Abstract

An empirical study was designed to examine the relationship between consumer aspirations and achievements defined primarily in terms of ownership of the ideal home. The characteristics of consumers who differ in their achievement of home ownership were analyzed, along with their aspirations and behavior. It was found that the changing economic environment has negatively affected the achievement of home ownership rather than the aspirations to it.
