During our time in Venice, we have been collecting information on house listings by hand as well as on the internet. By hand, we have been going to different real estate agencies all throughout Venice and taking pictures of the window listings. With those pictures, we made a spreadsheet that contained columns which indicate the number of bedrooms, the number of bathrooms, and if also listed, square meters, location, price, energy class, agency, and the description. In regards to the internet, with the help of VPC interns, we were able to get a copy of all the scraped listings for Venice. On this spreadsheet, it had columns for the price, number of rooms, number of bathrooms, and the square meters. From there, we have gone on to sift through the data and make sure to get rid of any outliers as well as repeated housing. This has been a long and continuous process as well are still collecting some more data, but currently, we have around 4,940 listings! This information is being processed and analyzed day to day with exact results to appear in the near future.
