Who Buys Homes when Prices Fall?

Publikation: KonferencebidragPaperForskningpeer review

Abstract

We study the transition to and from homeownership under the recent housing market bust using detailed micro-level data covering the entire Danish population. We document that after controlling for various sociodemographic and market characteristics, younger households reduced their likelihood to acquire homeownership during the bust more than other households. Similarly, younger households increased their likelihood to abandon homeownership during the bust more than other households. This pattern is likely to have contributed to a significant inter-generational shift in homeownership from younger to older households.
