Introduction
In this project we are going to analyze Orange County in depth. This analysis would be of help to anybody who would like to invest or live in a property in Orange County, Florida. We will explain the different important variables that have to be taken into consideration when buying a property and also answer various common questions in a statistical manner. The variables we will analyze are:
UC (Use code): 1-single house homes and 4: condos.
Sales Price: The price at which these properties were sold.
Sales Year: The year these properties were sold.
Sales Month: The month of the year the property was sold ranging from 1 (January 2011) to 25 (January 2013)
Effective Year Built: The year the property was built.

How does the year the property was built affect the price?
What type of housing was most bought between 2011-2012?

What is the trend in the size of the properties depending on the year it was built?
