Housing and behavioural factors

Abstract

The field of behavioural finance is well established. Studies of housing bubbles are less common than studies of equity overvaluation and studies of the behavioural aspects of real-estate pricing are rare. This article examines the housing market from 1987 to the present with particular attention to the 2003 to 2007 bubble. Both behavioural and traditional variables are considered. Models with behavioural variables are seen to provide a better fit during the housing bubble. A state-space model shows that the coefficients on those behavioural variables vary in ways consistent with the emergence and dissipation of the recent housing bubble.
