You overlook your own statement's wording. What you should state if
that is what you want to say is that some people only want to buy for
the dream of the home. It would also help if you recognize that the
dream is not like any other purchase decision or a business decision.
Because that's what probably makes you think that their second reason
is to invest their money. You probably still don't get it.
