Forecasting second-hand house prices in China using the GA-PSO-BP neural network model
Jining Wang, Huabin Ji, Lei Wang

TL;DR
This paper introduces a new neural network model to forecast second-hand house prices in China with greater accuracy.
Contribution
A novel GA-PSO-BP neural network model is developed to improve forecasting accuracy over traditional methods.
Findings
The GA-PSO-BP model achieved an RMSE of 0.786 and a MAPE of 8.9% on the test set.
The model outperforms single-algorithm optimized BP neural networks in forecasting second-hand house prices.
The model is effective for high-dimensional data and provides reliable forecasts for urban areas like Guangzhou.
Abstract
While the traditional genetic algorithms are capable of forecasting house prices, they often suffer from premature convergence, which adversely affects the reliability of the forecasts. To address this issue, the research employs a genetic-particle swarm optimization (GA-PSO) algorithm and develops a GA-PSO-BP neural network model through the integration of the BP neural network. Building upon this foundation, the study considers several pivotal factors affecting housing prices and employs a dataset comprising 1,824 transactions of second-hand homes from 2023 to 2024, gathered from Lianjia.com, to forecast housing prices in China. This work shows that the GA-PSO-BP neural network model demonstrates exceptional forecasting performance when dealing with complex and high-dimensional data, significantly minimizing forecasting errors. The test set achieved an RMSE of 0.786 and a MAPE of…
