Geographic Weighted Regression

The multiscale geographic weighted regression (MGWR) model obtains different influence scales of various variables better than the classical geographic weighted regression (GWR) model. This paper studies the price characteristics of second-hand residential transactions in Binhu New District taking advantage of the hedonic price model and MGWR model and draws the following conclusions. (1) There are obvious spatial positive correlation and spatial heterogeneity in the price of second-hand housing in Binhu New District. (2) The number of bedrooms, area, age of the house, and the distance to the nearest school have small effect on the scale, so they have strong spatial heterogeneity. The decoration status and floor are global scale variables, and their spatial heterogeneity is weak. (3) The number of bedrooms, orientation, decoration status, floor, and building structure all positively affect house prices, while area, house age, the distance to the nearest subway station, and the distance to the nearest school negatively affect house prices. Among all factors, the distance to the nearest school is the most important factor affecting house prices, followed by the number of bedrooms and then followed by the distance to the nearest subway station and area, while the orientation, floor, building structure, and decoration conditions have less impact, and the house age has the weakest impact.

Purpose Economic fundamentals are recognized as determining factors for housing on the city level, but the relationship between housing price and land supply has been disputed. This study aims to examine what kind of impact housing prices have on land supply and whether there is heterogeneity in different regional spaces. Design/methodology/approach This study collects the relevant data of land supply and housing prices in Nanchang from 2010 to 2018, constructs a vector autoregression (VAR) model, including one external factor and four internal factors of land supply to explore the dynamic effects and spatial heterogeneity of land supply on housing prices through regression analysis. Also, the authors use the geographic detector to analyze the spatial heterogeneity of housing prices in Nanchang. Findings This study found that the interaction between land supply and housing price is extremely complex because of the significant differences in the study area; the variables of land supply have both positive and negative effects on housing price, and the actual effect varies with the region; and residential land and GDP are the two major factors leading to the spatial heterogeneity in housing price. Research limitations/implications The dynamic effects of land supply on housing price are mainly reflected in the center and edge of the city, the new development area, and the old town, which is consistent with the spatial pattern of the double core, three circles and five groups in Nanchang. Originality/value This is a novel work to analyze the dynamic effects of land supply on house prices, instead of a single amount of land supply or land prices. Furthermore, the authors also explore the spatial heterogeneity according to the regional characteristics, which is conducive to targeted policymaking.

The main part of the study will be to demonstrate that models taking into account spatial heterogeneity (Geographically Weighted Regression and Mixed Geographically Weighted Regression) which reproduce housing market determinants better reflect market relationships than conventional regression models. The spatial heterogeneity of the housing market determinants results in the spatial diversity of the market activity, as well as of real estate prices and values. The main aim of the study was to analyse an effect of these socio-demographic and environmental factors on average housing property prices and on the number of transactions in a spatial approach. In previous research conducted on a national scale, usually all variables were treated in a similar way, i.e., as global or local variables. During the research, an attempt was also made to answer the question of which of the variables adopted for analysis have a local impact on prices and market activity, and which are global. The study was conducted in Poland and used data from the year 2018 on 380 counties (Local Administrative Units). The study showed that determinants both for average prices and for the housing market activity show spatial autocorrelation with high–high and low–low cluster groups. Owing to these models, it was possible to draw specific conclusions on local determinants of flat prices and the market activity in Poland. The study findings have confirmed that they are an extremely effective tool for spatial data analysis.

Kriging Approach

Singular value decomposition (SVD) is ubiquitously used in recommendation systems to estimate and predict values based on latent features obtained through matrix factorization. But, oblivious of location information, SVD has limitations in predicting variables that have strong spatial autocorrelation, such as housing prices which strongly depend on spatial properties such as the neighborhood and school districts. In this work, we build an algorithm that integrates the latent feature learning capabilities of truncated SVD with kriging, which is called SVD-Regression Kriging (SVD-RK). In doing so, we address the problem of modeling and predicting spatially autocorrelated data for recommender engines using real estate housing prices by integrating spatial statistics. We also show that SVD-RK outperforms purely latent features based solutions as well as purely spatial approaches like Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). Our proposed algorithm, SVD-RK, integrates the results of truncated SVD as an independent variable into a regression kriging approach. We show experimentally, that latent house price patterns learned using SVD are able to improve house price predictions of ordinary kriging in areas where house prices fluctuate locally. For areas where house prices are strongly spatially autocorrelated, evident by a house pricing variogram showing that the data can be mostly explained by spatial information only, we propose to feed the results of SVD into a geographically weighted regression model to outperform the orginary kriging approach.

