Turkey is the world’s biggest refugee hosting nation, and Istanbul, Turkey’s commercial capital and
Europe’s largest metropolitan city by population, is home to almost 1,500,000 Syrians. We investigate the short-run impact of refugees on house prices in Istanbul’s districts. We find a negative
impact of massive immigration on house prices.
