A systematic comparative assessment is used to evaluate how predictive accuracy and interpretability differ across hedonic regression and advanced machine learning models across international settings. Searches in Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science identify empirical studies published after 2000 with reliable transaction data, model comparisons, and PRISMA 2020 reporting compliance. Across 23 eligible investigations, Random Forest is most frequently used and performs consistently well, while hedonic models remain valuable for explaining key drivers such as location and property attributes.","Munich Personal RePEc Archive  \nIntegrating Machine Learning and Hedonic Regression for Housing Price Prediction: A Systematic International Review of Model Performance and Interpretability  \nGorjian, Mahshid  \n2025  \nOnline at [https://mpra. ub. uni-muenchen. de/125676/](https://mpra. ub. uni-muenchen. de/125676/)  \n[MPRA Paper No. 125676](MPRA Paper No. 125676) , [posted 27 Aug 2025 08:29 UTC](posted 27 Aug 2025 08:29 UTC)  \nTitle  \nIntegrating Machine Learning and Hedonic Regression for Housing Price Prediction: A Systematic International Review of Model Performance and Interpretability  \nAuthor: Mahshid Gorjian  \nAffiliation: University of Colorado Denver  \n[Emai:](Emai: Mahshid.gorjian@ucdenver.edu)[ ](Emai: Mahshid.gorjian@ucdenver.edu)[Mahshid.gorjian@ucdenver.edu](Emai: Mahshid.gorjian@ucdenver.edu)  \nORCID: [https://orcid.org/0009-0000-9135-0687](https://orcid.org/0009-0000-9135-0687)  \n[Correspondent Author:](Correspondent Author: Mahshid Gorjian)[ Mahshid Gorjian](Correspondent Author: Mahshid Gorjian)  \nAbstract  \nIt is becoming increasingly important to predict property prices to mitigate investment risk, establish policies, and preserve market stability. To determine the practical utility and anticipated efficacy of the sophisticated statistical and machine learning models that have emerged, a comparative analysis is required.  \nThe purpose of this systematic study is to assess the predictive effectiveness and interpretability of hedonic regression and complex machine learning models in the estimation of housing prices in a wide range of foreign scenarios.  \nIn May 2024, a thorough search was conducted in Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. The search terms included \"hedonic pricing models,\" \"machine learning,\" and\"housing price prediction,\" in addition to others. The inclusion criteria required the utilization of empirical research published after 2000, a comparison of at least two predictive models, and reliable transaction data. Research that utilized non-empirical methodologies or webscraped prices was excluded. Twenty-three investigations met the eligibility criteria. The evaluation was conducted in accordance with the reporting criteria of PRISMA 2020.  \nRandom Forest was the most frequently employed and consistently high-performing model, being selected in 14 of 23 studies and regarded as exceptional in five. Despite their lack of precision, hedonic regression models provided critical explanatory insights into critical variables, such as proximity to urban centers, property characteristics, and location. The integration of hedonic and machine learning models improved the interpretability and accuracy of the predicted results. Many of the studies included in this review were longitudinal, covered a diverse range of international contexts (specifically, Asia, Europe, America, and Australia), and demonstrated a rise in research output beyond 2020.  \nEven though hedonic models retain a significant amount of explanatory power, the precision of home price predictions is improved by machine learning, particularly Random Forest and neural networks. The optimal results for researchers, real estate professionals, and policymakers who aim to improve market transparency and enlighten effective policy decisions are achieved through the seamless integration of these techniques.  \nKeywords  \nhousing price prediction; machine learning; hedonic price model; Random Forest; real estate valuation; artificial neural networks; systematic review; property market analysis  \nIntroduction  \nImportance of Housing Price Prediction  \nIt is essential to predict home prices, as residential property is the primary asset formost individuals and influences the overall macroeconomic trends (Mark & Kim, 2007) .
