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?

The U.S. housing market has seen significant price growth since 2011, with the median sales price of existing single-family homes reaching a record high of ******* U.S. dollars in 2024. This represents a substantial increase of ******* over the past five years, highlighting the rapid appreciation of home values across the country. The trend of rising prices can also be observed in the new homes sold. Regional variations and housing shortage While the national median price provides a broad overview, regional differences in home prices are notable. The West remains the most expensive region, with prices twice higher than in the more affordable Midwest. This disparity persists despite efforts to increase housing supply. In 2024, approximately ******* building permits for single-family housing units were granted, showing a slight increase from previous years but still well below the 2005 peak of **** million permits. The ongoing housing shortage continues to drive prices upward across all regions. Market dynamics and future outlook The number of existing home sales has plummeted since 2020, reflecting the growing cost of homeownership. Factors such as high home prices, unfavorable economic conditions, and aggressive increases in mortgage rates have contributed to affordability challenges for many potential homebuyers. Despite these challenges, forecasts suggest a potential recovery in the housing market by 2025, though transaction volumes are expected to remain below long-term averages.

Home prices in the U.S. reach new heights The American housing market continues to show remarkable resilience, with the S&P/Case Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index reaching an all-time high of 331.69 in June 2025. This figure represents a significant increase from the index value of 166.23 recorded in January 2015, highlighting the substantial growth in home prices over the past decade. The S&P Case Shiller National Home Price Index is based on the prices of single-family homes and is the leading indicator of the American housing market and one of the indicators of the state of the broader economy. The S&P Case Shiller National Home Price Index series also includes S&P/Case Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index and S&P/Case Shiller 10-City Composite Home Price Index – measuring the home price changes in the major U.S. metropolitan areas, as well as twenty composite indices for the leading U.S. cities. Market fluctuations and recovery Despite the overall upward trend, the housing market has experienced some fluctuations in recent years. During the housing boom in 2021, the number of existing home sales reached the highest level since 2006. However, transaction volumes quickly plummeted, as the soaring interest rates and out-of-reach prices led to housing sentiment deteriorating. Factors influencing home prices Several factors have contributed to the rise in home prices, including a chronic supply shortage, the gradual decline in interest rates, and the spike in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the subprime mortgage crisis (2007-2010), the construction of new homes declined dramatically. Although it has gradually increased since then, the number of new building permits, home starts, and completions are still shy from the levels before the crisis. With demand outweighing supply, competition for homes can be fierce, leading to bidding wars and soaring prices. The supply of existing homes is further constrained, as homeowners are less likely to sell and move homes due to the worsened lending conditions.

Average house prices are derived from data supplied by the mortgage lending agencies on loans approved by them rather than loans paid. In comparing house prices figures from one period to another, account should be taken of the fact that changes in the mix of houses (incl apartments) will affect the average figures. The most current data is published on these sheets. Previously published data may be subject to revision. Any change from the originally published data will be highlighted by a comment on the cell in question. These comments will be maintained for at least a year after the date of the value change.

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.

As compared to the previous year, the median price for home sales in Manhattan, New York decreased in the first quarter of 2023. In that quarter, the home price reached the median of **** million U.S. dollars, down from *** million U.S. dollars the year before. In other New York boroughs, such as Brooklyn, and Queens, and Bronx, the median home prices followed the opposite trend.

The number of new houses sold in the United States took a big hit during the financial crisis, dropping from a high of around *** million houses sold in 2005 to a low of *** thousand homes sold in 2011 – around a ** percent decrease. While the economy has largely recovered since the crisis, consumers remained hesitant when it comes to buying homes. In 2020, demand for housing surged and house sales volumes spiked to *******. Housing construction remains suppressed One of the main challenges in the U.S. housing market is the insufficient number of new homes built. During the financial crisis, construction slowed dramatically, and has still struggled to recover. Construction costs, on the other hand, have risen notably, making homeownership increasingly pricier. House prices on the rise Unsurprisingly, the median sales price of new homes has risen substantially. In 2024, the U.S. Case Shiller National Home Price Index, reached *** index points, suggesting the price of a home tripled since 2000, the base year of the index.
