Abstract
Interest in sustainable real estate has grown since 2009 when the American Real Estate Society launched its open access Journal of Sustainable Real Estate. Using this as a catalyst, we abstracted and analyzed 265 articles published in the nine other journals in the ARES/IRES sustainable real estate space, documenting the evolution of sustainable property research for research topic, geography, methods, and property types. From an article count, the most numerous types of studies in this corpus are from North America, using regression analysis or another quantitative technique to evaluate residential property. Popular research topics of late were the sustainable/green category, building efficiency/operations, negative proximity influence and urban form. Dynamic research topics that are consistently of interest over the past ten years are climate change and flood, earthquake, hurricane risk. Green retrofitting of buildings and green development were popular over the past five years. Regression analysis using citations as the dependent variable revealed that variables positively associated with more citations are green certification, survey research, theory building, and JRER. On the negative side, Asian markets, case study, financial and economic analysis, other research methods, building operating efficiency, and other property types are less likely to be cited.
