The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of the news on the housing price volatility in Iran. To do so, symmetric and asymmetric models such as GARCH, T-ARCH, EGARCH and APGARCH are applied by using annual data for the period 1971–2013. The empirical results confirm the asymmetric and leverage effects of news in Iran housing market. Also the impact of shocks indicates that negative news affect the housing price fluctuations further more than positive news with the same size.