Objective: The paper aims to examine house price drivers in Dubai, addressing the effect of internal and external factors afecting house prices   Design/methedology/approach: Using the Hedonic price model, the study examined the implications of house size (space), the availability of bathrooms, bedrooms, waterfronts, and pool and cell phone towers within residential area as auxiliary determinant factors to housing price within developed cities by using the Hedonic Modelling. Also, study highlight the effect of the green strategies that been followed by developer on the housing prices.   Findings: The study is expected to reveal results with significant ramifications for researchers, practitioners and policy makers. From a policy perspective, there is an obvious interest in understanding whether the price of housing is affected by different attributes differently along its distribution.   Research limitations/implications: The data used in this study could be limited, and depends on information to be provided by the Dubai Land Department. There is a room for future research to include more data (such as on other house attributes such as house condition, plot numbers and configuration).

Gwr Model

Models for estimating urban rental house prices in the real estate market continue to pose a challenging problem due to the insufficiency of algorithms and comprehensive perspectives. Existing rental house price models based on either the geographically weighted regression (GWR) or deep-learning methods can hardly predict very satisfactory prices, since the rental house prices involve both complicated nonlinear characteristics and spatial heterogeneity. The linear-based GWR model cannot characterize the nonlinear complexity of rental house prices, while existing deep-learning methods cannot explicitly model the spatial heterogeneity. This paper proposes a fully connected neural network–geographically weighted regression (FCNN–GWR) model that combines deep learning with GWR and can handle both of the problems above. In addition, when calculating the geographical location of a house, we propose a set of locational and neighborhood variables based on the quantities of nearby points of interests (POIs). Compared with traditional locational and neighborhood variables, the proposed “quantity-based” locational and neighborhood variables can cover more geographic objects and reflect the locational characteristics of a house from a comprehensive geographical perspective. Taking four major Chinese cities (Wuhan, Nanjing, Beijing, and Xi’an) as study areas, we compare the proposed method with other commonly used methods, and this paper presents a more precise estimation model for rental house prices. The method proposed in this paper may serve as a useful reference for individuals and enterprises in their transactions relevant to rental houses, and for the government in terms of the policies and positions of public rental housing.

Purpose This study aims to measure the occurrence of gentrification and to relate gentrification with housing values. Design/methodology/approach The authors have used Getis-Ord statistics to identify and quantify gentrification in different residential areas in a case study of Stockholm, Sweden. Gentrification will be measured in two dimensions, namely, income and population. In step two, this measure is included in a traditional hedonic pricing model where the intention is to explain future housing prices. Findings The results indicate that the parameter estimate is statistically significant, suggesting that gentrification contributes to higher housing values in gentrified areas and near gentrified neighbourhoods. This latter possible spillover effect of house prices due to gentrification by income and population was similar in both the hedonic price and treatment effect models. According to the hedonic price model, proximity to the gentrified area increases housing value by around 6%–8%. The spillover effect on price distribution seems to be consistent and stable in gentrified areas. Originality/value A few studies estimate the effect of gentrification on property values. Those studies focussed on analysing the impacts of gentrification in higher rents and increasing house prices within the gentrifying areas, not gentrification on property prices in neighbouring areas. Hence, one of the paper’s contributions is to bridge the gap in previous studies by measuring gentrification’s impact on neighbouring housing prices.

Using a historical data set and recent advances in non-parametric time series modelling, we investigate the nexus between tourism flows and house prices in Germany over nearly 150 years. We use time-varying non-parametric techniques given that historical data tend to exhibit abrupt changes and other forms of non-linearities. Our findings show evidence of a time-varying effect of tourism flows on house prices, although with mixed effects. The pre-World War II time-varying estimates of tourism show both positive and negative effects on house prices. While changes in tourism flows contribute to increasing housing prices over the post-1950 period, this is short-lived, and the effect declines until the mid-1990s. However, we find a positive and significant relationship after 2000, where the impact of tourism on house prices becomes more pronounced in recent years.

Depth Analysis

On the world stage, Australian cities have been punching above their weight in global indexes of housing prices, sparking heated debates about the causes of and remedies for, sustained house price inflation. This paper examines the evidence base underpinning such debates, and the policy claims made by key commentators and stakeholders. With reference to the wider context of Australia’s housing market over a 20 year period, as well as an in depth analysis of a research paper by Australia’s central Reserve Bank, we show how economic theories commonly position land use planning as a primary driver of new supply constraints but overlook other explanations for housing market behavior. In doing so, we offer an alternative understanding of urban housing markets and land use planning interventions as a basis for more effective policy intervention in Australian and other world cities.

Over the course of the last decade, sharing economy platforms have experienced significant growth within cities around the world. Airbnb, which is one of the largest and best-known platforms, provides the focus for this paper and offers a service that allows users to rent properties or spare rooms to guests. Its rapid growth has led to a growing discourse around the consequences of Airbnb rentals within the local context. The research within this paper focuses on determining impact on local housing prices within the inner London boroughs by constructing a longitudinal panel dataset, on which a fixed and random effects regression was conducted. The results indicate that there is a significant and modest positive association between the frequency of Airbnb and the house price per square metre in these boroughs.
