La Rioja was the Spanish region where the pandemic impact on real estate prices was higher compared to the previous year, with a decrease of almost 16% in the last quarter of 2020. The only place in Spain where there was an increase in comparison with the pre-pandemic data was in the autonomous city of Melilla.

High inflation rates of the Russian ruble, subsequent to the COVID-19 expansion and the cruide oil price drop, promoted a high demand on residential real estate. As a result, an increase in housing prices was recorded in most major cities of the country. After a 1.5 percent growth in March 2020, Moscow led the list with the highest average price for residential real estate, measuring at 211.5 thousand Russian rubles per square meter.

The data in this paper are divided into two main sections, which are data on the housing market and data on epidemic case information. The time span of the data sample is from December 1, 2019 to April 26, 2020.The original data of the housing market aspect such as the second-hand house price index in Wuhan and the surrounding provincial capital cities were obtained from Chain Home and Baidu Maps.

Accelerated Russian ruble devaluation, caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) expansion and sinking oil prices, generated an increasingly popular fear of a possible mortgage rate growth in the country. Consequently, the residential real estate demand growth led to increased prices in the secondary market. The highest increase was marked in Krasnoyarsk at two percent, while Moscow made it in the top three with a 1.5 percent increment on average.

Is the recent rise in prices a sign of inflation, or is the market simply behaving as expected?

Gross fixed capital formation for housing decreased significantly in several European countries in early 2020 but followed with a drop in the second quarter of the year with the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. This translated into a halt of residential property investments. In countries like the United Kingdom (UK), Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, and Luxembourg the year-on-year percentage decrease was between ** and ** percent. Тhis was not the case with several countries that kept housing investment growing on an year-on-year basis in 2020: Greece, Hungary, Sweden, Denmark, and Czechia.

Replication code for the analysis and figures in the paper

Residential real estate transactions saw both a decline as well as an increase during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, depending on the country. In Denmark, for example, property sales increased by over ***** percent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2020. This was in stark contrast to the United Kingdom, where provisional and non-seasonal data suggested the country saw one of its largest drops in housing transactions since 2009. Some countries, on the other hand, already witnessed a decrease in their transactions before COVID-19 hit Europe. The housing trade inFrance, for example, suffered a large decrease in the first quarter of 2020, right before quarantine measures were enforced. Data for Germany, on the other hand, suggested that its housing market was still growing before the lockdown. Whether this was still the case in 2020 remains to be seen.

In a September 2020 survey among adults in the United States, one in three Millennials who was a person of color (POC) said that they were more interested in buying a home due to the COVID-19 pandemic (35 percent). On the other hand, the share of White Non-Hispanic Millennials who were more likely to purchase a house was 21 percent. In the United States, the 2020 homeownership rate reached 65.8 percent.

The number of home sales in the United States peaked in 2021 at almost ************* after steadily rising since 2018. Nevertheless, the market contracted in the following year, with transaction volumes falling to ***********. Home sales remained muted in 2024, with a mild increase expected in 2025 and 2026. A major factor driving this trend is the unprecedented increase in mortgage interest rates due to high inflation. How have U.S. home prices developed over time? The average sales price of new homes has also been rising since 2011. Buyer confidence seems to have recovered after the property crash, which has increased demand for homes and also the prices sellers are demanding for homes. At the same time, the affordability of U.S. homes has decreased. Both the number of existing and newly built homes sold has declined since the housing market boom during the coronavirus pandemic. Challenges in housing supply The number of housing units in the U.S. rose steadily between 1975 and 2005 but has remained fairly stable since then. Construction increased notably in the 1990s and early 2000s, with the number of construction starts steadily rising, before plummeting amid the infamous housing market crash. Housing starts slowly started to pick up in 2011, mirroring the economic recovery. In 2022, the supply of newly built homes plummeted again, as supply chain challenges following the COVID-19 pandemic and tariffs on essential construction materials such as steel and lumber led to prices soaring.

The website plans.fr, which lists more than 1,000 house plans online, has listed price increases in construction since 2020. These increases are due to several factors: — Re 2020 replacing the ROE 2012 — COVID with shortages of materials and craftsmen — High inflation of raw materials (+ 60 % on steel,...) The rises in the price of new housing since 2020 are delusional and have never been seen in recent history.

The number of housing units in the United States has grown year-on-year and in 2024, there were approximately *** million homes. That was an increase of about one percent from the previous year. Homeownership in the U.S. Most of the housing stock in the U.S. is owner-occupied, meaning that the person who owns the home uses it as a primary residence. Homeownership is an integral part of the American Dream, with about *** in ***** Americans living in an owner-occupied home. For older generations, the homeownership rate is even higher, showing that buying a home is an important milestone in life. Housing transactions slowing down During the coronavirus pandemic, the U.S. experienced a housing market boom and witnessed an increase in the number of homes sold. Since 2020, when the market peaked, new homes transactions have slowed down and so have the sales of existing homes. That has affected the development of home prices, with several states across the country experiencing a decline in house prices.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which was aggravated by a drastic reduction in oil prices, led to a significant devaluation of the Russian ruble in March 2020. Consequently, in the view of a possible interest rate increase on mortgage loans, a notable demand growth on real estate was recorded countrywide. The estimated average demand increase in 2020 relative to 2019 was measured between 12 and 15 percent.
