In this project we identified and analyzed various trends within the housing market in the United States to assist an alternative investment firm in identifying opportunities for investment. Using data science technologies–Databricks, Apache Spark, and pandas–we wrote software and queries to parse the various datasets at our disposal and create important interactive visualizations to be used by the firm in the future. We looked at hurricanes and other influential factors as we developed and implemented a forecasting model for median sale price of some of the top housing markets in the United States. The combination of our interactive visualizations and the forecasting model is significant for our sponsors in their pursuit of investments and returns.
