Especially in Istanbul house prices are highly spatially correlated the weight matrix approach employed to handle this problem. Findings of this study suggests that recently introduced Mortgage Law in Turkish banking system strongly needs House Price Indices (HPI) to be studied deeply in different market segments sub-market characteristics and local factors.
