Messing around with data relating to housing prices in Canberra. Complete code on GitHub.
This started when some friends, in the process of making some large decisions, asked me to see if I could get some stats on the changes in house prices in northern Canberra in the last 5-10 years.
Of course I could have looked at the ABS house price index for Canberra, for more local statistics I could have also looked at the summaries provided on domain.com.au. But the summaries from both sources do leave a bit to be desired. Luckily the records of property sales on domain.com.au can be easily accessed, providing me the opportunity for a spot of fun.
