• Abstract: Buying a home is one of the most important buying decisions people have to make in their life. The latest research on real-estate appraisal focuses on incorporating image data in addition to structured data into the modeling process. This research measures the prediction performance of satellite images and structured data by using convolutional neural networks. The resulting CNN model trained performs 7% better in MAE than the advanced baseline of a neural network trained on structured data. Moreover, sliding-window heatmap provides visual interpretability of satellite images, revealing that neighborhood structures are essential in the price estimation.

  We present Embedding Earth a self-supervised contrastive pre-training method for leveraging the large availability of satellite imagery. We observe significant improvements up to 25% absolute mIoU when pre-trained with our proposed method. We find that learnt features can generalize between disparate regions opening up the possibility of using the proposed pre-training scheme.
