Abstract
The effect of short-term speculation on the stability of house prices is examined in this article. It describes speculative activity in the 1979-1981 Vancouver housing market. A series of regressions show that short-term speculators diminished rather than amplified price fluctuations. The dramatic swing in Vancouver's housing prices during the study period is explained by speculation on the part of all home buyers.
