Coefficients are7harmonised into percentage premiums, semi-elasticities per common unit and elasticities, and pooled with random-effects,8three-level and cluster-robust models, with publication-selection diagnostics, Bayesian and machine-learning cross-checks. The9structural core of the hedonic model is global: the elasticity of price to living area is \estLivingAreaElasticity{}, a10bathroom adds \estBathroomsSemiElasticity{} percent, a year of age subtracts \estAgeSemiElasticity{} percent and a kilometre from11the centre \estCbdDistanceSemiElasticity{} percent, with similar means across continents and decades. Signature amenities carry12premiums between four and eleven percent and a waterfront location \estWaterfrontPctPremium{} percent. Every implicit price is13heterogeneous beyond sampling error, prediction intervals span zero for most characteristics, and observable study features,14including spatial estimators, explain little of the heterogeneity. Funnel asymmetry is widespread but not interpretable as15selection alone. Machine-learning models predict better than hedonic benchmarks in most of the forty retrievable comparisons,16while AI-derived text and image features add modest accuracy and some interpretable characteristics. The synthesis extends17Sirmans et al.\ (2005, 2006) in coverage, harmonisation, inference and scope, and is bounded by the open-access retrieval rate18that it documents.%19}20
