This project is my attempt to apply data science and machine learning techniques in real estate investment aspect. It was structured to follow a standard machine learning framework, which can be adopted and further developed for other projects, from splitting of train and test data, EDA, preprocessing, selection of evaluation metric, model training, hyperparameter tuning.

Using CatBoostRegressor with hyperparameter tuning, the predictor achieved Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) at around 9% on validation set.
