AirBnB Listing Analyzer
A map-based dashboard application for AirBnB investors that uses linear regression to predict how profitable a future listing might be based on historical data.
App in Action
Project Details
Problem / Approach / Result
Investors lack data-driven tools for AirBnB decisions
The AirBnB market is highly competitive and unpredictable. Investors considering rental property purchases need reliable data to make informed decisions, but there is no simple, unified tool that visualizes market conditions, estimates potential revenue, and accounts for seasonal trends in one place.
- No unified dashboard combining market data, predictions, and geographic context
- Investors make costly decisions based on guesswork and fragmented data
- Seasonal revenue fluctuations are invisible without dedicated analysis tools
- Existing tools focus on hosts, not prospective investors evaluating new properties
Build a map-based predictive analytics dashboard
The solution aggregates AirBnB listing data from Inside AirBnB and applies linear regression models to predict key profitability metrics. Results are presented through an interactive map interface where investors can explore listings by location and compare performance data visually.
- Decoupled architecture with React.js frontend and Flask/Python backend
- Linear regression model trained on neighborhood, property type, amenities, and room count
- Interactive map interface for geographic exploration of listing profitability
- Automated EDA pipeline with HTML report generation for data quality review
- Fully Dockerized backend with Makefile for streamlined deployment
A comprehensive investment analysis tool
A full-stack application that gives AirBnB investors a data-driven edge. The dashboard provides profitability predictions, seasonal revenue projections, and real-time market benchmarks -- all through an intuitive map-based interface.
- Profitability predictions based on multiple property features via linear regression
- Geographic visualization of market performance across neighborhoods
- Seasonal impact analysis showing peak and off-peak revenue periods
- Annual revenue, ADR, and occupancy rate projections for prospective listings
- Dockerized backend ensures consistent, reproducible deployment environments
