Perhaps the rest of the paragraph will help... Thanks to all for trying to help! Ce r�sultat n�est pas tr�s surprenant dans la mesure o� les experts immobiliers qui proc�dent aux �valuations p�riodiques des objets ne font tr�s souvent qu�ajuster l�estimation de valeur r�alis�e en fin de p�riode pr�c�dente par le taux d�inflation. Des corr�lations positives entre l�inflation et les rentabilit�s calcul�es sur ce type de s�rie ne sont d�s lors pas �tonnantes.

To everybody Any idea why quotation marks are used here? Should I keep them in the target text?
Non-ProZ.com Aug 21, 2002:
by Jane Lamb-Ruiz There is not other context. This is the only time the term s�ries ��valuation� is used in an article on using real estate as an inflation hedge. Sorry, but this is all I have.

real estate valuation series

These are *numerical series*. See:

I found lots of "valuation series" related to real estate, when I do a Google search.

For example:

Yes, this is clearly a statistical tool, as described in the text I quote above: \"Des corrélations positives entre l’inflation et les rentabilités calculées sur ce type de série ne sont dés lors pas étonnantes.\"

appraisal ?

évaluation can be valuation or appraisal I think that the author is talking about weighing up pros and cons of investing in real estate (immobilier) as opposed to stocks and shares ... what do you fee colleagues?

valuation

value-driven...I would need more context. Is the word "séries" here part of a product this company has? You have not provided enough context for me to make a determination of meaning. It's some sort of marketing jargon.

(house) prices over the long term

A consideration of house prices over the long term usually leads to the conclusion that investment in property/real estate is an effective means of protection against inflation.

--------------------------------------------------

I think the quotation marks are there because, as explained in the following paragraph, estate agents often periodically simply adjust house prices by the inflation rate. Growth in house prices thus consists of a series of \"valuations\".

agree Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) : Ok, but what is SERIES? Please.
