We consider a simple stochastic model of a urban rental housing market, in which the interaction of tenants and landlords induces rent fluctuations. We simulate the model numerically and measure the equilibrium rent distribution, which is found to be close to a lognormal law. We also study the influence of the density …

Housing markets play a crucial role in economies and the collapse of a real-estate bubble usually destabilizes the financial system and causes economic recessions. We investigate the systemic risk and spatiotemporal dynamics of the US housing market (1975-2011) at the state level based on the Random Matrix Theory (RMT)…

Study shows income inequality increases with city size, affecting only the wealthiest deciles.

problem Understanding income inequality in urban areas.
method Urban scaling analysis of total income scaling in population percentiles.
result Income in the poorest decile does not increase with city size, while the wealthiest deciles show superlinear scaling.

The real estate market is exposed to many fluctuations in prices because of existing correlations with many variables, some of which cannot be controlled or might even be unknown. Housing prices can increase rapidly (or in some cases, also drop very fast), yet the numerous listings available online where houses are sol…

Modeling house prices in Australia reveals supply limitations as the primary driver of extreme trends.

problem Understanding the resilience of Australia's housing prices despite changes in mortgage rates.
method Developed a differential equation model and used modern extreme value techniques on real-world data.
result Without supply increases, a 11% mortgage rate hike is needed to moderate extreme housing costs.

The paper introduces mortgage-rate-adjusted home prices to help buyers and adjust housing indices.

problem Impact of mortgage rates on home prices and property purchase decisions.
method Derives mortgage-rate-adjusted 'effective price' and constructs a price-mortgage rate neutrality line.
result Mortgage rates significantly affect home prices over long periods but not during the pandemic.

In this article, we develop a model for the evolution of real estate prices. A wide range of inputs, including stochastic interest rates and changing demands for the asset, are considered. Maximizing their expected utility, home owners make optimal sale decisions given these changing market conditions. Using these opti…

problem Impact of COVID-19 on house prices and speculation.
method Quasi-experimental design, unit-level matching, multivariate difference-in-difference regression.
result Properties listed for sale appreciated an additional 1% per month after pandemic onset, with an excess annual growth of 12.7 percentage points.

Study shows how macroprudential policies affect credit growth in Israel, especially in housing and business sectors.

problem Impact of macroprudential policies on credit growth in Israel.
method Bank-level panel data analysis for Israel, 2004-2019; interaction of monetary and macroprudential policies.
result Accommodative monetary policy interacts with macroprudential policies to increase total credit growth.
