This study analyzes the role of property risk in asset pricing by constructing the house-consumption based asset pricing model (HCAPM), in which properties are considered as consumption as well as assets. The theoretical analysis shows that the growth rate of the rent-to-income ratio affects stock risks and prices by influencing the covariance between the asset return and the growth rate of marginal utility. Empirical evidence shows that the HCAPM model can successfully price the mixed assets of stocks and properties and can avoid the risk-free rate puzzle. We also derive the linear factor model, which better explains cross-sectional variation in returns of the aforementioned mixed assets.
