THE EFFECT OF MACROECONOMIC FACTORS ON CHANGES IN REAL ESTATE PRICES - RESPONSE AND INTERACTION

In most European real estate markets, in the last decade, rapid changes in property prices, both upward and downward, were observed. Those fluctuations can be attributed to changes in economic and social factors that affect the property market. The aim of this study was to determine how housing prices are changing under the influence of macroeconomic factors. A multiple regression model was developed for a quantitative analysis of correlations between control variables and the market state variable. The model was modified by accounting for lag values determined for each variable. The results of the study suggest that during periods of instability, the real estate market is a driver of social and economic changes.
