Notes

Abstract: This paper assesses the impact of housing market conditions on the theoretically
motivated and empirically observed negative relationship between loan to value ratios
and home maintenance expenditures. If the relationship is causal, then a down housing
market will result in significantly decreased upkeep in the housing stock. The large rise
and fall in home prices during the 2001-2009 period allows a unique opportunity to
analyze the response of homeowners to changing housing market conditions. Data from
the American Housing Survey is analyzed to confirm previous work that a negative
relationship exists between loan to value ratios and routine maintenance expenditures;
however, this relationship does not move in the expected direction when examined along
with temporal variations in market conditions. Panel analysis reveals a more complex
story. Households most likely to be at risk for default do decrease maintenance
expenditures when default risk increases, but other households actually increased
maintenance expenditures when the housing market conditions became less favorable.
