Housing Price Index Dynamics in Turkey
Öz
This paper analyzes the dynamics between house price index and selected macroeconomic variables such as GDP, foreign exchange rates, interest rates, returns on Borsa İstanbul (BIST 100) and inflation in Turkey. ARDL Model is employed by using monthly data between the period 2010 and 2018. The empirical results indicate that there exist a long-term co-integrating relationship between the house price index and the selected macroeconomic variables. The Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) is employed to analyze the dynamic adjustments in the house price index in Turkey. The VECM that displayed dynamic stability in the long-run reveals that there exist inertia in house prices. An increase in returns in Borsa İstanbul significantly contributes to decline in house prices which indicate the value of housing as a long term investment tool in Turkey. The effect of lagged exchange rates on house prices signals a crucial source of vulnerability leading to macroeconomic imbalances as a result of volatility in exchange rates. It is concluded that the policy precautions taken in order to stabilize exchange rate movements should also contribute to adjusting imbalances in house prices towards dynamic stability in the long run.
