Possible story directions
- How have typical sale prices changed across boroughs or neighborhoods?
- Which building classes account for the most transactions?
- How do residential and commercial sales differ?
- Are there periods with unusual transaction volume or price movement?
- How strongly are property size and sale price related within comparable building classes?
A useful first pass
Check the date range, missing values, duplicate records, and implausible prices before creating charts. Housing data often contains nominal transfers and unusual transactions, so explain any filtering rules clearly.
