Abstract

With the rapid increase in housing demand, more and more homebuyers in Beijing tend to purchase housing properties without collecting enough information. To provide a solution for information asymmetry and high information acquiring cost in the housing market, this study focusses on the housing price forecasting. Reliable forecasts could provide valuable information for homebuyers and sellers and help them better understand the local housing market. This paper seeks to predict the housing price in Beijing using ARIMA models due to the model’s demonstrated outperformance in predicting time series data accuracy. In addition, district-by-district housing price prediction is also performed.
