Title : Stock of dwellings, house prices and interest rates: an econometric model for the UK
Authors : Raymond Y.C. Tse
Abstract: The often volatile behaviour of UK housing stocks is analysed in an annual econometric model. Theory suggests that an increase in house prices leads to a rise in housing stock, whereas an increase in interest rates leads to a decrease in housing stock. This paper develops an econometric model to examine the cyclical activity of stocks of dwellings in the UK. The use of annual data allows us to analyse the period 1964-96. The paper also examines the time series behaviour of housing stocks, house prices and interest rates in the UK market. The evidence presented in this paper supports the predictions of theory. The presence of adjustment costs suggests that the adjustment of housing stocks is inelastic with respect to house prices.

Title : Agency theory and foreclosure sales of properties
Authors : K W Chau,R C K Ng
Abstract:

This study analyzes the effect of foreclosure status on residential property price using Hong Kong data. Results of previous studies on the effect of foreclosure status on property price have been mixed. Some suggested that foreclosed properties are sold at a discount, while others provided contrary evidence. In this study, we propose that agency issues, which were ignored in previous studies, have an important role to play in determining the prices of foreclosed properties under different market conditions. When the market is booming, the mortgage loan on a property is likely to be lower than its market value. The bank’s objective is to sell the property as quickly as possible to recover the loan. The tradeoff between time-on-the-market and transaction price implies that foreclosed properties are sold at a discount to market prices. On the other hand, during market downturns, the mortgage loan is likely to be higher than the market value. The banks will have less incentive to trade time-on-the-market for price, and foreclosed properties are less likely to be sold at a discount, and thus add bad debts into their books. Empirical results from Hong Kong suggest that that foreclosed properties are sold at a 10% discount in an up market, but are sold at no discount in a down market. The results are consistent with our prediction.
