In other words, the goal of this thesis is to explore the impact of in- terest rate fluctuations on the values of pre-sales house. In addition to measuring the durations of pre-sales houses, this thesis maximizes the value of pre-sales houses portfolio under the strict limit of funds and the condition of immunization. In summary, there are three parts in this study, including the calculation of duration about single pre-sales house, opti- mal selection of pre-sales houses subject to just-in-time pay- ment, and portfolio optimization under the conditions both just- in-time payment and duration matching.
