Someday…Īnyway, go to and create an account, it only takes a second and it is free. I am not kidding when I tell you that the cash prize was $1,200,000. In fact, Zillow hosted a competition to help improve Zestimate.
If you are unfamiliar with Kaggle, this is a great opportunity to venture on over there and check it out! In essence, it is a website that houses datasets for data science applications as well as hosts competitions (often with sizable cash prizes). The dataset we are going to use comes from. If you are not familiar with how neural networks work, which would be helpful in understanding what is going on here, simply Google it or find a YouTube video, there a great resources for this. Tensorflow, a Google machine learning framework, is a great base on top of which to build such a model. Given these parameters we can choose to utilize a neural network to perform regression. This is a numeric output, which means we can express it on a continuous scale (more on that later). In this situation we have some inputs about the house (location, number of bathrooms, condition, etc) and we need to produce an output: price.
We need to first ask ourselves what the goal is. Get a coffee, open up a fresh Google Colab notebook, and lets get going! Step 1: Selecting the Modelīefore we start telling the computer what to do, we need to decide what kind of model we are going to use. In this article I am going to walk you through building a simple house price prediction tool using a neural network in python. This is where the topic of this article comes into play, machine learning! Home values depend on location, number of bathrooms, square footage, the number of floors, garages, pools, neighboring values, etc. But even a traditional algorithm would likely underperform and be unfeasibly complicated given the complexity of home valuation. You might then assume that it is some form of algorithm, and you would be right. But surely this isn’t done manually, right? Zillow has over 110 million homes in its database (not all currently on the market) and it is simply not feasible to perform these estimations by hand. Use it as a starting point to determine a home’s value.”īut how does Zillow guess the price so accurately? The difference between the asking price and the Zestimate is only $404. Zillow gives this definition, “ A Zestimate home valuation is Zillow’s estimated market value.
A Zestimate is what Zillow has predicted the value of the house to be it is their best guess.
