Abstract

Discussing the potential effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on housing, Paul Cheshire and Christian Hilber write that real house prices and rents may fall in the short- to medium-term. Yet housing will remain unaffordable for the young and those on lower incomes, especially in London and the South East, as this fall will be driven by a fall in earnings.
