A stock-flow model of a Real Estate market.

A simple three-year, monthly, systems model.

Price is a linear function (straight line) of the proportion of houses for sale (positive slope), and also a linear function of the proportion of buyers (negative slope).

Coefficients for the Supply Elasticity of Price and the Demand Elasticity of Price can be adjusted by the user using sliders.

Sales in each month are simply the lesser of the number of houses for sale and the number of buyers.

The number of houses for sale is a linear function of Price (positive slope) in the Flow "ToMarket".

Coefficient for Price Elasticity of Supply can be adjusted using a slider.

The number of buyers is a linear function of Price (negative slope) in the Flow "Motivation". Coefficient for Price Elasticity of Demand can be adjusted using a slider.

Real Estate Market Modeling diagram

This diagram implies the simple supply and demand concept to show the relationship of different roles in the real estate market and how they affect the price of houses, buyers and sellers.

The motivations are based on the concept, when the houses’ price goes down (demand goes down) there will be more people interested in buy a new house (supply goes up).

The simulation will show the range within 36 months as units. It demonstrates the comparison of price, houses buyers and Houses for sale.

The housing market is heavily dependent on two main factors; supply and demand. Both play a major role in determining an equilibrium price for both sellers and buyers in the real estate market.

Residents, or the general population of individuals, place significant reliance on financial institutions to provide sources of capital i.e mortgages, to fund their purchases of homes. The rate of interest charged by these organisations in turn gives buyers (consumers) purchasing power, creating demand.

Supply is made up of the number of houses in the market, and consequently, of these, the number of houses which are up for sale. As the prices of houses for sale increases, the demand for purchase of these properties decreases. Conversely, the lower price, the higher the demand. Once the market reaches an equilibrium point, to which buyers and sellers form an agreement, houses are sold accordingly. An underlying factor to consider is the cost of construction, which impacts producers, or suppliers in this instance, and thus the number of homes for sale, and the expected profit sellers hope to achieve.

The simulated graph highlights the common scenario within the housing market, to which we see that as price increases, the total number for houses for sale decreases, generating an opposite slope to the price. As the price for houses increases, the demand for the houses decreases and vice versa. The equilibrium is evident at time 14 whereby the price of houses and the number of houses for sale overlaps which in turn creates a market to which both buyers and sellers are happy.

Shown here is a diagram of a Real Estate Market where in which variables like price, supply and demand are found to be present and play a role in the sides of the buyers and the sellers.

When prices go up the supply of sellers increase while the demand of buyers decrease. When prices go down the supply of buyers increase in the real estate market while the demand of sellers decreases.

It is the simple economic rule found in plain sight in the real estate market.

1 - Price elasticity of Supply with the sellers is high due to their ability to adapt to sudden changes in prices in the market.

2 - Demand elasticity of price on the other hand was not proven to be as high in the calculations since there was no factual data as to how fast the buyers reacted to an increase in supply or a decrease in price. Although seen is the increase in demand when a the price is lowered.

3 - Increases in Median Price lead to a increased Supply from the Sellers.

4 - Decrease in Median Price lead to a increased demand from the Buyers.

BACKGROUND:

The following simulation model demonstrates the relationship between supply, demand and pricing within the real estate and housing world. I have based the model on a small city with a population of 100,000 residents as of 2015.

AXIS:

X-Axis

The X-Axis shows the time. It begins in 2015 in the month of October and continues for 36 consecutive years.

Y-Axis

There are 2 Y-Axis on this model. The left hand side relates to the price, demand, and supply, while the right hand side solely lists the population.

As you could see, this town has a population of 100,000 residents to-date. The bottom of the model shows a population loop that produces an exponential growth rate of 2.5%. This dynamic and growing city populates approximately 240,000 residents after 36 years.

MODEL

The model consists of 2 folders named: Buyers/Consumers & Suppliers/Producers. This first folder represents the 'Demand'. It includes a buyers growth rate, buyers interest increase and decrease, a price demand and the demand price. The formulas form an exponential rise in demand due to the rapid and continuous increase in population in this new city. As population increases, so does the demand from buyers.

The second folder conveys the supply of houses. It includes a sophisticated loop of real estate. Residents who own houses in the market decide to sell the home. This becomes the Houses for sale, also known as the 'supply'. Those houses are sold and the sold houses re-enter the market and the loop continues.

The supply has an inverse relationship with the price. When prices drop, supplies drop because the demand goes up. And when the price goes up, so does the supply. This will represent the growth of new houses in the market.

PRICE

Note: The price is based on monthly rent rates.

The price is dependant on many variables. Most importantly, the supply and demand. It also includes factors such as expectations & the economic value of the house. I have included a stable, 'good' economic value for all homes as this fictional town is in a stable and growing area.

