  3. Overview of theHungarianresidentialrealestate market

  4. 1.1. Housing market inthesocialistera – until 1989 • Onefamily – oneflatrule. • Fewavailableinvestmentassets. • Unprofessional (governmentalorfamilybuilt) constructionindustry - lowqualityhomes.

  5. 1.2. Housing market inthenineties • Massamount of privatizedflats. • The flatswere of deterioratedquality. • Lack of credit market. Lowsupply and demandalso.

  6. Housing market afterthemillenNium Threepillars of thechange • Overall economic and financialstabilization. • More professionalconstructionindustry. • Hugegovernmentalsubsidysystem.

  7. Housing market duringtheCrisis • The crisis hit theHungarianeconomyseverely. • Threechannels of theeffect: • Decreasingincome of households. • Diminishing credit supply: banks had todealwiththeirproblemontheliabilityside. • Almost disappearinggovernmentalsubsidiesbecause of thefinancialconsolidation. • The prospectsarestillnotverygood.

  8. The paper: a modelwithqualitydifferential

  10. Observation 3! price of more expensivehomesrelativetothetypical (median) homeprice

  11. Model • simpleframework: endogenousvariables: price, quantity • dynamicstructure: laggingsupply • duplicationbyqualitylevel: „good” qualityhomes and „bad” qualityhomes

  12. Demand • Budgetconstraint incomewealthconsumptionexpenditure • Quadraticutilityfunction

  13. Supply • Profitmaximizingcompanywithadjustmentcosts • Supplyfunctions

  14. The dynamicsystem • 6 equations • 6 variables

  15. Simulation: increasingincome
