... ing the building and land prices, this study estimates land price using a large amount of land-use information obtained from various land- and building-related datasets. The random forest and XGBoost methods were used to estimate 52,900 land prices in Seoul, South Korea, from January 2017 to December 2020. The models were also separately trained for different land uses and different time periods. Overall, the results revealed that XGBoost yields a higher prediction accuracy. Whereas the XGBoost models were more accurate on the 2020 data than on the 2017–2020 data when analyzing residential areas, the random forest models were more accurate on the 2017–2020 data than on the 2020 data. Further analysis will extend the prediction model to consider submarkets determined by price volatility and locality.
