The results of the quantitative analysis performed on the data indicated that both
the first and second hypotheses are supported. The selling price of single-family
dwellings increased with increasing distance, but only after performing factor analysis
and regression analysis utilizing factor scores. Regression using factor scores was
utilized because severe multicollinearity existed in both the full and reduced attribute
multiple regression models. However, the second hypothesis where selling price of
single-family dwellings decrease with increasing numbers of apartment complexes was
supported by all of the multivariate analyses including the full and reduced attribute
multiple regression model, the Varimax rotated factor analysis scores, and regression
utilizing factor scores.