Price fluctuates throughout the entire simulation, however it also goes up in price. Over the years houses continue to rise in price while they regularly fluctuate. For example, in 2018 (3 years later), the max price for a home was: $4254.7 and min price was: $852.98. On the other hand, in October 2051 (36 years later), the max price was: $14906 and the min price was: $7661. (This is based on the following data: Houses for Sale: 500, Houses that have sold: 100, Houses in the Market: 730).

SLIDERS

There are 3 sliders on the bottom that could be altered. The simulation would react accordingly. The 3 sliders include changeable data on:

- Houses for Sale.

- Houses that have Sold.

- Houses in the Market.

Real Estate Marketplace

The model shown provides a visual representation of the processes that occur when Buyers (Demand), the Sale of Homes (Supply) as well as Price interact when it comes to the Real Estate Marketplace.

Price is the main factor that ultimately influences the movement of both supply and demand within the real estate marketplace. Those considering purchasing a new home will be influenced to buy when prices are lower than that of the median price whereas sellers prefer to sell their homes higher than the median price in order to make a higher return.

Miguel's Model of the Real Estate Market and Price Elasticity

This model represents the real-estate market, and the processes and variables in play which influence thatfocus on the effects of Price on the Elasticity of Supply and Demand.

The law of supply and demand states that when there is a high demand for a good or service. The price of the good or service rises. If there is a large supply of good or service but not enough demand for the good or service, the price falls.

The price elasticity of supply is used to see how sensitive the supply of a good is to a price change. The higher the price elasticity the higher the sensitivity to price change. A Low price elasticity implies that changes in price have little influence on supply.

The price elasticity of Demand is used to see how sensitive the demand for a good is to a price change. The higher the price elasticity, the more sensitive to price changes. A Low price elasticity implies that changes in price have little influence on demand.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Important Variables and Stocks Involved

Old Quantity of Supply

%Change in Quantity Supply

HousesforSale

Old Quantity of Demand

%Change in Quantity Demand

WantingToBuy

Price Elasticity of Supply

Price Elasticity of Demand

%Change in Price

Old Price

New Price

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Within this model to calculate the price elasticity of supply, the percentage change is first calculated using the Old quantity and New quantity (HousesForSale).

This percentage change is then divided by the percentage change of the Old Price and New Price to obtain the Price Elasticity of Supply.

Similarly to calculate the price elasticity of demand, the percentage change is calculated using the Old quantity of demand and New quantity of demand (WantingToBuy).

This percentage change is then divided by the percentage change in price to obtain the Price Elasticity of Demand.

With the slider variables that can be changed are the Old Price and New price which affect the percentage change in price.

The percentage change in price then affects the Price Elasticity of Supply and Demand as it is used in conjunction with the %Change in quantity of Supply and Demand to obtain a value.

If we set the settings and simulate to:

Old Price = 500('000)

New Price = 250('000)

Old Quantity of Supply = 100

HousesforSale (New Quantity of Supply) = 50

Old Quantity of Demand = 10

WantingToBuy (New Quantity of Demand) = 5

We can see that the Demand is a lot higher because the the houses are half the price than the old price.

If we use these settings:

Old Price = 250('000)

New Price = 500('000)

Old Quantity of Supply = 50

HousesforSale (New Quantity of Supply) = 25

Old Quantity of Demand = 25

WantingToBuy (New Quantity of Demand) = 10

We can see that the supply is a lot higher than demand as the new price is twice the amount of the old price.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

With the sliders, these values can be adjusted to see the affect on the Price Elasticity of Supply and Demand.

This Model should have included its effect on the price however, was not added due to problems finding the right equation.

The Insight shown demonstrates how demand and supply in a real estate market can affect pricing.

Demand, Supply and Price have been represented by stocks. Each has an inflow where it has an increase in stock, and a corresponding outflow where stock is decreased.

Linking each stock and flow is a variable that changes that which it is linked to. These have been labelled appropriately. Each variable takes a decimal value and multiplies it with that it is linked to, such as the rate of demand affecting the price set as 0.001*Demand. This is to generate the loops required to show the rise and fall in price, demand and supply.

Adjustments can be made to the price, supply and demand stocks to simulate different scenarios. Price can be between 400 (400,000) and 1000 (1,000,000) in accordance to average housing prices. Demand and supply can be between 0 (0%) and 100 (100%), although having these set as realistic figures will demonstrate the simulation best.

Each simulation can be focused on how either demand and price interact over time or supply and price. These are shown in different tabs.

When the simulation is carried out, the way in which demand and supply rates affect pricing can be seen. Demand and supply are shown with price following shortly after with a slight delay, since changes in market behavior does not immediately affect prices of housing.

It should also be noted that the lines that represent each stock do not directly reflect the prices of housing in reality. Prices do not fluctuate so rapidly from 400 to near 0 like they do on the graph, however these are just representations of the interactions between each stock in a marketplace.
