Abstract
This paper examines the contribution of mortgage regulations to changes in housing

speculation. By defining speculative behaviour in the housing market as short-term investments

with a resale within 12 months, we were able to distinguish the effect from mortgage regulations

on condominiums purchased with or without a speculative purpose. Looking at empirical

evidence from the Norwegian housing market, we discovered that municipalities with

historically high price growth experienced a fall in the relative number of condominiums resold

within 12 months. However, we also observed a geographic specific mortgage regulation to

trigger a spillover effect, increasing the relative size of speculative transactions in non-regulated

neighbouring areas with strong historical price growth.
