Age, housing demand, and real house prices

Article Abstract:

Data taken from the 1980 US census indicates that 50% more of the households in their early 50s, relative to those in their late 70s, were willing to pay for a constant-quality house at that time. However, willingness to purchase a constant-quality home was found to be primarily influenced by education and real income rather than age, which is attributed to the rising level of education following World War II. Real prices for housing could still drop between 1996 and 2030 as economic changes occur including an increase in real after-tax interest rates.
