Further data were processed using ANOVA based on group of dual motives, time for buyer and family life cycle.FindingsThe results show that buyers have consumption motives in buying a residence and they behave rational, while investors prefer to buy an apartment and tend to behave heuristics. Dual motives of time for buyers are not significant to decision model. Family life cycle is significant to decision model based on dual motives.Originality/valueThis is an unpublished dissertation study to qualify for graduation.
