Housing prices are spatially dependent and are significantly influenced by spatial submarkets. Based on Tainan city, a new special municipality resulting from the merging of the city and the county, this study has used different methods regarding political boundaries, cluster analysis and spatial autocorrelation analysis to classify housing price submarkets and to analyze the prediction accuracy of housing prices. The results show a clear pattern of housing price allocation where higher prices are concentrated in inner city areas and prices decrease with an increase in the distance to the city center. Moreover, it is found that there exists significant spatial dependence among housing prices in the Tainan municipality. Housing submarkets delineated by spatial autocorrelation analysis methods have more significant impacts on housing prices and can clearly improve housing price prediction accuracy. |
