A number of published studies have investigated the application of neural network technology to residential property appraisal. The majority of these studies have concentrated on homogeneous areas (that is areas where properties are subject to the same environmental and locational factors). This is generally done to restrict the data set to one local sub-market. However, the models created are specialised and not locationally portable. This paper presents a methodology, which builds on research in which a Kohonen map is used to uncover sub-markets within a large data set that are subsequently independently used to train a series of multi layer perceptron (MLP) networks. The study concludes that by modelling possible sub-markets an acceptable accuracy over a heterogeneous area can be achieved.
