Popis: This article takes a new perspective on family-home decisions as an issue evolving over time and in the context of other family decisions. An intriguing discovery is that the first family home is important as a negotiation site for the development of preferences for future homes. Due to loss of buyer power in the decision preceding first high-commitment family home financial overcommitment and extensive renovation projects are common.
