Data-Driven Property Investment
An investment fund needed to identify properties that would yield high ROI across hundreds of locations. The challenge involved predicting sale prices and then segmenting the properties into Premium, Valuable, Standard, and Budget categories.
Regression to Segmentation
I developed an XGBoost Regressor model that outperformed other algorithms by effectively handling the complex, high-dimensional real estate data. The predicted prices were then clustered to form the required segments.
Top Performance
The approach ranked 1st out of 143 participants, illustrating how data science acts as the backbone for modern quantitative real estate investment strategies.
