Introduction
With the increasing demand for housing and the fluctuating real estate market, accurately predicting home prices has become a crucial task for homeowners, real estate agents, and investors. Data science, with its ability to analyze and interpret large volumes of data, has emerged as a powerful tool for predicting home prices. By leveraging various machine learning algorithms and statistical techniques, data scientists can extract valuable insights from housing data to make accurate predictions.
This thesis aims to explore the application of data science techniques in predicting home prices. By collecting and analyzing relevant data such as location, size, amenities, and historical sales prices, we seek to develop a predictive model that can forecast home prices with a high degree of accuracy. The findings of this study can provide valuable insights for homeowners looking to sell their properties, real estate agents seeking to optimize their listings, and investors evaluating potential opportunities in the housing market.
