| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the magnitude of the distress sale and foreclosure sale discount in financially distressed hotels by determining the influence of financial distress conditions on hotel transaction prices. Using a hedonic pricing model and a sample of 6,340 distressed and non-distressed transaction prices from 2008 to 2016, the study’s results show a significantly negative effect of financial distress on the pricing of distressed hotels. In particular, the estimated discount is 33% for an auction/trustee sale, 30% for a short sale, 42% for a foreclosure sale, and 44% for a real estate owned (REO) sale, all relative to non-distressed normal market sales. | vi |
