Book Description
This paper develops a model to rationally price fixed rate mortgages, using the arbitrage principles of option pricing theory. The paper incorporates amortization, prepayment and default in valuing the mortgage. Having completely specified the model, numerical procedures value the different features of the mortgage contract under a variety of economic conditions. The necessity of having both the interest rate and the house price as explanatory variables, due to the interaction of default and prepayment, is demonstrated. The numerical solutions presented center around mortgage pricing at origination. Thus, variations in the equilibrium contract rate are examined for differing economic conditions and changes in the contract. Finally, by presenting a complete model, the paper yields insights for the existence of common institutional practices.

Book Description
This paper uses a bivariate binomial options pricing technique to value the prepayment and default options in a fixed-rate mortgage. The American style options are dependent on two stochastic variables: (1) house price, (2) one year spot rate. The paper uses the standard lognormal process for house price and the CIR square-root process for interest rates. By forcing the two underlying state variables to undergo transformations, two new uncorrelated variables with constant volatilities are established. With constant volatilities, a computationally simple bivariate binomial tree is formed which greatly reduces the complexity of working with two state variables and is pedagogicallyuseful. Using this procedure, the price of any real estate contingent claim whose value is dependent on the one year spot rate and house price can be determined. Results are compared with those from a finite difference model.
