In choosing a new home, Camille MeClain’s kids have a single demand: a backyard.
MeClain’s little ones aren’t the only kids who have an opinion when it comes to housing, and in many cases youngsters’ views weigh heavily on parents’real estate decisions, according to a 2018 Harris Poll survey of more than 2,000 U. S. adults.
While more families buck an older-generation proclivity to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions, realty agents and psychologists have mixed views about the financial, personal and long-term effects kids’ opinions may have.
"The idea of involving children in a big decision is a great idea because it can help them feel a sense of control and ownership in what can be an overwhelming process", said Ryan Hooper, a clinical psychologist in Chicago.
"Children may face serious difficulties in coping with significant moves, especially if it removes them from their current school or support system, " he said.
Greg Jaroszewski, a real estate brokers with Gagliardo Realty Associates, said he’s not convinced that kids should be involved in selecting a home—but their opinions should be considered in regards to proximity to friends and social activities, if possible.
"Younger children should feel like they’re choosing their home—without actually getting a choice in the matter, " said Adam Bailey, a real estate attorney based in New York.
"Asking them questions about what they like about the backyard of a potential home will make them feel like they’re being included in the decision-making process, " Bailey said.
Many of the aspects of homebuying aren’t a consideration for children, said Tracey Hampson, a real estate agent based in Santa Clarita, Calif. And placing too much emphasis on their opinions can ruin a fantastic home purchase.
"Speaking with your children before you make a real estate decision is wise, but I wouldn’t base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions. " Hampson said.
"The other issue is that many children—especially older ones—may base their real estate knowledge on HGTV shows," said Aaron Norris of The Norris Group in Riverside , Calif.
"They love Chip and Joanna Gaines just as much as the rest of us, " he said, "HGTV has seriously changed how people view real estate. It’s not shelter, it’s a lifestyle. With that mindset change come some serious money consequences. "
"Kids tend to get stuck in the features and the immediate benefits to them personally, " Norris said.
"Parents need to remind their children that their needs and desires may change over time, " said Julie Gurner, a real estate analyst with FitSmallBusiness. com.
"Their opinions can change tomorrow, " Gurner said, "Harsh as it may be to say, that decision should likely not be made contingent on a child’s opinions, but rather made for them with great consideration into what home can meet their needs best——and give them an opportunity to customize it a bit and make it their own. "
This advice is more relevant now than ever before, even as more parents want to embrace the ideas of their children, despite the current housing crunch.
[A] remarks that significant moves may pose challenges to children.
[B] says that it is wise to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions.
[C] advises that home purchases should not be based only on children’s opinions.
[D] thinks that children should be given a sense of involvement in homebuying decisions.
[E] notes that aspects like children’s friends and social activities should be considered upon homebuying.
[F] believes that homebuying decisions should be based on children’s needs rather than their opinions.
[G] assumes that many children’s views on real estate are influenced by the media.

答案
C
解析
题干考察Tracy Hampson的观点,原文定位Tracy Hampson说的话在第十段“Speaking with your children before you make a real estate decision is wise,but I wouldn’t base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions.”(在做一个真正的房产决定时提前告诉你的孩子是明智的。但我不认为购买决定只依据孩子的意见。)这句话中的wouldn’t base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions是should not be based only on children’s opinions的同义改写,故选C。
