Dockin' USA—A Spatial Hedonic Valuation of Waterfront Property

Journal of Housing Research, 2016, vol. 25, issue 1, 65-80

Abstract: A spatial hedonic model was constructed to price over 1,000 waterfront properties on a lake in South Carolina. We confirmed a hierarchy of pricing premiums relative to quality of a property's view, but we also found the ability to build and use a dock resulted in a statistically significant price premium of almost 45%, compared to undockable properties. Results suggest that permanent changes in waterfront levels due to an extended drought or change in lake management policies that affects a property owner's ability to build and use a dock could have a significant negative impact on property value.
