Portugal, Canada, and the United States were the countries with the highest house price to income ratio in 2024. In all three countries, the index exceeded 130 index points, while the average for all OECD countries stood at 116.2 index points. The index measures the development of housing affordability and is calculated by dividing nominal house price by nominal disposable income per head, with 2015 set as a base year when the index amounted to 100. An index value of 120, for example, would mean that house price growth has outpaced income growth by 20 percent since 2015. How have house prices worldwide changed since the COVID-19 pandemic? House prices started to rise gradually after the global financial crisis (2007–2008), but this trend accelerated with the pandemic. The countries with advanced economies, which usually have mature housing markets, experienced stronger growth than countries with emerging economies. Real house price growth (accounting for inflation) peaked in 2022 and has since lost some of the gain. Although, many countries experienced a decline in house prices, the global house price index shows that property prices in 2023 were still substantially higher than before COVID-19. Renting vs. buying In the past, house prices have grown faster than rents. However, the home affordability has been declining notably, with a direct impact on rental prices. As people struggle to buy a property of their own, they often turn to rental accommodation. This has resulted in a growing demand for rental apartments and soaring rental prices.

Hong Kong

Hong Kong, an autonomous special administrative region of China, has one of the least affordable housing markets in the world. A region with an estimated 7.49 million people, it has become increasingly difficult to purchase a home in Hong Kong. The spoken languages in Hong Kong are Cantonese, Mandarin, and English.

Hong Kong housing market

The housing market in Hong Kong has seen an increase in prices in the past couple years. There are two types of housing unit offers in Hong Kong, private and public. The number of public rental housing units has been consistently rising since 2008. Nearly half of the public rental apartments in Hong Kong as of March 2018 were between 30 and 39.9 square meters. Not only has the number of public rental housing units increased since 2008, so have the private ones. However, there are more private housing units than public ones in Hong Kong. Additionally, the Home Ownership Scheme exists in Hong Kong. It is a government sponsored program that subsidizes public housing in Hong Kong. First created in the late 1970s, it was instituted with two targets in mind. The first was to persuade the richer tenants of these apartments to leave so families in greater need could live there. The second was to allow these families to become home owners, since they did not have enough money to buy in the private sector. Under this program, the government sells apartments to qualified low-income tenants at prices below the market value.

The automated valuation model (AVM) has been widely used by real estate stakeholders to provide accurate property value estimations automatically. Traditional valuation models are subjective and inaccurate, and previous studies have shown that machine learning (ML) approaches perform better in real estate valuation. These valuation models are based on structured tabular data, and few consider integrating multi-source unstructured data such as images. Most previous studies use fixed feature space for model training without considering the model performance variation brought by various feature configuration parameters. To fill these gaps, this study uses Hong Kong as a case study and proposes an enhanced ML-based real estate valuation framework with feature configuration and multi-source image data fusion, including exterior housing photos, street view and remote sensing images. ‌‌Eight ML regressors, namely, Random Forest, Extra Tree, XGBoost, Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) are used to formulate ML pipelines for training. The SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method is used to examine the effects of images on housing prices. The experimental results show that the model performances using different feature configuration parameters are significantly different, indicating the necessity of feature configuration to obtain more accurate and reliable predictions. Extra Tree performs significantly better than other models. Half of the top 10 significant features are image features, and incorporating multi-source image features can improve property valuation accuracy. Nonlinear associations exist between image features and housing prices, and the spatial distribution patterns of image feature values and corresponding SHAP main effects vary significantly from the city centre to the suburbs. These findings contribute to a better understanding of AVM development with image fusion and the nonlinear associations between image features and housing prices for public authorities, urban planners, and real estate developers.
