The things I do for you and ask nothing in return

From the inbox:

Any chance you have a small dataset I can use to run a hedonic price regression in excel for my class? I was thinking maybe you had the dataset from that student Isaac about the value of view in Blowing Rock. Anything small is good. In return, I can lend you any one of my statistics books and/or instructors manuals.

Indeed, this is a sweet little dataset for in-class econometrics projects (and etc). Here is the original post where I highlighted Isaac King's senior seminar research. The data is 100 (more or less) randomly selected properties sold in Blowing Rock, NC in 2007. The excel file can be found here (Typepad link ) or here (Webpage link). Here are the variable descriptions:

price - selling price
miles - miles from central business district
bedrooms - number of bedrooms
fullbath - number of full bathrooms
halfbath - number of half bathrooms
yearbuilt - the year the home was built
sqft - square footage
garage - yikes! I dunno, the values are 0, 1, 2, and 3 ...
sub - 1 if house is located in a subdivision, 0 otherwise
acres - lot size
view - 1 if house has a view (most likely of the Blue Ridge), 0 otherwise
days - number of days on the market
diff - difference between asking price and selling price
