyvalues.aspxA working paper by NYU students that provides all the dense dry stuff I love, but bores most people to tears: http://furmancenter.org/files/publications/Does_Fe...And finally, what should be considered a holy grail source for us here on BP, the National Association of Realtors agrees with me, and links to some of my favorite research (and opinion pieces for those who like more interesting writing): http://www.realtor.org/field-guides/field-guide-to...
