Suppose that a consumer can borrow only with collateralizable housing wealth as security against the loan. As a result, the budget constraint is kinked. Initially, the budget constraint shifts in with a decrease in the price of housing from p to pp. For example, in the above figure, the initial budget constraint ABD shifts to FGH in this case.
