The U.S. housing market has slowed, after ** consecutive years of rising home prices. In 2021, house prices surged by an unprecedented ** percent, marking the highest increase on record. However, the market has since cooled, with the Freddie Mac House Price Index showing more modest growth between 2022 and 2024. In 2024, home prices increased by *** percent. That was lower than the long-term average of *** percent since 1990. Impact of mortgage rates on homebuying The recent cooling in the housing market can be partly attributed to rising mortgage rates. After reaching a record low of **** percent in 2021, the average annual rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage more than doubled in 2023. This significant increase has made homeownership less affordable for many potential buyers, contributing to a substantial decline in home sales. Despite these challenges, forecasts suggest a potential recovery in the coming years. How much does it cost to buy a house in the U.S.? In 2023, the median sales price of an existing single-family home reached a record high of over ******* U.S. dollars. Newly built homes were even pricier, despite a slight decline in the median sales price in 2023.

Column description:

This dataset contains information collected by the U.S Census Service concerning housing in the area of Boston Mass. It was obtained from the StatLib archive (http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/datasets/boston), and has been used extensively throughout the literature to benchmark algorithms. However, these comparisons were primarily done outside of Delve and are thus somewhat suspect. The dataset is small in size with only 506 cases.

1) Data Introduction • The Real Estate DataSet consists of 506 examples, including home prices in the Boston suburbs and various residential and environmental characteristics.

2) Data Utilization (1) Real Estate DataSet has characteristics that: • The dataset provides 13 continuous variables and one binary variable, including crime rate, house size, environmental pollution, accessibility, tax rate, and population characteristics. (2) Real Estate DataSet can be used to: • House Price Forecast: It can be used to develop a regression model that predicts the median price (MEDV) of a house based on various residential and environmental factors. • Analysis of Urban Planning and Policy: It can be used for urban development and policy making by analyzing the impact of residential environmental factors such as crime rates, environmental pollution, and educational environment on housing values.

West Virginia and Kansas had the lowest cost of living across all U.S. states, with composite costs being half of those found in Hawaii. This was according to a composite index that compares prices for various goods and services on a state-by-state basis. In West Virginia, the cost of living index amounted to **** — well below the national benchmark of 100. Virginia— which had an index value of ***** — was only slightly above that benchmark. Expensive places to live included Hawaii, Massachusetts, and California. Housing costs in the U.S. Housing is usually the highest expense in a household’s budget. In 2023, the average house sold for approximately ******* U.S. dollars, but house prices in the Northeast and West regions were significantly higher. Conversely, the South had some of the least expensive housing. In West Virginia, Mississippi, and Louisiana, the median price of the typical single-family home was less than ******* U.S. dollars. That makes living expenses in these states significantly lower than in states such as Hawaii and California, where housing is much pricier. What other expenses affect the cost of living? Utility costs such as electricity, natural gas, water, and internet also influence the cost of living. In Alaska, Hawaii, and Connecticut, the average monthly utility cost exceeded *** U.S. dollars. That was because of the significantly higher prices for electricity and natural gas in these states.

housing.csv: this dataset is constituted by 506 points in 14 dimensions. Each point represents a house in the Boston area, and the 14 attributes that you find orderly in each column are the following: * CRIM - per capita crime rate by town * ZN - proportion of residential land zoned for lots over 25,000 sq.ft. * INDUS - proportion of non-retail business acres per town. * CHAS - Charles River dummy variable (1 if tract bounds river; 0 otherwise) * NOX - nitric oxides concentration (parts per 10 million) * RM - average number of rooms per dwelling * AGE - proportion of owner-occupied units built prior to 1940 * DIS - weighted distances to five Boston employment centres * RAD - index of accessibility to radial highways * TAX - full-value property-tax rate per $10,000 * PTRATIO - pupil-teacher ratio by town * B - 1000(Bk - 0.63)^2 where Bk is the proportion of blacks by town * LSTAT - % lower status of the population * MEDV - Median value of owner-occupied homes in $1000's

This dataset is normally associated with 2 regression tasks: predicting NOX (in which the nitrous oxide level is to be predicted); and predicting price MEDV (in which the median value of a home is to be predicted).

This dataset was also pre-processed and scaled.
