On June 10th, 3:00 pm, Stefano Colonnello (Ca' Foscari University Venice) will hold a webinar on "Housing Yelds". The event is organized by LTI@UniTO and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto.
This paper investigates cross-sectional heterogeneity in residential property prices using rental and sale listings from a large German internet real estate. By matching properties for sale and for rent, we develop a novel price-to-rent ratio measure at the micro-level, with which we examine the determinants of regional variation in the first two moments of the ratio. The ratio strongly co-moves with local demographics, housing supply rigidities, and housing market liquidity. Correlation patterns are broadly in line with a Gordon framework, where differences in the price-to-rent ratio stem from heterogenous expected discount and rent growth rates. However, there remains a puzzling level of idiosyncratic heterogeneity that is inconsistent with existing theories.
