style, minimalist style or tropical style will create a
high selling price. However, a property can be
considered appealing if the design and form meets
the market’s demand (Tjiptono and Afandi, 2006).
(Tjiptono, 2001) propose about brand image
which is a description about consumer trust an
association to a certain brand. That is why the
development of a brand’s image, especially a
positive one, became an important thing. Because
without strong and positive image, it is very hard for
a company to attract new customers and
retaining/keeping the existing ones, in the same time
asking them to pay a high price.

2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Physical Factors
Physical factors can affect the value of land and
buildings on a property. These factors are formed
naturally or by human hands. Naturally, it is formed
from the land itself, such as topography, soil,
climate, air, water, reach and location, plants and
animals, and others. Whereas those formed through
human hands such as the size and area determined,
the shape of the building (design), facilities,
security, public transportation, environmental
conditions, roads and communication (Setiawan,
2006).
Each property unit has its own characteristics
and differentiation, including residential property.
Housing location attributes, building facades and
layout plans, for example, differ from one house to
another. At a greater level, housing will be different
from the others, because it will have a different
environment, different lifestyles, different presence
and many others. These characteristics are the main
primary preferences for consumers when choosing
housing products to live in (Rahadi, 2015).
2.2 Property Value
The dynamics of housing property prices differ
between small, medium and large types of housing.
Housing property prices are viewed from the type of
house which also reflects the different classes of
needs and income in the community. Houses can
become luxury items for small type segments whose
demand is driven by the need to be occupied.
However, this can be different for large types of
requests that will be encouraged other than by the
need for consumption but also investment or even
speculation (Lestariningsih and Basuki, 2014).
Real estate valuation is an important compiler for
every business. Because land and property are
important elements needed for the production of
goods, the value of real estate depends on its
usefulness and therefore demands the product to be
produced. Property values are influenced by a
number of factors including the general economy,
product demand and supply, financial availability,
legal impact, planning systems, physical constraints,
and social elements and other economic systems that
affect the market. Assessment is the process of
determining property values by assessing all enomic,
social, legal, physical and political factors that affect
prices. As a final product, the assessment process
will determine the value of the property market by
estimating the exchange rate, which will be used for
property transactions in the market at a certain time
(French, 2004).
Based on the economic theories of externalities,
the fixed nature of real property implies that the
value of individual properties is partially determined
by the characteristics of the surrounding
neighbourhood and the characteristics of nearby
buildings. Whether real estate development is
followed by an increase in property values depends
on both positive and negative externalities
(Kurvinen dan Tyvimaa, 2016).
