The real estate market plays a vital role in stabilizing macroeconomic situations, controlling inflations, ensuring major balances, and promoting growth. However, despite some positive results, real estate development in recent times has revealed a variety of difficulties, drawbacks, disadvantages and underlying risks, such as: unreasonable proportion of real estate commodities, prices of real estate commodities, especially housing prices are relatively high compared to income of the general public, database on real estate market is inconsistent, inadequate, unreliable, etc.
