Welcome to FP20 Analytics Challenge 36, where analytics meets market intelligence, investment strategy, and location-driven decision making in the European property market.
In this challenge, you will step into the role of a Real Estate Market Analyst or Property Data Strategist, tasked with evaluating a dataset representing a European property listing platform.
The dataset contains 5,000 property listings across multiple European countries and cities, including detailed information about property characteristics, pricing, amenities, energy efficiency, and listing activity.
You are not just analyzing property listings—you are telling the story of property value and market dynamics. The best submissions will connect property attributes, geographic patterns, and listing behaviour to real-world outcomes such as investment potential, pricing strategy, demand dynamics, and location competitiveness.
The objective of this challenge is clear:
Transform raw property listing data into actionable market intelligence—highlighting where property values are strongest, where opportunities may exist, and what factors influence real estate pricing across Europe.
Participants should aim to identify systemic patterns such as stage differences between locations, pricing variations across cities, and the impact of amenities, building characteristics, and energy efficiency on property value.
KEY QUESTIONS TO EXPLORE
1. How do property prices and price per square meter vary across countries and cities?
2. Which locations and property types have the highest average listing values?
3. How do property characteristics such as size, bedrooms, bathrooms, and building age influence pricing?
4. Do properties with premium amenities (parking, elevators, gyms, pools) command higher prices?
5. Which properties stay longest on the market, and what factors might explain this?
6. Are there locations that show high property values but lower market activity?
7. Which cities might present the most attractive opportunities for real estate investors?
8. How does energy efficiency impact property value? Do properties with better energy ratings command higher prices?
9. How does rental potential compare to property prices across cities, potentially revealing stronger investment yields?
10. Does building position or floor level influence price and desirability, particularly when elevators are available?
