Real estate ranking computation is calculated to sort real estate properties. Such computations use available information regarding real estate properties in any local markets and may help the real estate buyer to identify real estate properties with various ranked financial values. Suitably, a relatively small geographic area can be used based on the real estate buyer' s specified criteria, and the real estate ranking computation is able to handle interactions among predictor variables, possesses suitable predictive confidence, and includes the capability for dynamically adjusting the underlying ranking computation as new patterns of real estate market emerge over time.
