We augment linear pricing models for the housing market commonly used in the literature with google trends data in order to assess whether or not crowd-sourced search query data can improve the forecasting ability of the models.

We find that augmenting the models to take advantage of the availability of Google trend data does not improve the forecasting performance of the models
