“…It is a set of several simultaneous binary logistic regression model with one category of dependent variable set as reference. MLM has been applied to some studies on residence choice with complicated situation (Cho, 1997;Hughes, 2003;Kim, 1992;Li, 2000;Mulder, 2003;Seko & Sumita, 2007). It is the optimal choice of measuring housing decision of the young generation in this study.…”

“…Elements and events that influence housing decision are dependent on three main aspects: (i) nature of households, e.g., age, gender, marital status, income, assets, children, job (Eppli & Childs, 1995;Jones, 1995;Robst, Deitz, & McGoldrick, 1999;Tan, 2008;VanderHart, 1994), educational background (Asberg, 1999;Ioannides & Rosenthal, 1994), and housing history (Boehm & Schlottman, 2004;Ioannides & Kan, 1996;Kan, 2000); (ii) factors such as basic housing attributes, e.g., room type and area (Ellickson, 1981;Tu, Kwee, & Yuen, 2005), housing expenditure (Ermisch & Salvo, 1996;Robst et al, 1999), and housing location (Boehm & Schlottman, 2004;Cho, 1997); and (iii) macroeconomic factors such as the impact of social environment, e.g., income tax (Fallis, 1983;Rosen, Rosen, & Holtz-Eakin, 1984), inflation (Follain, 1982), macroeconomic shifts (Clark, Deurloo, & Dieleman, 1994), related laws (Brownstone, 1988), and housing policy (Bourassa & Yin, 2006, 2008. There are also some individual psychological elements such as expected mobility (Kan, 2000;Schulz, Wersing, & Werwatz, 2014), eagerness for housing ownership (Seko & Sumita, 2007) and housing market expectation (Ho, 2006;Kraft & Munk, 2011).

Housing preferences and attribute importance among low-income consumers in Saudi Arabia

“…Previous studies have been conducted in China (Cho, 1997;Li, 2003;Wang & Li, 2006); Scotland (Parkes & Kearns, 2003); Panama (Koizumi & McCann, 2006); Sweden (Brownstone & Englund, 1991); Finland (Loikkanen, 1992); Ghana (Tipple & Willis, 1991); Japan (Seko & Sumita, 2007) to mention a few.
