ABSTRACT

It has been debated whether currently depressed real estate market is short-term phenomenon or the depressed market keeps going in the long run. The pessimistic views are based on the assumption that retirees liquidate their real estate for obtaining stable income stream in order to maintain their life patterns. Priori literature have suggested that demographic changes and retirement are influence factors in determining real estate price. However, it has been little empirically investigated in Korea. Utilizing panel data with a fixed effect model, this paper tests the retirement effects on the housing consumption. Empirical results show that as individuals retire and retirement period is extended, they sell their house. On the other hand, even the old keep their house as their income relative to spend remains stable. Since baby-boomers who retire soon have relatively stable income stream such as pension income, the housing price would not fall as much as expected even though the negative retirement effects of the baby- boomers on the real estate.
