Predicting house prices

Our little country is blessed with a monopoly which sort of seems to work; the online real estate market is dominated by one player called Funda

Recently I found myself with a little time on my hands in which I decided to give an other stab at my Machine Learning aspirations. The plan is really simple. Scrape said website and try to determine, based on several features the correct price of a house.

The website holds almost 200,000 houses up for sale which I think are almost enough to do some proper learning on. I’m going to try several approached from the Scikit-learn toolkit but I’m certainly also going to try some Deep Learning approach. Probably there’s not enough data but perhaps some data can be generated.

My scraper can be found here: https://github.com/haarts/funda_scraper

More coming soon(ish).
