Description:

A simple yet challenging project, to predict the housing price based on certain factors like house area, bedrooms, furnished, nearness to mainroad, etc. The dataset is small yet, it's complexity arises due to the fact that it has strong multicollinearity. Can you overcome these obstacles & build a decent predictive model?

In December 2024, the average house price in England was pricier than in any other country. This considerable disparity in average house prices is in no small part down to the country's capital city, where the average asking price was more than double that of the UK’s average. Even in London, for those who can afford a mortgage, the savings made through buying over renting can be beneficial. What drives house prices? Average house prices are affected by several factors, including economic growth, unemployment, and interest rates. Housing supply also plays a considerable role, with a shortage of supply leading to increased competition and an upward push in prices. Conversely, an excess of housing means prices fall to stimulate buyers. House prices still set to grow The housing market in the UK is expected to continue to grow in the next years. By 2029,.the annual number of housing transactions is set to reach *** million. With transactions on the rise, the average house price is also set to rise.

Average House Prices in Canada increased to 688800 CAD in October from 687600 CAD in September of 2025. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for Canada Average House Prices.

In 2025, Turkey had the highest inflation-adjusted house price index out of the ** European countries under observation, making it the country where house prices have increased the most since 2010. In Turkey, the house price index exceeded *** index points in the second quarter of 2025, showing an increase in real terms of *** percent since 2010, the baseline year for the index. Iceland and Hungary completed the top three, with an index value of *** and *** index points. In the past year, however, many European countries saw house prices decline in real terms. Where can I find other metrics on different housing markets in Europe? To assess the valuation in different housing markets, one can compare the house-price-to-income ratios of different countries worldwide. These ratios are calculated by dividing nominal house prices by nominal disposable income per head. There are also ratios that look at how residential property prices relate to domestic rents, such as the house-price-to-rent ratio for the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, these numbers are not available in a European overview. An overview of the price per square meter of an apartment in the EU-28 countries is available, however. One region, different markets An important trait of the European housing market is that there is not one market, but multiple. Property policy in Europe lies with the domestic governments, not with the European Union. This leads to significant differences between European countries, which shows in, for example, the homeownership rate (the share of owner-occupied dwellings of all homes). These differences also lead to another problem: the availability of data. Non-Europeans might be surprised to see that house price statistics vary in depth, as every country has their own methodology and no European body exists that tracks this data for the whole continent.

House Price Index YoY in the United States decreased to 1.70 percent in September from 2.40 percent in August of 2025. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for the United States FHFA House Price Index YoY.

In the second quarter of 2025, North Macedonia, Portugal, and Bulgaria registered the highest house price increase in real terms (adjusted for inflation). In North Macedonia, house prices outgrew inflation by nearly ** percent. When comparing the nominal price change, which does not take inflation into consideration, the average house price growth was even higher.

Meanwhile, many countries experienced declining prices, with Hong Kong recording the biggest decline, at ***** percent. That has to do with a broader trend of a slowing global housing market.

Most of the public concern about housing markets is based on claims that house prices have increased at historically anomalous rates and that house prices have outpaced incomes. The first claim is based on inaccurate historical data. The second is linked to relaxed credit constraints. House prices are likely to fall further, but not for the reasons usually proposed.

Home Value Insights: A Beginner's Regression Dataset

This dataset is designed for beginners to practice regression problems, particularly in the context of predicting house prices. It contains 1000 rows, with each row representing a house and various attributes that influence its price. The dataset is well-suited for learning basic to intermediate-level regression modeling techniques.

Features:

1. Square_Footage: The size of the house in square feet. Larger homes typically have higher prices.
2. Num_Bedrooms: The number of bedrooms in the house. More bedrooms generally increase the value of a home.
3. Num_Bathrooms: The number of bathrooms in the house. Houses with more bathrooms are typically priced higher.
4. Year_Built: The year the house was built. Older houses may be priced lower due to wear and tear.
5. Lot_Size: The size of the lot the house is built on, measured in acres. Larger lots tend to add value to a property.
6. Garage_Size: The number of cars that can fit in the garage. Houses with larger garages are usually more expensive.
7. Neighborhood_Quality: A rating of the neighborhood’s quality on a scale of 1-10, where 10 indicates a high-quality neighborhood. Better neighborhoods usually command higher prices.
8. House_Price (Target Variable): The price of the house, which is the dependent variable you aim to predict.

Potential Uses:

1. Beginner Regression Projects: This dataset can be used to practice building regression models such as Linear Regression, Decision Trees, or Random Forests. The target variable (house price) is continuous, making this an ideal problem for supervised learning techniques.

2. Feature Engineering Practice: Learners can create new features by combining existing ones, such as the price per square foot or age of the house, providing an opportunity to experiment with feature transformations.

3. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): You can explore how different features (e.g., square footage, number of bedrooms) correlate with the target variable, making it a great dataset for learning about data visualization and summary statistics.

4. Model Evaluation: The dataset allows for various model evaluation techniques such as cross-validation, R-squared, and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). These metrics can be used to compare the effectiveness of different models.

Versatility:

• The dataset is highly versatile for a range of machine learning tasks. You can apply simple linear models to predict house prices based on one or two features, or use more complex models like Random Forest or Gradient Boosting Machines to understand interactions between variables.

• It can also be used for dimensionality reduction techniques like PCA or to practice handling categorical variables (e.g., neighborhood quality) through encoding techniques like one-hot encoding.

• This dataset is ideal for anyone wanting to gain practical experience in building regression models while working with real-world features.

This dataset gives the house prices of 50 European cities, plus other features (like local GDP per capita, population density, ...). This can be used either for data analysis or for linear regression.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of house sales in the UK spiked, followed by a period of decline. In 2023 and 2024, the housing market slowed notably, and in January 2025, transaction volumes fell to 46,774. House sales volumes are impacted by a number of factors, including mortgage rates, house prices, supply, demand, as well as the overall health of the market. The economic uncertainty and rising unemployment rates has also affected the homebuyer sentiment of Brits. How have UK house prices developed over the past 10 years? House prices in the UK have increased year-on-year since 2015, except for a brief period of decline in the second half of 2023 and the beginning of 2024. That is based on the 12-month percentage change of the UK house price index. At the peak of the housing boom in 2022, prices soared by nearly 14 percent. The decline that followed was mild, at under three percent. The cooling in the market was more pronounced in England and Wales, where the average house price declined in 2023. Conversely, growth in Scotland and Northern Ireland continued. What is the impact of mortgage rates on house sales? For a long period, mortgage rates were at record-low, allowing prospective homebuyers to take out a 10-year loan at a mortgage rate of less than three percent. In the last quarter of 2021, this period came to an end as the Bank of England rose the bank lending rate to contain the spike in inflation. Naturally, the higher borrowing costs affected consumer sentiment, urging many homebuyers to place their plans on hold and leading to a decline in sales.
