We build an aggregate model with difierent size houses and liquid assets. Typical households are born, are subject to idiosyncratic earnings risk and save for both life cycle reasons and housing reasons. Typically, a subset of these households, after accumulating some assets, put a down payment and buy a small, starter’s, house or ∞at. As time passes, some households upgrade to a larger and nicer house. Households with houses may also eventually downgrade to a ∞at or even to no house and ∞at owners may sell. Our speciflcation attempts to replicate some important features of modern aggregate economies: The distribution of earnings and of housing and non-housing wealth as well as some macroeconomic aggregates, including features of the mortgage issuing sector.
