2. Literature Review

| Theme | Key Findings | Gaps | |-------|--------------|------| | Composite Property Indices | Real‑estate composite scores (e.g., Walk Score, Green Building Index) improve market transparency (Davis & Brown, 2019). | Few address water‑front specific risks. | | Lake‑Ecology Metrics | Integrated Water Quality Index (IWQI) and Lake Health Index (LHI‑Ecology) provide high‑resolution ecological data (US EPA, 2020). | Not directly linked to property valuation. | | Multi‑Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) | AHP and TOPSIS effectively capture stakeholder preferences (Saaty, 1990). | Limited use in real‑estate index construction. | | Climate‑Risk Modeling for Waterfront Assets | Dynamic Flood Risk Models (DFRM) predict property exposure under sea‑level rise (Huang et al., 2022). | Application to inland lakes remains sparse. |

The synthesis of these strands underscores the need for a holistic, data‑rich, and adaptive index for lake houses.
