Housing Price Prediction

About

This is a project to scrape the data of the houses (title, description, region, price, year of construction, area, number of rooms) from https://divar.ir and save them in database (sqlite) after preprocessing.

By using machine learning (Decision Tree), a model is trained to predict house prices.
