How Does COVID-19 Affect House Prices? A Cross-City Analysis
Tóm tắt
Using individual level transaction data and a revised difference-in-differences method with nonparametric smoothing, we study the effect of COVID-19 on house prices. The analyses are performed on the areas of Houston, Santa Clara, Honolulu, Irvine, and Des Moines in the US, which vary in the economic features and the implementation of stay home orders. The results show that only Honolulu experienced noticeable house price declines from the outbreak, suggesting that a heavier reliance on service industries might be correlated with higher vulnerabilities. Santa Clara and Irvine lead the house price increase rates, followed by Des Moines and Houston, indicating that stronger housing market fundamentals, better amenities and less dependence on service industries are associated with more positive house price effects.
