Abstract Rocketing housing prices and the consequent unaffordability of houses have become hot social topics. Against this backdrop, this paper uses the micro-data of urban households in China to systematically study the impact of housing prices on local household wages, the mechanism of impacts as well as its impact on local resource allocation efficiency. The study found that the rising house price significantly increases the average wage of local residents through “cost of living effect” and “leisure substitution effect”. Meanwhile, considered that the rising wages that are not based on labor productivity will worsen the efficiency of resource allocation, the paper further explores the relations among housing price, wage and allocation of resources from the perspective of capital labor ratio and factor price distortion. It found that the wage increase caused by housing price rise indeed leads to excessive capital deepening and industrial upgrading, and thus reduces the efficiency of local resource allocation. This research provides family-level micro empirical evidence for the impact of housing prices on local household wages.
