THE EFFECT OF FINANCIAL UNCERTAINTY ON HOUSING SALES PRICES: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION ON TURKİYE
Öz
This study investigates, through an empirical lens, how financial uncertainty indicators shape housing prices in Türkiye. The House Price Index (KFE) serves as the dependent variable, while the explanatory set includes the VIX Index, the Turkey Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (EPUTR), the sovereign credit default swap (CDS) premium, the housing loan interest rate (HLIR), consumer price inflation for rents (TUFE), and the unemployment rate (IO). To capture both short- and long-run dynamics among variables that may be integrated of different orders, the analysis employs the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) framework, together with standard diagnostic and stability checks. The results show a consistent and economically meaningful role for domestic financing conditions and housing-related inflation. Specifically, increases in KKFO and TUFE exert significant effects on KFE in both horizons, with the long-run elasticities indicating a decisive impact on price formation. By contrast, global risk sentiment measured by VIX and country risk captured by CDS do not exhibit statistically significant long-run coefficients, although their short-run terms are occasionally relevant, suggesting temporary price adjustments to external shocks. EPUTR and IO display limited and mainly transitory influences. Overall, the findings imply that Türkiye’s housing prices are chiefly governed by domestic credit costs and rent-inflation dynamics, whereas global and sovereign-risk indicators act as short-lived perturbations rather than persistent drivers. Policy implications point to the primacy of interest-rate and inflation stabilization for housing affordability and price stability, while macroprudential tools may help dampen short-run volatility stemming from external uncertainty. These insights guide regulators, lenders, and prospective buyers.
