A3c House Prices and Retirement Saving Behavior
Key Words
house prices, retirement saving
Short Description
The volatility of residential real estate prices since 2001 presents a unique opportunity to estimate the effect of home price fluctuations on retirement savings behavior. Home price appreciation increases the wealth of homeowners. This “passive” form of saving could offset contributions to retirement accounts such as IRAs or 401k-type plans. We intend to estimate the impact of changes in housing wealth on households’ retirement savings at individual and zip-code levels using CoreLogic data of house prices merged with the nationally representative data from the Health and Retirement Study. Since housing equity represents a large portion of assets of a typical American family, the question how changes in housing wealth impact retirement preparedness and saving behavior is important from the standpoint of both personal financial management and policy promoting consumer well-being.
