Abstract of paper: Recent attention has been drawn to statistical research in real estate markets, aiming to comprehend the dynamic patterns of real estate prices in terms of space and time. This study contributes to this field by presenting compelling evidence of the spatial and temporal dependence in real estate prices. The authors introduce a spatio-temporal model that captures the intricate spatial and temporal dependencies of the real estate prices efficiently. The study approach, allowing multiple observations per unit, provides added benefits for practitioners. Authors implement their model through a Bayesian setup as it gives flexibility and computational advantage over other approaches. As a real-life application, they analyze house price data from Bengaluru from February 2015 to March 2020, covering 62 monthly time points and 76 micromarkets. Residual diagnostics confirm the model's effectiveness in capturing spatio-temporal dependence. Furthermore, the model demonstrates effectiveness in its predictive capabilities.
