Tom and Lilly rented a house for $12,000 last year. At the start of the year they bought the house they had been renting directly from the owner for $250,000. They believe they could rent it for $12,000 this year, but stay in the house. How much does Tom and Lilly’s decision to buy the house change GDP?
