We evaluate the price development of apartments in neighborhoods surrounding temporary housing for refugees in the year after an unpredicted announcement of building sites, targeting refugees, in Gothenburg. Information on such a development can indicate how much home buyers dislike the idea of having refugees in their neigh-borhood. We use a difference-in-difference approach that takes into account the walking distance to the building sites and the time since the announcement. We find support for a negative and significant price effect of around 4 percent for apartments that were within a 5-minutes walking distance from the building sites, while there is no impact for houses situated at a longer distance. We find that the impact essentially comes from a drop in apartment prices at the moment that the building permits were accepted. We find that the price effect increases with the neighborhood's education level.
