Using city level monthly data from January 2009 to October 2012, this paper investigates the impact of purchase restrictions policy on real estate market in China. By difference-in-difference approach, we find that this restriction policy suppresses both the trading price and quantity in the short run; however, in the long run the price rebounds while quantity doesn't. Potential explanations of this difference between short-term and long-term effect lay in the decrease in supply and those newly issued policies which may induce a counter effect. Our paper contributes to a better evaluation of the current purchase restrictions policy from the perspective of both short and long run. Our findings may give policy makers some directions for further policy implementation.
