Abstract

In this paper we aim to explore the Real Estate Market in Germany, and particularly we have taken a dataset of Berlin and applied various advanced neural network and optimisation techniques. It’s always difficult for people to estimate what price is best for a property and there are various categorical and numerical features involved in it. And the main challenge is to choose the model, loss function and customize the neural network to best fit for the marketplace data. We have developed a project that can be used to predict the property price in Berlin. Firstly, we have worked on procuring the online current market price of the property by web scraping. Then we did intensive exploratory Data Analysis on it, prepared the best data for experiments. Then we build four different models and worked on the best loss functions which can suite our model and tabulated the mean squared and mean absolute errors for the same. We have tested our model with the current on the market properties, and the sample results are plotted. This methodology can be applied efficiently, and the results can be used by the people who are interested in investing in real estate in Berlin, Germany.
