Abstract

Traditional real estate valuation methods predominantly emphasize quantitative financial metrics, often overlooking qualitative factors that influence stakeholder perceptions and decisionmaking. This work proposes an integrative framework combining transformer-based Large Language Models for semantic extraction of textual property descriptors with Quantum Probability Theory to model valuation as quantum states within a complex Hilbert space. Such an approach captures the superposition of qualitative attributes and their interference effects, reflecting the diverse and sometimes conflicting perspectives of stakeholders. Non-commutative operator sequences capture the order-dependent nature of evaluations, while unitary transformations encode alignment and conflict across valuation criteria. By embedding narrative-rich qualitative data into multidimensional quantum state vectors, this methodology enables a nuanced representation of property value that transcends additive classical models. The framework addresses limitations of conventional income-based and market comparison approaches by incorporating intangible dimensions such as cultural heritage, environmental impact, and social value into formal probabilistic computations. This synthesis offers a pathway to more comprehensive, context-sensitive property appraisals that accommodate stakeholder diversity and dynamic valuation contexts through mathematically rigorous yet flexible structures.
