Housing price studies is the first step of housing market analysis. Prices are determined at the intersection point of supply and demand curves, which determine equilibrium point that represents equilibrium price and quantity level. At a point in time demand factors are more important in determining the prices because short-run supply curve is almost vertical. However, in the long run supply of housing, and its certain attributes, will increase if price premium arises in the previous periods. In most of the studies, house prices are analyzed by using hedonic price index technique, which enables us to have information about the demand side of housing sector. In the hedonic price framework, heterogeneous goods are considered as aggregations of characteristics, and implicit marginal prices for these characteristics are calculated. When ‘Hedonic Price Analysis’ is applied to the housing sector, it shows us the price of each housing attribute and gives information about the preferences and willingness to pay of the people for each attribute. Therefore, at the end of such an analysis it is possible to see which attributes are valued most by house buyers in the city. The aim of this thesis is to reveal the implicit prices of housing attributes in the housing market of Ankara, for the year 2006, with the purpose of gaining more information about the demand side of the housing sector. For this purpose, hedonic pricing method is used with the data that are extracted from appraisal reports which include information about main attributes and estimated price of each dwelling unit.

Understanding real estate bubbles: an analysis of the recent trends in the Turkish housing market
Karasu, Mustafa Nusret; Cömert, Hasan; Department of Economics (2015)
The main aim of this thesis is to determine whether there is a real estate bubble in Turkey recently, where the house prices are increasing rapidly. In order to do this, the thesis tries to define the bubble concept, by reviewing literature. The common view among economists is that bubbles are deviation of prices from their fundamentals which is associated with sudden increases in prices. We usually witness harsh economic crises after the bursts of bubbles in economies and this constitutes the source of the...
Housing affordability of different income groups in turkey: regional comparison
Aksoy, Esma; Özdemir Sarı, Özgül Burcu; Department of City and Regional Planning (2017)
Housing affordability has been a major topic of interest both for researchers and policy makers in many countries. However, in the Turkish case, research on housing affordability is scarce. The problem of housing has usually been considered as a quantitative deficiency problem in Turkey, and for many decades any other dimension of the problem is neglected. Increasing the housing stock in numbers has always been given priority by the Turkish governments. This tendency to support new housing production has co...
The Use and efficiency of housing stock in Turkey
Oğuz, Saygın Can; Balamir, Murat; Department of City and Regional Planning (2003)
Although efficient use of stock is an important issue of housing economics and policies, there is very little research on the subject in Turkey. This study aims to investigate the stock efficiency in Turkey by measuring the degree to which the housing stock matches household size. Distributions between dwelling units and the households in terms of their size are investigated for this purpose. The stock is studied within three zones of occupational density: أcomfort, overcrowding and underoccupationؤ, accord...
Analyzing Housing Market Dynamics using Linear and non-Parametric Models
Yılmaz, Bilgi; Yerlikaya Özkurt, Fatma; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2018-10-07)
This paper analyzes the dynamic effect of macroeconomic indicators, such as financial and commodity market indicators on national housing markets. Furthermore, it does not only focus on the impact of the variables but also introduces a variety of models that based on the generalized linear models and multivariate adaptive regression splines. The models help us to identify the macroeconomic drivers of housing markets. Since the US has an adequate housing market data, the empirical analysis within the paper f...
Exploring House Price Dynamics: An Agent-Based Simulation with Behavioral Heterogeneity
Ozbakan, Tolga A.; Kale, Serdar; Dikmen Toker, İrem (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-08-01)
The objective of this study is to contribute to the understanding of price formations in housing markets through an agent-based simulation that conceptualizes insights from behavioral economics. For this purpose, the study uses a prominent real estate market model as a benchmark and extends it to account for (1) behavioral heterogeneity and (2) dynamic agent interaction. The validation of the model is carried out by using real data from the Turkish housing market. The results show that the introduction of a...
