Here’s a pretty comprehensive dashboard that I made in Tableau regarding the real estate markets in the U.S. using publicly available data from Zillow (linked below).

I’ve always been very interested in real estate and have plans to buy some rental properties. This interest, in combination with my passion for data science, made me want to dive deep into the market data to figure out the most expensive markets and zipcodes, as well as how prices have trended over time.

So feast your eyes on this…and click on any state in the top left to filter all data for that state in particular. (Click HERE to see the dashboard on Tableau Public if its not showing up on the iframe below)

            <script type='text/javascript'>                    var divElement = document.getElementById('viz1643507864980');                    var vizElement = divElement.getElementsByTagName('object')[0];                    if ( divElement.offsetWidth > 800 ) { vizElement.style.width='1366px';vizElement.style.height='795px';} else if ( divElement.offsetWidth > 500 ) { vizElement.style.width='1366px';vizElement.style.height='795px';} else { vizElement.style.width='100%';vizElement.style.height='1727px';}                     var scriptElement = document.createElement('script');                    scriptElement.src = 'https://public.tableau.com/javascripts/api/viz_v1.js';                    vizElement.parentNode.insertBefore(scriptElement, vizElement);                </script>

If you’re interested in rent and house prices and may have a zipcode in mind, feel free to use this dashboard to give you a slightly better idea of the market. Although, without a specific location or investment in mind there’s not much insight to provide outside of some quick fun facts.

Some fun facts:

  • To no ones surprise, California, New York, and Hawaii have the highest average rents, being the only ones over $2,000 per month
  • The most expensive zipcode in the U.S. with an average rent of $41,860 is 11976…it’s the Hamptons
  • Glenwood Springs, Colorado is the most expensive area with an average house price of $1,333,122
  • The cheapest rent is in Crete, Nebraska at $520/mo
