## Data Generation Methodology |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset was synthetically generated using: |
|
|
|
|
|
1. **Reference Sources**: |
|
|
- PropertyPro & Nigeria Property Centre - listing prices, property types, locations |
|
|
- Knight Frank & Pam Golding - market reports, prime property indices, investment analysis |
|
|
- NBS (National Bureau of Statistics) - real estate GDP contribution, construction statistics |
|
|
- CBN (Central Bank of Nigeria) - mortgage lending data, interest rates |
|
|
- FMBN (Federal Mortgage Bank) - NHF contributions, mortgage disbursements |
|
|
- State land registries - title processing times, transaction volumes |
|
|
|
|
|
2. **Domain Constraints**: |
|
|
- Location pricing hierarchy (Lagos: Ikoyi > Lekki > Surulere > Ikorodu) |
|
|
- Property types (detached, semi-detached, terrace, flat, bungalow) |
|
|
- Title types (C of O, Deed of Assignment, Governor's Consent) |
|
|
- Mortgage characteristics (3% penetration, 18-25% interest, 60-70% LTV) |
|
|
- Rental yields (4-10% by location tier) |
|
|
|
|
|
3. **Quality Assurance**: |
|
|
- Distribution testing (price per sqm follows lognormal within tiers) |
|
|
- Correlation validation (location-price r > 0.7, size-price r > 0.8) |
|
|
- Causal consistency (property valuation models, market dynamics) |
|
|
- Multi-scale coherence (property → neighborhood → city aggregations) |
|
|
- Ethical considerations (representative, unbiased, privacy-preserving) |
|
|
|
|
|
See `QUALITY_ASSURANCE.md` in the repository for full methodology. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Use Cases |
|
|
|
|
|
- **Machine Learning**: Property price prediction, location scoring, investment ROI forecasting |
|
|
- **Market Analysis**: Price trends, supply-demand dynamics, market segmentation |
|
|
- **Investment**: Rental yield optimization, portfolio analysis, risk assessment |
|
|
- **Urban Planning**: Housing demand forecasting, infrastructure impact analysis |
|
|
- **Research**: Real estate market dynamics, affordability studies, diaspora investment patterns |
|
|
|
|
|
## Limitations |
|
|
|
|
|
- **Synthetic data**: While grounded in real distributions from PropertyPro/Knight Frank/NBS, individual records are not real transactions |
|
|
- **Simplified dynamics**: Some complex interactions (e.g., negotiation, market sentiment) are simplified |
|
|
- **Temporal scope**: Covers 2022-2025; may not reflect longer-term trends or future policy changes |
|
|
- **Title issues**: Models title problems statistically but doesn't capture full legal complexity |
