Descrição: One of the existing problems concerning the traditional economic theory is explaining price behavior without considering quality differences among the same type of goods. Among the various recent technical contributions underlying this issue is the hedonic price theory. The purpose of this work is threefold. Firstly, to present the hedonic price theory intuitively through classical empirical works. Secondly, to discuss the hedonic method usefulness as well as its limitations. Finally, to estimate a hedonic price econometric model for the real state sector of the economy in the Great São Paulo Metropolitan Area (RMSP) in order to identify intrinsic characteristics that value and devalue residential buildings in the RMSP as well as the possible reasons and explanations for verified tendencies. The results bring useful information about marginal prices that can be useful for both the private and public sectors in Brazil.
