摘要：Prior studies on reference-dependence in the housing market have not considered transactions of neighboring properties as a potential reference point. We analyze administrative housing transactions data and show that both the seller’s original purchase price and the recent neighborhood selling prices are empirically valid reference points, controlling for market conditions. However, as the number of holding years of a property unit increases, the influence of the original purchase price as a reference point wanes, while the recent neighborhood transaction price becomes more influential. Thus, for longer holding periods, similar neighboring properties are better predictors of pricing under reference-dependence.
