The American Real Estate Society (ARES), founded in 1985, is an association of real estate thought leaders. Members are drawn from academia and the profession at large, both in the United States and internationally. The Society is dedicated to producing and disseminating knowledge related to real estate decision making and the functioning of real estate markets.

The ARES journals provide relevant and timely research of interest to real estate academics and practitioners worldwide. The Society publishes five journals: Journal of Real Estate Research (JRER), Journal of Real Estate Portfolio Management (JREPM), Journal of Real Estate Literature (JREL), Journal of Real Estate Practice and Education (JREPE) and Journal of Housing Research (JHR). In addition, members receive the semi-annual ARES Newsletter and the ARES Monograph, which are published periodically on real estate research topics of keen interest.
