Abstract: We build a consumption asset pricing model with search frictions on the market for assets and idiosyncratic income shocks. Search is directed and a consumption-leisure decision drives the price-liquidity tradeoff: if consumption is marginally more desirable than leisure, a seller would be willing to wait longer for a higher price. Our model is consistent with two characteristics of the housing market, where search frictions are particularly important: i) procyclical liquidity (i.e. countercyclical time to sell) and ii) prices more sensitive to demand shocks.
