Abstract: This paper explores the risk and
return of a portfolio of single-family housing during
1978:1-2001:4 in the context of a portfolio of financial
assets. Homeownership offers higher returns to those
who have higher tax brackets, longer investment horizons
and use more financial leverage. Housing returns
are positively correlated with large-stock returns and
negatively correlated with returns on small stocks and
debt securities. Portfolio allocation to housing is large in
a minimum variance portfolio, and it increases with
longer holding periods and higher tax brackets. Homeownership
risk and return vary widely among the forty-two
MSAs studied, and within an MSA, housing returns
exhibit substantial variation.
