| Summary: | This paper analyses the recent boom-bust cycle in the housing markets of selected Former Soviet Union (FSU) countries.

Overall, we find that deviations of house prices from their fundamentals have not been pronounced, suggesting that house price bubbles have not been formed in the FSU countries |
