- Abstract
The article deals with the issue of trade-offs in housing and tries to inquire some of the elements involved in these trade-off decisions. This empirical inquiry focuses on a particular set of data involving household purchases of previously-occupied single family homes. It is assumed that with budget constraints and multi-dimensional character of the dwelling, households when purchasing a home are forced to substitute or trade-off certain characteristics of the dwelling for others. Analytically dealt, these characteristics are classified by different ways of which internal space and location of the dwellings are the major categories selected. The relationship of trade-offs with these components get influenced by various external or environmental factors through their impact on the options confronting families when the home is purchased. Differences in location costs is one such possibility of difference for most of the families but for few this might not be the reason of difference.
