Abstract
Using the quarterly data for the 2010–2020 period, both long- and short-term factors behind the real estate prices for existing flats in Poland are estimated. The long-term determinants of the real estate prices include (i) deviations of the NBP reference rate from its Taylor rule-based counterpart and (ii) the level of GDP. Stagnation of the real estate prices in the 2010–2013 period contributed to a recovery in prices since then. The long-term estimates are robust to the choice of alternative estimators (2SLS, FOLS, DOLS). In the short run, the real estate prices are affected by the changes in the central bank reference rate, wages, exchange rate of the Polish zloty to the US dollar, output in the Eurozone, as well as by the government-sponsored program Family 500+. Our results are robust to the substitution of wages in the short-term regression by domestic output and control for the quality of housing and the real estate prices in Germany and the UK. Correction of the deviations of the short-term dynamics from the long-term trend seems to be rather weak, being observed mainly in the regressions with the residuals from the long-term specifications with the Taylor rule-based interest rate.
