Abstract
Housing choice and tenure choice have beenstudied from many different theoreticalperspectives and with a great variety ofmethodological approaches. In explaininghousing choice, researchers have shown theinfluence of both macrolevel (housing market,economic situation) and microlevel (age,income) factors. Relatively little attentionhas been given to motivational microlevelfactors such as goals and values. In thisarticle, the focus is on values and goals asdeterminants of housing choice. Therelationships between these motivationalfactors, other microlevel factors, and housingchoice are specified in an extended means-endmodel which is based on means-end theory. Theempirical validity of this extended model hasbeen partly assessed by using it to predictintended tenure choice. In the article,previous research on the motivations forhousing choice is discussed and the extendedmeans-end model is described. The empiricalresults of applying the model to intendedtenure choice are presented and discussed,while the assessment of the reliability of thevalue scales is also described.
