Note(s): The table reports the results of logit regressions of six subperiods. The dependent variable is a dummy for prepayment. All variables are described in Section 4. 1. Key variables in Model A and Model B are Monthly average Δhouse price (%) and ΔExpected house price (%), both of which are obtained from the REB database. The data of loan and borrower characteristics are obtained from HF. The z-statistics not reported are adjusted for heteroskedasticity. ***, ** and * denote statistical significance at the 1, 5 and 10% levels, respectively
