Abstract: This paper investigates the determinants of home prices in Dana Point, California to analyze various factors influencing the real estate market. The results are based on a cross-sectional dataset that incorporates year and month-time dummies to account for temporal trends, as well as spatial variables that capture effects within and between clusters. To address endogeneity issues between square footage and price, parking is employed to instrument square footage and break the reverse causality link. The robustness of the instrument is confirmed through statistical tests, indicating a strong relationship with square footage. Additionally, this study employs the use of Probability models to test Tobit's robustness at estimating the dummy-transformed price variable. Spatial trends are analyzed through fixed effects, random effects, as well as Spatial Autoregressive models absorbing cluster factors, which highlight the differences in price dynamics across various clusters within Dana Point.
