Self-reported Housing Wealth in the SIPP

Abstract: This project analyzes homeowners' self-reported home values from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) 1990–2008 panels, which cover the period 1990–2013 and span the onset of major housing price run-ups through subsequent declines. I compare county-level housing price trends derived from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) index with those implied by homeowners' self-reported values in the SIPP. Results show that aggregate trends are largely consistent across the two sources. I further document key deviations between them and identify factors that explain these differences.
