Abstract
This paper proposes two new measures of illiquidity for real estate markets utilising concepts
from asset pricing. Segregating real estate through a regional lens, we provide an in-depth
analysis of real estate returns and illiquidity for the US and UK. Our results provide statistically
significant and economically meaningful evidence that real estate illiquidity predicts
real estate returns out-of-sample over and above a variety of control variables.
Keywords: Real Estate, Liquidity, Forecasting, Time-Varying Parameter VAR.
