Integrate this dataset into your favourite tool

Use our data-cli tool designed for data wranglers:

data get https://datahub.io/core/house-prices-global
data info core/house-prices-global
tree core/house-prices-global
# Get a list of dataset's resources
curl -L -s https://datahub.io/core/house-prices-global/datapackage.json | grep path

# Get resources

curl -L https://datahub.io/core/house-prices-global/r/0.csv

curl -L https://datahub.io/core/house-prices-global/r/1.csv

curl -L https://datahub.io/core/house-prices-global/r/2.csv

curl -L https://datahub.io/core/house-prices-global/r/3.csv

curl -L https://datahub.io/core/house-prices-global/r/4.zip

If you are using R here's how to get the data you want quickly loaded:

install.packages("jsonlite", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com/")
library("jsonlite")

json_file <- 'https://datahub.io/core/house-prices-global/datapackage.json'
json_data <- fromJSON(paste(readLines(json_file), collapse=""))

# get list of all resources:
print(json_data$resources$name)

# print all tabular data(if exists any)
for(i in 1:length(json_data$resources$datahub$type)){
  if(json_data$resources$datahub$type[i]=='derived/csv'){
    path_to_file = json_data$resources$path[i]
    data <- read.csv(url(path_to_file))
    print(data)
  }
}

Note: You might need to run the script with root permissions if you are running on Linux machine

Install the Frictionless Data data package library and the pandas itself:

pip install datapackage
pip install pandas

Now you can use the datapackage in the Pandas:

import datapackage
import pandas as pd

data_url = 'https://datahub.io/core/house-prices-global/datapackage.json'

# to load Data Package into storage
package = datapackage.Package(data_url)

# to load only tabular data
resources = package.resources
for resource in resources:
    if resource.tabular:
        data = pd.read_csv(resource.descriptor['path'])
        print (data)

For Python, first install the `datapackage` library (all the datasets on DataHub are Data Packages):

pip install datapackage

To get Data Package into your Python environment, run following code:

from datapackage import Package

package = Package('https://datahub.io/core/house-prices-global/datapackage.json')

# print list of all resources:
print(package.resource_names)

# print processed tabular data (if exists any)
for resource in package.resources:
    if resource.descriptor['datahub']['type'] == 'derived/csv':
        print(resource.read())

If you are using JavaScript, please, follow instructions below:

Install data.js module using npm:

  $ npm install data.js

Once the package is installed, use the following code snippet:

const {Dataset} = require('data.js')

const path = 'https://datahub.io/core/house-prices-global/datapackage.json'

// We're using self-invoking function here as we want to use async-await syntax:
;(async () => {
  const dataset = await Dataset.load(path)
  // get list of all resources:
  for (const id in dataset.resources) {
    console.log(dataset.resources[id]._descriptor.name)
  }
  // get all tabular data(if exists any)
  for (const id in dataset.resources) {
    if (dataset.resources[id]._descriptor.format === "csv") {
      const file = dataset.resources[id]
      // Get a raw stream
      const stream = await file.stream()
      // entire file as a buffer (be careful with large files!)
      const buffer = await file.buffer
      // print data
      stream.pipe(process.stdout)
    }
  }
})()

Residential property price statistics from different countries. Contains property price indicators (real series are the nominal price series deflated by the consumer price index), both in levels and in growth rates. Can be used for property market analysis.

Data

This data comes from Bank For International Settlements BIS. There are several series of data on the BIS site:

  • detailed data set. Format: xlsx
  • [source of this repo] selected series (nominal and real). Format: xlsx, csv.
  • long series. Formats: xlsx, csv
  • Commercial property price series. Format: xlsx

Here we use Selected series set, reasons are:

Data format

Output is four files with different metrics:

  • data/nominal_index.csv Nominal Index, 2010 = 100
  • data/nominal_year.csv Nominal Year-on-year changes, in per cent
  • data/real_index.csv Real Index, 2010 = 100
  • data/real_year.csv Real Year-on-year changes, in per cent

Each file structure is like this:

date,country,price
2012-06-30,Philippines,114.5
2012-06-30,Poland,97.36
2012-06-30,Portugal,88.15
2012-06-30,Romania,84.61
2012-06-30,Serbia,96.48
2012-06-30,Russia,89.81
2012-06-30,Sweden,103.47

Detailed Data Description:

Contains data for 59 countries at a quarterly frequency (real series are the nominal price series deflated by the consumer price index), both in levels and in growth rates (ie four series per country). These indicators have been selected from the detailed data set to facilitate access for users and enhance comparability. The BIS has made the selection based on the Handbook on Residential Property Prices and the experience and metadata of central banks. An analysis based on these selected indicators is also released on a quarterly basis, with a particular focus on longer-term developments in the May release.
