The edges of home ownership

Summary

The edges of home ownership are usually examined in terms of entry (affordability), sustainability (risk of exit through financial stress), and utility (retirees trading-out for asset-based welfare). However, preliminary research shows considerable 'churn' at the edges of home ownership in all age groups. Patterns and policy implications are explored in this project.
