Predicting Prices of New Homes

Here is some output for fitting a model to predict the price of a home (in $1000s) using size (in square feet, SizeSqFt, different units than the variable Size in HomesForSale), number of bedrooms, and number of bathrooms. (The data are based indirectly on information in the HomesForSale dataset.)

The regression equation is Price = -217 + 0.331SizeSqFt - 135Beds + 200Baths
 

 
 
Predictor Coef SE Coef T P
Constant -217.0 145.9 -1.49 0.140
SizeSqFt 0.33058 0.07262 4.55 0.000
Beds -134.52 57.03 -2.36 0.020
Baths 200.03 78.94 2.53 0.013
 

S = 507.706 R - Sq = 46.7% R - Sq (adj) = 45.3%
