Abstract: We examine the relationship between financial instability and real estate price fluctuation in Greece, whose experience during the last two decades makes it an ideal laboratory. Employing a VAR and a Bayesian VAR model, we demonstrate the ability of this measure to explain the phases of the housing market (in terms of both residential prices and investment). We find that an adverse shock in financial stability has prolonged adverse effects in the real estate market, with our findings offering a rigorous interpretation of how the 'perfect financial storm' hit the Greek market during the previous decade. Our findings also suggest that residential prices are more sensitive to changes in financial stress conditions than residential investment.
