Econ: How much of consumers’ assets are in their home?

January 16, 2013

About 29% according to JP Morgan Wealth Management …

I expected the number to be much higher

Financial assets are more than half.

Material “stuff” such as autos is less than 10%

In nominal terms, the aggregate consumer balance sheet has just about fought its way back to pre-crash levels.

So, why does it feel so bad?
