Abstract: In this paper, we demonstrate that the fuzzy pricing model can improve regression analysis in applications where non-smoothness appears. Combining the fuzzy and regression approaches it is capable of modelling complex non-linearities. The application of this approach describes an effort to design a regression-fuzzy system to estimate real estate market values, especially for vacant urban plots. The results are compared with those obtained using a traditional multiple regression model only. The changes of parameters in the domain of independent variables of the regression function are determined by the analysis of membership functions defining the terms of the fuzzy model. The paper also describes possible future research. The suggested method is interesting for real estate appraisers, real estate companies, and bureaus because it provides a better overview of location prices. The suggested approach could be also used in various other economic and business analyses. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2011
