Abstract

This paper makes use of residential housing prices across US states, along with COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths, to explore the impact of COVID-19 on housing prices. The work also investigates the role of the vaccination program on those prices. The panel estimates document the negative impact of COVID-19 metrics on housing prices, but when the vaccination program is underway, this impact disappears. The results are robust across US regions as well.
