The average price per square foot of floor space in new single-family housing in the United States decreased after the great financial crisis, followed by several years of stagnation. Since 2012, the price has continuously risen, hitting ****** U.S. dollars per square foot in 2024. In 2024, the average sales price of a new home exceeded ******* U.S. dollars. Development of house sales in the U.S. One of the reasons for rising property prices is the gradual growth of house sales between 2011 and 2020. This period was marked by the gradual recovery following the subprime mortgage crisis and a growing housing sentiment. Another significant factor for the housing demand was the growing number of new household formations each year. Despite this trend, housing transactions plummeted in 2021, amid soaring prices and borrowing costs. In 2021, the average construction cost for single-family housing rose by nearly ** percent year-on-year, and in 2022, the increase was even higher, at close to ** percent. Financing a house purchase Mortgage interest rates in the U.S. rose dramatically in 2022 and remained elevated until 2024. In 2020, a homebuyer could lock in a 30-year fixed interest rate of under ***** percent, whereas in 2024, the average rate for the same mortgage type was more than twice higher. That has led to a decline in homebuyer sentiment, and an increasing share of the population pessimistic about buying a home in the current market.

House Price Prediction Dataset.

The dataset contains 2000 rows of house-related data, representing various features that could influence house prices. Below, we discuss key aspects of the dataset, which include its structure, the choice of features, and potential use cases for analysis.

1. Dataset Features

The dataset is designed to capture essential attributes for predicting house prices, including:

Area: Square footage of the house, which is generally one of the most important predictors of price. Bedrooms & Bathrooms: The number of rooms in a house significantly affects its value. Homes with more rooms tend to be priced higher. Floors: The number of floors in a house could indicate a larger, more luxurious home, potentially raising its price. Year Built: The age of the house can affect its condition and value. Newly built houses are generally more expensive than older ones. Location: Houses in desirable locations such as downtown or urban areas tend to be priced higher than those in suburban or rural areas. Condition: The current condition of the house is critical, as well-maintained houses (in 'Excellent' or 'Good' condition) will attract higher prices compared to houses in 'Fair' or 'Poor' condition. Garage: Availability of a garage can increase the price due to added convenience and space. Price: The target variable, representing the sale price of the house, used to train machine learning models to predict house prices based on the other features.

2. Feature Distributions

Area Distribution: The area of the houses in the dataset ranges from 500 to 5000 square feet, which allows analysis across different types of homes, from smaller apartments to larger luxury houses. Bedrooms and Bathrooms: The number of bedrooms varies from 1 to 5, and bathrooms from 1 to 4. This variance enables analysis of homes with different sizes and layouts. Floors: Houses in the dataset have between 1 and 3 floors. This feature could be useful for identifying the influence of multi-level homes on house prices. Year Built: The dataset contains houses built from 1900 to 2023, giving a wide range of house ages to analyze the effects of new vs. older construction. Location: There is a mix of urban, suburban, downtown, and rural locations. Urban and downtown homes may command higher prices due to proximity to amenities. Condition: Houses are labeled as 'Excellent', 'Good', 'Fair', or 'Poor'. This feature helps model the price differences based on the current state of the house. Price Distribution: Prices range between $50,000 and $1,000,000, offering a broad spectrum of property values. This range makes the dataset appropriate for predicting a wide variety of housing prices, from affordable homes to luxury properties.

3. Correlation Between Features

A key area of interest is the relationship between various features and house price: Area and Price: Typically, a strong positive correlation is expected between the size of the house (Area) and its price. Larger homes are likely to be more expensive. Location and Price: Location is another major factor. Houses in urban or downtown areas may show a higher price on average compared to suburban and rural locations. Condition and Price: The condition of the house should show a positive correlation with price. Houses in better condition should be priced higher, as they require less maintenance and repair. Year Built and Price: Newer houses might command a higher price due to better construction standards, modern amenities, and less wear-and-tear, but some older homes in good condition may retain historical value. Garage and Price: A house with a garage may be more expensive than one without, as it provides extra storage or parking space.

4. Potential Use Cases

The dataset is well-suited for various machine learning and data analysis applications, including:

House Price Prediction: Using regression techniques, this dataset can be used to build a model to predict house prices based on the available features. Feature Importance Analysis: By using techniques such as feature importance ranking, data scientists can determine which features (e.g., location, area, or condition) have the greatest impact on house prices. Clustering: Clustering techniques like k-means could help identify patterns in the data, such as grouping houses into segments based on their characteristics (e.g., luxury homes, affordable homes). Market Segmentation: The dataset can be used to perform segmentation by location, price range, or house type to analyze trends in specific sub-markets, like luxury vs. affordable housing. Time-Based Analysis: By studying how house prices vary with the year built or the age of the house, analysts can derive insights into the trends of older vs. newer homes.

Graph and download economic data for Housing Inventory: Median Listing Price per Square Feet in Minnesota (MEDLISPRIPERSQUFEEMN) from Jul 2016 to Oct 2025 about MN, square feet, listing, median, price, and USA.

In the first quarter of 2025, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Honolulu were some of the U.S. cities with the highest housing construction costs. Meanwhile, Phoenix had one of the lowest construction costs for high-end multifamily homes at *** U.S. dollars per square foot and Las Vegas for single-family homes between *** and *** U.S. dollars per square foot. Construction cost disparities As seen here, the construction cost for a high-end multi-family home in San Francisco in the first quarter of 2024 was over ***** more expensive than in Phoenix. Meanwhile, there were also great differences in the cost of building a single-family house in New York and in Portland or Seattle. Some factors that may cause these disparities are the construction materials, installation, and composite costs, differing land values, wages, etc. For example, although the price of construction materials in the U.S. was rising at a slower level than in 2022 and 2023, several materials that are essential in most construction projects had growth rates of over **** percent in 2024. Growing industry revenue Despite the economic uncertainty and other challenges, the size of the private construction market in the U.S. rose during the past years. It is important to consider that supply and demand for housing influences the revenue of this segment of the construction market. On the supply side, single-family home construction fell in 2023, but it is expected to rise in 2024 and 2025. On the demand side, some of the U.S. metropolitan areas with the highest sale prices of single-family homes were located in California, with San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara at the top of the ranking.

In San Francisco, the average square footage price of single-family homes exceeded 1,000 U.S. dollars per square foot. Housing in Solano, on the other hand, was most affordable, with the average square footage price for single family homes at *** U.S. dollars.

How expensive is buying a home in San Francisco? Few metros in the U.S. are more expensive than San Francisco, CA. In 2022, the median sales price of existing single-family homes in San Francisco was about *** million U.S. dollars, making it the second priciest market in the U.S. House prices in the Golden City, were not always so high: in 2014, a two-bedroom house in the Bay Area would sell for less than ******* U.S. dollars but since then, the median price has more than doubled.

How much does renting an apartment cost? Despite rents falling in 2020, renting in San Francisco is still far from cheap. Renting a two-bedroom apartment cost close to ***** U.S. dollars in 2021. California is one of the least affordable states for renters. In fact, to afford to rent such an apartment, a household needs approximately ***** full time jobs at minimum wage or *** full time jobs at mean wage.
