ARED: Argentina Real Estate Dataset

Paper: arXiv 2403.00273

Abstract

The Argentinian real estate market presents a unique case study characterized by its unstable and rapidly shifting macroeconomic circumstances over the past decades. Despite the existence of a few datasets for price prediction, there is a lack of mixed modality datasets specifically focused on Argentina. In this paper, the first edition of ARED is introduced. A comprehensive real estate price prediction dataset series, designed for the Argentinian market. This edition contains information solely for Jan-Feb 2024. It was found that despite the short time range captured by this zeroth edition (44 days), time dependent phenomena has been occurring mostly on a market level (market as a whole). Nevertheless future editions of this dataset, will most likely contain historical data. Each listing in ARED comprises descriptive features, and variable-length sets of images.

Complexity vs Empirical Score

• Math Complexity: 0.5/10
• Empirical Rigor: 8.0/10
• Quadrant: Street Traders — practical and empirical, lighter on theory

Why this score: The paper is a dataset publication with no mathematical models or derivations, but it includes detailed data scraping methodology, visualization of statistical metrics (Wasserstein distance, quantile ranges), and a plan for future updates, making it highly implementation-heavy and ready for backtesting.
