I am trying to see if house price is cointegrated with interest rate, per capita income and rental vacancy rate and got the following output from ca.jo in R:

# Johansen-Procedure # 
###################### 

Test type: maximal eigenvalue statistic (lambda max) , with linear trend 

Eigenvalues (lambda):
[1] 0.52471580 0.12579545 0.10395269 0.06262468

Values of teststatistic and critical values of test:

          test 10pct  5pct  1pct

r <= 3 |  8.47  6.50  8.18 11.65

r <= 2 | 14.38 12.91 14.90 19.19

r <= 1 | 17.61 18.90 21.07 25.75

r = 0  | 97.44 24.78 27.14 32.14

Eigenvectors, normalised to first column:
(These are the cointegration relations)

                    y.l2   income.l2 interest.l2     vac.l2
y.l2             1.00000000  1.00000000   1.0000000 1.00000000

income.l2   -10.16285869 -1.32443038 -12.6597547 0.61669614

interest.l2  -0.06759846 -0.35179735  -0.1535533 0.02143767

vac.l2        0.22771577  0.02087503  -0.4814448 0.02113804

So from what I understand, the output indicates that there is one cointegration relation. And using the 1st eigenvector, I should get that y(which is log_price)=-10.16*income-0.0675*interest+0.227*vacancy rate. However, I ran a ADF test on this combination and got p-value 0.11 (meaning the combination is still non-stationary!). Why is that? Am I using the wrong thing? What does the ".12" mean after the variable names?

Thank you for any help!

Maybe you have made some misspecification with regards to deterministic terms or lag length. Try to estimate a restricted VECM from your ca.jo()-output with cajorls(), extract $\beta$ and run the ADT-test on that process.
