MOTIVATION

Motivation for Speech or Explanation (Detailed Version)

1. Importance of Housing Prices

• Buying a house is one of the most signi cant nancial decisions in a person's life.
• House prices directly impact buyers, sellers, real estate agents, investors, and
policymakers.
• The housing market plays a crucial role in the economy, affecting nancial stability,
investment trends, and urban development.
2. Challenges in Predicting House Prices

• House prices depend on multiple factors such as location, property size, number of rooms,
proximity to amenities, economic trends, and market demand.
• These factors are not independent—they interact in complex ways, making traditional
price prediction methods less reliable.
• Unexpected changes in economic conditions, interest rates, and government policies further
increase uncertainty.
3. Why Use Machine Learning?

• Traditional statistical models struggle to handle large datasets and capture hidden
patterns.
• Machine learning techniques can process vast amounts of historical real estate
transactions and identify relationships that are dif cult to detect manually.
• They improve prediction accuracy by learning from data and adapting to new trends over
time.
4. Addressing a Research Gap

• While real estate price prediction has been studied extensively in countries like the United
States, China, and European nations, research in Australia is limited.
• Melbourne is a fast-growing city with a highly dynamic housing market, making it
essential to develop accurate price prediction models.
• This study aims to ll this gap by applying machine learning techniques to Melbourne’s
housing market and analyzing how different factors in uence property prices.
5. Real-World Bene ts of This Study

• For Homebuyers: Helps potential buyers make informed decisions by understanding fair
price estimates for properties they are interested in.
• For Real Estate Agents & Sellers: Assists agents in setting competitive prices and helps
sellers determine the best time to list their properties.
• For Investors: Provides valuable insights into market trends, helping investors identify
pro table opportunities.
• For Policymakers & Urban Planners: Helps in economic planning, infrastructure
development, and housing policy formulation based on data-driven insights.
Conclusion

• With rapid advancements in machine learning, predictive models can provide more
accurate and reliable house price estimates.

contribute to a more transparent and ef cient housing market.

Objective
Understanding Melbourne’s Housing Market

• The real estate market is in uenced by various factors such as location, house size, number
of rooms, proximity to amenities, and market demand.
• This study aims to analyze historical property transaction data from Melbourne to
uncover key trends in house prices.
Using Machine Learning for Price Prediction

• Traditional statistical models struggle to accurately predict house prices due to the complex
relationships between different factors.
• This research applies machine learning algorithms to improve prediction accuracy by
identifying hidden patterns in the data.
Identifying Key Factors Affecting Prices

• By using feature selection techniques like Stepwise Selection and PCA, the study
determines the most important factors that in uence house prices.
• These factors include number of rooms, distance from the Central Business District
(CBD), latitude, longitude, and property type.
Comparing Machine Learning Models

• Multiple machine learning techniques, including Linear Regression, Polynomial


Regression, Decision Trees, Neural Networks, and Support Vector Machines (SVM),
are tested.
• The study evaluates these models based on accuracy, ef ciency, and predictive power to
determine the best approach.
Providing Real-World Insights

• The ndings can help homebuyers make better purchasing decisions, assist real estate
agents in pricing strategies, and support policymakers in urban planning and housing
policies.
• The study also lays the foundation for future research on house price prediction in other
Australian cities.
