Figure 05 · SHAP importance

Address and size, tied.

How much each feature contributes to the XGBoost model's predictions, measured by mean absolute SHAP value and normalised to a share of the total.

bedrooms + location = 70% bedrooms 35.7% neighbourhood 34.3% furnished 8.0% payment terms 6.1% property type 5.6% amenity count 5.0% post month 3.8% likes 1.5%

Two features carry the model. Bedrooms (35.7%) and neighbourhood (34.3%) are statistically co-dominant, together accounting for 70% of the model's predictive power. Furnishing, payment terms, property type, amenities, recency and engagement make up the remaining 30% combined. This corrects the Issue 01 hunch that location alone sets the price: where a home is and how big it is matter about equally.
