“…Although these norms vary with stage in the life course and social group, generally in Western societies such norms prioritise single family (detached) properties, homeownership and the availability of surplus dwelling space. Those individuals living in housing not fitting the norm may feel dissatisfied with their housing situation, stimulating a desire to move to attain these valued attributes (Morris et al 1976;Morris and Winter 1975). Desires are therefore the first step in the mobility process, although they also continue to affect later stages.…”

Much research has investigated how individuals form these pre-move thoughts, with a largely separate literature examining actual mobility. Only a few studies have attempted to link pre-move thoughts to subsequent actual moves, but these often do not explicitly distinguish between different types and combinations of pre-move thoughts. Using 1998-2006 British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) data, this study is the first to investigate whether moving desires and expectations are empirically distinct pre-move thoughts. Using multinomial regression models we demonstrate that moving desires and expectations have different meanings, and often occur in combination: the factors associated with expecting to move differ depending upon whether the move is also desired (and vice versa). Next, using panel logistic regression models, we show that different desire-expectation combinations have different effects on the probability of subsequent moving behaviour.JEL Classification: J61, R21, R23

“…More so, households who are dissatisfied are likely to consider some form of adjustment. They may attempt to make adjustment to reduce dissatisfaction by revising their needs and expectations to reconcile the incongruity, or by improving their housing conditions through remodeling (Hamnett, 2001; Morris & Winter, 1975). According to Morris and Winter (1975), they may also move to another place to bring their housing into conformity with their needs and expectations.…”

“…They may attempt to make adjustment to reduce dissatisfaction by revising their needs and expectations to reconcile the incongruity, or by improving their housing conditions through remodeling (Hamnett, 2001; Morris & Winter, 1975). According to Morris and Winter (1975), they may also move to another place to bring their housing into conformity with their needs and expectations. However, both mobility and adjustments are subject to the constraints posed by financial resources at one's disposal and by information regarding alternative adaptation opportunities (Morris and Winter, 1975).…”

“…According to Morris and Winter (1975), they may also move to another place to bring their housing into conformity with their needs and expectations. However, both mobility and adjustments are subject to the constraints posed by financial resources at one's disposal and by information regarding alternative adaptation opportunities (Morris and Winter, 1975). Thus moving behavior is only one type of adjustment residents perform during the time of dissatisfaction of housing needs and expectations; but in the case of the low-income group, it might not be possible, as most cannot access housing on their own and the subsidized houses received might be their only life time opportunity to access housing.…”

“…Residential satisfaction has been theorised as an active process in housing adjustment of residential mobility model developed by [20], [21]. They forwarded the idea of ""housing deficit" and posited that households assess their housing conditions in relation to family norm and societal norm which are likely to be incongruent.…”
